hey guys need a quick and confirm answer....one of friend want to buy a 06 civic si coupe from US and it has been installed a Greedy turbo kit. Now can the car be registered here in UAE specially in abu dhabi/alain?

someone told him if kit is installed in US then they do register the car. The work done of the car is really nice and have a turbo logo on the engine cover maybe you can say its factory turbo :D

Same is the case of a Z with a twin turbo kit again from US

he has to choose between these two...what i thought was as Z is here is already so they might know about the car but as Si coupe doesnt come here so there might be a chance..

I'm not sure about this, and take my word no one will be. It is a gamble, try bringing it down here and leave the rest to your luck.

K20 exhaust manifold is behind (firewall side) like the 4B11, you can always make a custom heat-shield so that it covers the bells&whistles.

Yes, but you could get lucky. Its a matter of trying but I wouldn't take the risk of getting the car down here if I was you.

To much risk involved...I would walk away and look for something else. Why not import a bad a$$ evo from the the states? They sell for cheap these days!
