As I've mention a few times, here in the UAE our cars go through a mechanical and visual inspection every year before registration can be renewed - I went for mine today and passed

I was one nervous SOB because you are not allowed to modify cars here without RTA approval, which unless you are a local is pretty much impossible to get. After the underside visual all was good, I was worried I was going to get called out on the exhaust or the bright yellow Koni's but it all went through. That is until they dropped the car back down and started looking for fender gap... They said the car was too low and must have been modified, I said I bought the car that way and the previous owner must have done something (oops, did i tell a fib?) but it passed inspection every other year (oops, another one) without a problem - they let me go.

So, now it goes in on Saturday for the BBK's and when I get back from NY - Kleemann time

 

I hope it the SC kit.

 

Congrats Kev! -"I said I bought the car that way and the previous owner must have done something" usually works everytime Can't wait to see the SC installed!

 

If it hadn't have passed on height I would have had to swap the OEM springs back in, if it hadn't passed because of the airbox, headers & exhaust I would have had to but it all back to factory and forget about the SC. But, since the power mods passed I'm moving forwad - supercharger and cams.

 

I'm jealous!!

 

If I get transferred out of Dubai to a right hand drive country I'll sell you my car

 

Haha, you bet I could guess what car you would get if you got transferred out of Dubai to a right hand drive country

 

Lol, yep, that's the one, even the same color blue

 

Hehe, it must have been somewhat fun getting a ride in the gtr to the hotel then
I hope you get it one day!

 

Congrats, glad to hear that!

 

they look for wheel gap in dubai ??
back in Lebanon, they only look for tinted windows (which is illegal by the way unless it came that way from the dealership) busted headlights/taillights, CO emission and suspension.... but they won't fail you for lowering the car or changing the shocks...

anyways... congrats !!

 

Another success story. Well done.

 

congrats! but I think you are pushing it to think they will not notice a blower when they open tho hood next Aug
you are building one sweet ride!

 

They don't exactly look for gap mate, they look at the height of the car, lowering is a mod and is not allowed.

Ya, it might be pushing it but with the Kleemann kit you can actually fit the factory air box back on over it, so, a month before the inspection I'll put it on and let the under hood get good and dusty.


Thanks guys, huge relief!
