Hi All .... New member (well i joined years ago but never posted anything )

Just bought yesterday a 2017 lapis Blue STI .
Living in Dubai but from the UK.

Hello to all ... :-)

 

Welcome mate

looks fantastic

 

Welcome along,car looks very nice indeed

 

Welcome!

 

nice,

is it true you don't have alarms or even lock your car there as no one dare steal anything?

 

That's a really classy hue. Suits it big time.

 

Nice colour that, if you ever come back bring it with you. Rust free example that will be.

 

You do have alarms etc but you can leave your car unlocked if you want, there is a very small % who would actually steal anything. In my building apartment someone left the door open on there SRT Jeep ... i closed it 4 hours later .. was all good . Dont get me wrong there is crime and people steal stuff but it is small cases. its quite safe .

Thanks all for the welcome ... :-)

 

Very nice

 

Very nice!

Saw quite a few scoobs when I was over in July for a holiday/visting my sister.

Its crazy how you can leave cars running and anything sitting about, been going to Dubai for years and never seen any crime.

 

Welcome mate, very nice car. Be interested to hear how you get on in the extreme temps? August was nice and hot when we last visited. Friend of mine has just needed to fit a oil cooler not only to the engine but the diff too. But that is an off roader.
Will you be taking it round Yas?

 

Is this true? I thought there would be people with AK47's ready to blow people up!

Nice Motor by the way!

 

Do we get the colour option in the UK?

 

AWG - I had an additional oil coller on my previous Evo X . that was for the diff.

Ill see how it handels the summer heat . It is GCC spec (Middle East spec basicilly) so had some upgrades to handel the heat as standard.

The just had a track event at Yas over the weekend , mine is not run in yet but will take it down and see what can do around the track :-)

 

Nice

 

Great stuff! What is different on the ME spec? Bet the sun can be a real bugger on the paint. Keep us updated, will make for an interesting read.

All the best

 

AWG - the main differences i can tell is slightly bigger radiator for hot weather , The Air con unit is better and think it gets full rust proofing for the humidity . Otherwise i think they are mainly the same as Euro / US spec's.
