Put one in a 1963 Chevy stepside years ago in Pattaya
Bought from the big market in BKK
Around 25-30 K complete with all ECU, wiring harness, O2 sensors, etc.
Was still attached to the front clip when I bought it.
What market in Bangkok are you refering too?

Anyone know what a Toyota 1UZ-FE-V8 (1989-2004) costs in Thailand, approximate price and where to get hold on one?.
See several MB who have had the original engine replaced with a Toyota engine.
Want to buy an MB 126 300-500SE 1988-1991, but want a Toyota V8 engine.
Anyone know of a workshop that takes such jobs in Bangkok or in Chonburi area, and what will such an "operation" cost? -
Help me to decide witch one to buy, it will be a 2 hand one (cash) with a maximum of 30,000 km on the counter.
Plan to keep the car for up to 5 years.
Feel free to tell us a little about operational safety and security when it comes to collisions etc.
What about resale value.
Which one would you have chosen and why? -
Is this still possible and is it recommended? Have heard over the years that this is discouraged,
you risk losing all of your investments and you can, from what I have heard, risk being deported from Thailand for several years?
If this is still possible, which law firm is recommended and what are the costs of setting up such a firm?
I live in Chonburi Province.
What is the truth about this?

Did you try kratom ? I started using it to lower my high coffee intake to stay awake, and it's got me surprisingly calm and peaceful. I'm stressful but not anxious, maybe you should give it a try ?
No I have not. Is it legal and where can it be bought?

Go to a decent private hospital. Immediately. Talk to a doctor about trying Alprazolam (AKA Xanax, short acting Benzo). It'll help you get your sleep in order in the short term.
FWIW I am also medically diagnosed with GAD (not my own diagnosis) and suffer severe panic attacks, also related to childhood trauma. I went through this most of my adult life without seeking help but I have this under control now with very good psychiatric help that I've had in Thailand, and the support of my wife and children. Alprazolam has been highly effective, I now only take it in very small doses occasionally, a couple of times a week to help me sleep or for emergencies. I am a chronic insomniac, my problem is sleep initiation, but once asleep I have no problem staying asleep. Your problem may not be the same, but in my case, immediate release, short acting GABA medication is extremely effective. Taken with caution, and occasionally, it will not lead to addiction.
I take it in such low doses now, my doctor has moved me onto occasional Zolpidem, just for sleep initiation as needed, but I keep an emergency dose of Alprazolam in my wallet, just in case. I find that reassuring.
DO NOT self medicate. See a doctor. Get your sleep patterns in order, stay off the alcohol for a few weeks. Things will get better. Good luck to you, friend.
Thank you very much for an honest and comprehensive answer, yes I have to contact a psychiatrist / doctor at eg Bangkok Hospital.
Will gladly accept more answers to hear their experiences. -
Can you buy this at a pharmacy in Thailand without a prescription?
I need help finding a good / recommended medicine with the least possibility of addiction. I realize that is almost impossible to ask for, but I can no longer manage this life, I do not function normally.
Is exhausted and almost constantly tired, constantly tense and eases dizziness.
I also lie for hours (up to 6-7 sometimes) before I get to sleep, a thousand thoughts an hour rage through my head, unable to just close my eyes and relax, find peace to fall asleep.
Have talked to psychiatrists about this problem several times, but it's just about my childhood, growing up blah blah ...
Have told that I do not know what I'm thinking, I can not find any specific problem to talk about.
Ok, I did not have it so easy growing up / youth when my parents divorced when I was 7 years old.
I have dignosis general anxiety, have checked all symptoms even on Google and I can cross off 80% of them, so I trust the diagnosis.So can anyone help me and lead me in the right direction?

Has been offered to buy a 2017 model from an acquaintance, the car has all services and has around 40,000 km.
I myself have never owned a Ford in my entire life, but I would like to hear from you who own / have owned a similar car in Thailand.
How is the quality and reliability of these cars, and what about the service at Ford Thailand? -
I want to buy a 4 door Isuzu D-Max (new model), not used one.
But is there anyone who can help regarding how big a difference there is between a 1.9L and 3.0L when it comes to everyday driving, as well as overtaking? Does the 3.0L provide a better driving experience than the 1.9L?
The 1.9L sound a little small in such a large car? 1.9L is a bit cheaper than 3.0L, but this is of a little less importance, would rather buy a car that I know I can be happy with, than end up making the wrong choice in terms of engine size.
All help is gratefully accepted.

He bought it new in 2010. Works in Bangkok, but live in Pattaya. Go an come back is 300 km every day. No major engine replaceme done.
-
I was really surprised when I spoke and saw the car (owned by foreigner) ... a friend has an Isuzu MU 7 which has incredible 835.000 km and is still in very good condition. Only had normal services every 10.000 km.
Must be a very reliable engine ???

Nissan has CVT if buying new
What is CVT?

We had a little discussion yesterday evening regarding a friend who would buy a new car.
I have no particular knowledge of some of the cars, but I think that Nissan is the prettiest.
Which car would you choose?
The person planning owning the car for 7-8 years.

First start learning for your license
I have a boat driver's license up to 60 feet in Norway.
If you can not answer my questions in a proper way, don`t answer;-)
-
Can not find the right forum for this, so I put it in here.
I plan on buying a 40-50 foot in about 3 years, type of motor sailor, ie a boat that combines sailing and motor, as desired.
This kind of "sailboat" is planned to accommodate for more comfort and space than a typical sailboat.
The plan is and spend 1-2 years and stay in the boat, while traveling in Thailand and neighboring countries.
1. What laws apply to anchoring off an island, distance and number of days?
2. Are there many excellent marinas around in Thailand and what it costs per. days, or one must be a member and use the port?
3. What service harbors where one can get fixed problems?
4. Which insurance company can be recommended for the boat?
5. Do I need any certificates in Thailand / Asia, or other papers?
If any of you have experience of living and traveling around in a boat, it would have been nice and hear from you and your experiences.

I have an above ground pool that is octagonal 3x3 meters in a wooden frame with Linar.
We plan 6-9 months in Norway, and wonder if I should let the water be in the pool or not?
I will cover the pool with an elastic PVC top and turn off the pump and filter.What is your advice?

There are numerous dealers around BKK that offer 2nd hand harleys but the finance deals are often on the steep side ....check out mocyc dot com big bike page (big bike link and can search specifically for Harleys) ...they often come with an example of 'down' and months X installment ...from there you can figure out if its good or not.
Will check it out, cheers;-) -
A friend is looking for a used Harley, will pay 20 to 30 percent cash and the the rest in monthly installments.
Anyone know of a company in Thailand that offers this?
Link with pictures and prices would have been nice. Thanks.
