Great KEKE Pimped In CALABAR by tonychristopher: 9:36am On Jul 08, 2015
For those of us that keep criticising and analysing cars, inshort to those of us that are nairalnad car specialist that cant even convert a wheel chair to a motorized mobile equipment but will analyse the horsepower and capacity of engines produced by a guy in Europe. For them that will criticise the locally made cars like INNOSSON and other real engineers and car builders not all these online car techs, if you claim that you are that good and worth the respect of other car novice but users like us, please fabricate, remodify or even construct a common 5 stroke engine, it will be then people like me will take you serious and respect you...but for now you guys are arm chair online critics and analyst without any hands on experience
A guy named Kenneth who lives in Calabar but is from Nnewi in Anambra state redesigned this Keke. He added the stuff in front to make it more balanced. Makes sense or nah? See a pic of Kenneth after the cut...
Now this is what I call pimping my ride and it ain easy but he tried ...i know they will either ban this post or yank it off but what i keep saying is..... stop been a critic

Just don’t bloody care

I want to see the steering before I comment. If there's no steering rack then its a waste of time. The normal keke is safer.

TonyChristopher, chill out, wind your neck in.

Anyone can be a critic. You don't have to build an engine to know if an automotive creation is garbage. How many auto journalists do you know that have built a car? Look at the Top Gear crew. Jeremy Clarkson did NOT even major in Automobile Engineering, neither does he come from a mechanical background.

Yet he's an authority on automotive issues, respected worldwide.

To be a good critic means emotion should be kept out of things. You don't praise rubbish, just because it originated from your country, or it was built by your brother.

That creation pictured above is an absolute disaster. It has no stability, the wheels are too small for the vehicle's height, there's no room for the wheels to steer. It has sharp edges that would not promote progressive deformation in the event of a crash. It's an accident waiting to happen.

This is crap, for too many reasons. Instead of trying to manufacture/remodel cars, Nigerians should start manufacturing ordinary toothpicks, safety matches and other ridiculous things we still import.

TonyChristopher has spoken. Too intent on applying a racial slant to anything that doesn't favour the black man, that the obvious is missed.

As I posted earlier, remove emotion and sentiment, and you'll notice lots of things you're currently blind to. It's not about Black or White, it's about practicality and safety. Take a closer look at that "modified" trike. Can't you see what's so wrong about it? Is it safe? Would you let it transport your kids?

Before you accuse me of "praising the white man", take a look at the automobile, cell phone, laptop etc you're using. Even the airplane you fly in.

How many of these items are made by Nigerians? If your items are NOT made by Nigerians, yet you're getting all butt hurt that not ever Nigerian shares your sentiment with regards to a badly-modified trike, then you sir are a Hypocrite.

It's not about patriotism, it's about good old common sense and practicality.

That old chestnut? The age-old defense the average Nigerian uses, in an attempt to get the upper hand in a debate.

Tell me something bro, how many qualified engineers do YOU know, who have manufactured components in let's say a cordless drill, despite being qualified for 30-odd years?

There are more engineers who throughout their useful working years will NEVER manufacture a car. This does NOT make them any less qualified than the minority who will go on to design and build power units.

Remodelling an existing vehicle into the mess above does NOT qualify one to be described as a major brain

Understanding the fundermentals behind how an existing engine works, and what makes a structure SAFE makes one worthy of praise, one who has done their homework, and who will go far in the automotive industry.

Rather than just say crap, then leave it at that, pick holes in my argument. In simple terms, dissect my statement, stating which parts you feel are incorrect and why.

From a professional point of view, there is nothing to appreciate in this attempt. What has been achieved? Did he improve stability, safety? Did he modify efficiency, emission? Any power enhancement? Was the engine transferred to that boxy front? It could have been even better had he installed good retractable weather shield.

For fanfare, you can dance and pop him some beer for his effort.

Prattle talk? No better than you stating my previous write-up was cràp. Meaning you have nothing useful to add to your previous effort. You've still failed to dissect my argument, you're simply making a blanket statement because it covers your inadequate knowledge of anything technical.

Compliment the guy that messed up a perfectly good trike? Why would I do that, when he's achieved nothing?

And please, stop playing the "seeing black as inferior to white" card, it's useless here. Sentiment has no place when it comes to appreciating technology, regardless of which race were involved in it's production.

Just do you know, I'm a proud Nigerian, superior in my own field, and neither Negroes, Asian or Caucasian have any issues working under my direction.

How can somebody critic something without hands on experience...these guys are terrible, to the keke dude, i give it to you, you are better than all the professor emeritus in auto and mechanical engineering that blow big grammar without hands on experience or any thing to show for it.

Better to be quiet and assumed dumb, than speak up and remove all doubt. You are technologically bereft, simple.

State one thing your hero has achieved by disfiguring that Keke. No, you are brewing sentiment. Next, somebody will take a wheel barrow, add five wheels to it and expect a standing ovation.

Quit celebrating mediocrity!

Quit committing appaling false dichotomy fallacy online. Siena ia no arm chair critic, he is worth his weight in gold when it comes to automobiles. I have been silently following his various automobile projects here on Nairaland. I may not be an auto guru, but I wouldn't let a village clown take a ride in that Kazeem modified metal contraption. Can the contraption you posted above successfully climb an eight inches high speed bump? Quit praising mediocrity.

With all due respect, I will tell you this.

I have carried out automobile modifications here in the UK, that have been magazine featured by:

GTI Special #6.
Fast Car.
Performance VW.

Now when you modify cars in the Western world, these cars MUST have independent inspection, and once passed, will be issued with an engineer's report. This means the vehicle is deemed safe for use on public roads. Without these, you couldn't get the car through an MOT test. Meaning you couldn't register the car or tax it. Also, you would NOT get insurance.

All my cars pass inspection, despite very little remaining of the original cars. My modifications are safe, and functional. Just like my current 2 projects will be.

Here are some extracts from Fast Car Magazine. This was built in 1997, and went through 3 paint jobs, and 2 engine transplants. I won't give any more details, it's all perfectly legible, if you care to read:
