G-FORCE Auto Worx Preview
I got a chance to check out G-FORCE Auto Worx in the Free Trade Zone yesterday; as they were having a photo-shoot to get ready for their launch in July. The owners have gone all out putting together an unbelievable garage (4wheel dyno, Ferrari-approved prep/paint booth) that is levels above the current offerings in Shuwaikh. In addition to the garage, there is a showroom on the first floor that is going to have some very interesting sports cars for sale and a store carrying racing memorabilia (sadly, the signed Schumacher racing suit is not for sale), gear (shoes, racing suits, helmets) and aftermarket parts (rims, exhausts, etc).
One of the biggest issues with modifying cars in Kuwait is the lack of a capable garage; and G-Force is looking to fill that void. They are setting up to be a car-lovers haven and I will be getting more info on the garage, showroom and shop as they get closer to launch.
More pictures below.

I thought having those matt-black stickers/paint jobs were illegal in kuwait?
2. K.theKuwaiti | May 16th, 2008 at 9:36 am
The GT2 and Murcielago are both painted matte black, not sure if its illegal, depends who you ask.

That garage looks cool Can someone explain why painting a car matte would be illegal, that confused me?
4. AMQ | May 16th, 2008 at 10:17 am
its kuwait. . . we dont have to have any legit reason for making things illegal. . . things just are. . .

no pictures of the inside?

Jim:
I believe its because the speed camera’s have issues with the flat paint (not sure tho).
Mark:
Next post .. they still haven’t finished setting up the inside.

@amq: I heard matte-black paint jobs/stickers are illegal because they don’t show on radar scanners/other police surveillance and thus can be used to smuggle in drug across the desert easily

“Tuning soon”
heh..
9. bo9agr | May 16th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
do they offer tuning packages from famous tuning companies? or they just order stuff off the internet and install them?
10. K.theKuwaiti | May 16th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
bo9agr:
From what I heard, they are going to be the official distributors for several high-end tuners. The 4-wheel dyno even has live tuning capability (The Dyno/ECU results are sent directly to the tuner who adjusts it for your car/region and sends it back to update the ECU).

that sounds cool.. thanks.

Defiant, according to an episode of myth buster, thats just a myth.

The biggest issue is customization being illegal.

19. the11thmuse | May 17th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
pretty awesome, can’t wait to tune:D
20. jaz | May 17th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
We have never had a problem with performance parts supply in Kuwait… there are tons of people to provide for the average sports car. However there is no1 to tune the cars, even the easiest cars to tune cannot be tuned in Kuwait… Mustangs, 350Zs, Evos, Stis… sports cars in other words. Good thing this shop is opening up a 4wheel dyno, this would be the second on in Kuwait, but without tuning it will end up like the first one. I wonder who is gonna be the tuner? K. Got names?
21. Bader | May 24th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
I know the 4WD drive dyno next to dent xpress got closed down. They were charging ridiculous amounts for a run, around 60KD just because they were a 4wd dyno. Also from what I’ve heard, the owner has sold the 4WD dyno, most probably to Geforce.
It looks like a really good idea, I just hope they don’t start charging ridiculous amounts like other “European” tuning companies in Kuwait.
Any contact information for the company yet?
22. Mohammed J | May 25th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
About the 4wd dyno, i know the 4wd dyno that g force ordered is a much higher spec than the one that is in nasser center, with live tune option, optical reader etc, plus the fans r custom made for them from Dynojet direct not like the other dyno’s in kuwait that use home made fans or cheap ones(wansa fans) LoooL
From my point of view- the location speaks for itself !!!
Good luck guys and wish u the best !!!

Contact info?
24. dezrt ninja | June 1st, 2008 at 12:23 pm
this is a great idea, i hope they keep service levels high and prices appropriate, and don’t just charge a huge amount just because they can (as many companies in Kuwait do) it would be nice to be able to do high quality modifications in Kuwait.

CooL place , hope we see more of those places in kuwait
and god forbid one day we actually see a track open for the public.
We are not asking for the Nurburgring, all we ask for is a decent track so our youth would get there energy on the track rather than the streets and
start giving the other guys a hard time driving calmly.

Until then .. there is always GulfRun.
