I don't intend to, besides I don't know the way that much, I only know to branch at ife road at the ibadan interchange, also I know kogi to kano is on straight line my problem will be navigating through osun and ondo to the okenne road but I intend to mak use of the almighty SYGIC, my intended speed will be around 120 and 150km, maybe 220km once just to prove am a Dare devil.

wow, i never knew lagos to kano is up to 1000km...
well, i think your car should make the journey..because have travel non stop from lagos-maiduguri many times..even with golf 3 wagon...

nothing knew there..but, you been a stranger on the road..i think you should drive as the poster above me describe*SLOW*

Only try ilorin-mokwa - jebba if u intend to travel in a petrol tanker and not the car in d pix above. Believe me your front and rèar bumpers will be sitting on your back sit by the time you come out at suleja.

Lived in the north for 20years. I've made this kind of trip over a 100times. Drive slow. 120max. There used to be over 30check points from lagos to abuja, driving fast will not help you beat the checkpoints and bad roads. You also recently rebuilt that engine.
Drive slow.

Thanks bro, I just got back from that same journey today, but was in a luxurious bus, those roads have too many breakages will take it easy, life has no duplicate

Please Gurus in the House, does this calculation work if a distance is 1000km and you are driving 200km/h. if you divided 1000km by 200km you get 5, does that mean if am in a bugatti, doing 200km/h then I will cover the whole 1000km in just 5 hours. Gurus, over to you

Theoretically yes, but I doubt if any Bugatti can do a continuous 200mph for 5 hours straight.

Good day people, so I have somethings that are important that needs fixing in the car

1. The speedometer, out of my instrument cluster, it's the only one not working but the mechanic said I should allow a rewire check it but am adamant to get a tokunbo speed sensor and work from there.

2. My passenger side mirror plastic is damaged, I would need to replace the plastic or the whole casing if it won't break an arm and a leg

3. I want to get belt for the car if I can just incase of incasity, lol

I intend visiting Owode Onirin and ladipo to source out this items, but anyone who has for sale and @ a good price then am game because I don't even know how to get to this places.

cc Gazzuzz please if you can assist me in finding out the price of this items am going there on Friday probably.
