Welcome to the forums fender!

For these parts, you can contact Performance MotorSpares, a guy called Joseph - on his mobile +971 50 674 5072.

Else, there's a shop in Sharjah on a corner, small performance shop.. But I don't know their name. Go to "bmw road", and you'll see it.. It's next to some big shop that sells hooker headers and edelbrock jewels.

Do you Dyno's as in Dynamo meters? There's one in Al Quoz (if I'm not mistaken).. From a company that makes "superchips".. I think it's even called superchip or something.. ultrachip, megachip, ... Don't know, but they are expensive for doing just some fuel tuning.

But I think you can rent the dyno for (guesstimate) 300 aed/hour..

Just make sure there's a market for it.. As in feasbility studies. A friend of mine and myself want to start a dyno somewhere in UAE as well, but since the machine itself cost a LOT of $$$, better make sure that you'll go beak even or get profit out of it.

And yes, if it comes there, there'll be a special UAEBoost member discount :)

Well actually you can have great adevrtising with dyno's.. Since all people claim to have XXX horsepower.. Well, prove it. :)

Downside is that people will be afraid to find out the hard truth..

Because in the end, do you feel the difference between 710 and 750 horsepower?

Is actually dangerous, but yeah.. :)

Is the "tuning community" big in Egypt? Except for vtec, NOS and greddy stickers?
