Hi Gordon, we have another senior techy from Ireland @Barry you are not alone now, lolol For calliper painting, if I may suggest opting for powder coating instead will last very long and also looks nicer than the paint. My friend has used http://rainbowpowdercoatings.com/ for his wheels and he was pretty happy with the pricing and quality offered

Welcome to the crazy future advancements of Digitized Protection Film seems like quite an innovative way to take the conventional Paint Protection Film to the next level. Actually the job of paint protection film was to wrap the car with same or different color for protecting the original car paint. Later that advancement has taken to another level when people started using the car paint protection film for decorative and temporary color change purposes, like we have seen nice body wrap of UAE flag and its colors during the national day. Now this digitized protection film is going to surpass all level of imagination, if its true what it looks like in this instagram video.

All it takes is maximum 2-3 drives to really unleash all its power in your hand. It just that your work schedule is not letting that happen

16” Rim-265/70/16 = 30.6 Inch 17” Rim-265/65/17 = 30.6 Inch 18” Rim-265/60/18 = 30.5 Inch 19” Rim-270/55/19 = 30.7 Inch 20” Rim-265/50/20 = 30.4 Inch You can calculate your stock tire height first and then upgrade to any other wheel size + downgrade the profile of tire to result in overall similar height, to avoid any rubbing issues. Here's how to calculate tire height Example: 16” Rim-265/70/16 = 30.6 Inch 265 x 70% = 185.5 mm (One side profile height of tire) 185.5 x 2 = 371 mm (up and down profile height of tire) 371 mm = 37.1 cm = 14.6 Inch (Total profile height of tire in Inches) 14.6 Inch + 16 Inch Wheel = 30.6 Inch total tire height

I haven't understood your question clearly, what exact advise you are looking for.....! 17 inch itself is borderline acceptable for offroading if you bump to 18 or 19 with a low profile or medium profile tire its a COMPLETE NO for offroading. I really doubt you can add normal profile tire on 18 or 19 without lifting 2-3 inch or else it will result in rubbing the wheel arch on turning.

Go to Deira Naif market opp Hyatt Regency and you can buy this on any big accessories shops like Al Doha, Al Ghazal, Golden Wheel, Golden Seat, City Star etc. Send a guy with physical sample than an image and its easy to source.

Audi A5 is a beautiful car and I second with Fred on everything he said. Check the oil consumption as that can tell a lot about turbo and engine health. It's slightly expensive to maintain (not overly) but good looking and fun car to drive. If the car is well maintained and regularly looked after then it's nice.

It was a really nice intermediate drive in a sandbox after a long time

Problem is Old Pathfinder was not vrooming at all, she was zzzzzing on top of a nice dune.

Are you really serious on this....? Next it must be costing 100 or 125 that means they have rebranded crony to Motorola.

I'm not sure, but I think Glanz is the fastest points earner to gain 98 points in 16 hours with just 1 topic. Of course, he picked the most debatable topic, lololololol

Get well soon bud, it's in the air. Hope nothing serious

OK let me break it down slowly: Guest can browse, but with the popups. All members have to upgrade themselves to Active Membership by spending 100 points, Expert for 500 points and Legend for 1000 points. This upgrade is mandatory now and that's why pop-ups were forcing you. Once you upgrade to active membership no pop-ups will be shown. All members have been credited 100 points in their account and whenever next they log in, they have to upgrade to Active member to participate in the forum for asking a question, joining offroad drive, posting images, sharing experiences etc. So for using Carnity, everyone has to participate and contribute in some or the way to earn points to renew their membership. All upgrades are for 1 full month, means if you have upgraded today (11 Apr 2019) then your active membership will expire on 10 May 2019. This membership upgrade cannot be renewed automatically because: You might take holidays and use your points to upgrade when you are available in the country. You might save your points for future for discussing serious car issues or upgrades. You might upgrade to another level, based on different benefits offered.

Brilliant and very detailed write up on explaining the basics of "Engine Air Filter" One of the most important factors you touched is the shape to consider that often time get neglected between the brand and price battle. I'm sure this will help a lot new car and offroad enthusiast's here.

Edit option has now moved as a feature for different levels.

Brilliant post @Emmanuel, thanks for sharing this. I'm so tempted to go to Shuweihat Island now after seeing all these images and video.

Every car has a specific tire pressure mentioned on the driver door sill and in the owners manual, check both and follow that. If in doubt, stick to 30-32 PSI and you should be good.

Hahahaha, good salesmen. I'm using Motorola MT777 from 5 years and after 4 years its battery started to die and I bought another one. Maybe make a new post here of buying a bulk radio and get few newbies so that one of you can go to DM and buy it off for everyone, just a thought. @Emmanuel can share a shop from where he bought bulk for 150 per piece. For tomo drive you can use the spare radio, we have for newbies.
