Bros I like that 190e. I'd like to get a really good one.
Do you think I can get it for that price and how much do you think will be able to make it worth a ride.
I was aso considering bmw 1997 model. I just need a guidance and other opinion on it. 190e or bmw 1997. In naija and also depending on ur area the 190e would likely be more reliable and easy to access (parts) more than the bmw. But which of the bmw are u talking about. The e30 i guess. But the bmws (both e30 and e36 325i) are more powerful in HP than the benz 190e. The bmw are more performance oreintated. So in short. If u need performance over reliability and eay access of parts go for that bmw. And vice versa. But for me the bmw will be cool, cus its not like it is always unreliable, it just needs a caring owner to take good care of it. (Like hashim and his papasmurf bmw e30.) 1 Like |

Re: 8 Cheap Cars To Get You Into Tuning In Naija by JohnWriter: 7:41am On Dec 06, 2016 |
@OP, do you have any of these cars for sale or you know where I can get one? xvbill: Before I start with the list, you should know that these cars are my own personal opinion, and tunung is not widely done in naija but its still done by some petrolheads. So for those of us in that "petrolhead" category. If u consider going into to the car tuning world, here is a list of cars to consider.
8. Vw golf mk1 and mk2 Never underestimate this bad german, its light, cheap, parts are very available. Price range 200k-300k
7. Audi tt. Mk1 Very nimble, solid engine to begin with 160hp RWD . audi parts are not so widely in available in my place (Abj) maybe its in lagos. Price range ?
6. Mercedes benz 190E 2.6 This one was used by our elders and even if u asked them about the performance of the car they will tell u its a beast. Go for the 2.6 litre straight six version. The chasis is very good. This car was overengineered. U can get one from. 190k- 260k. Parts are very available
5.Older mustangs. 1990s Not too common on the roads but if u like most car guys and you like visiting junk yard, mechanic garages you can find one lying around. If in good condition, especially the v8s, its a nice platform to work with. price range depends on the car condition. What I do know is, its never gonna be above 400k.
4.Mercedes benz clk If am not mistaking, I mean that Benz a guy named sultan (drift king) owns. And if u are used to abj stunts there is also a white one owned by top sports team. A v6 engine that produces around 231hp. (According to owner) i don't really know the exact year and model but pls any one that knows the car better should help me describe it better. As far as I know they are mostly AT. Price 270k-400k.
3. BMW e36. Haha no much to say, u all know what this machine is, with different variants i4s and i6s. But the best deal to go for is a coupe 325. That's what most drifters use in abj. If u watch the stunts @ wuye, idu u should notice that. And what more. They sound incredible with straight pipes. HP 102 to 193hp depending on variant. The 325 produces 192 hp @ 5200rpm and 250Nm @ 4k rpm. manual trannys are miles better than the autos. Price 200k- 350k
2. Nissan S13 and S14 So much love and support from car community, but i think maybe your average nissan mechanic doesnt know the "SX" Nissan. Not so common on our roads but u might one day stumble across one and if its for sale and you dont buy it, u may end up regreting. (Just a car guy thing). Its very cheap and I found one in gwags for 170k. It was a 180sx S13 1.8ltr turbocharged. both s13 and s14 use light i4 engines with huge power output due to force induction systems. For instant a 200sx produces 200hp from an 2.0ltr i4 which is good for hooning around, and burning rubber. My problem is these cars are rare in naija.
1. BMW e30. Respect your elders. Since 1983, this devil was a star. With so much love in the car community, tuning an e30 would not be difficult due to fact that there is so much forums and information about this car on the web, so much tutorial videos and how to, DIY and everything that can even make u mental about the e30. With so much variants to choose, I recommend the coupe 325i . its very cheap with 250k u can get yourself one. But be fast if u want a clean one. Because dark night motorsports and superbike Nigeria collects them and influenced it on our car guys. Every one now wants an e30. Prices will ramp up and I can bet it. Get one now. Its gonna be a bit difficult to get the coupe, then u might want to go for the sedan but still a 325i sedan |

Nice one op. Car tuning is a process that takes interest and passion to even comprehend so for those asking for a definition just google (car tuning) and enjoy the read. For those asking about cost, it depends on how far you want to go so it can cost from as little as N5000 to N100m. I personally like the feel and look of 'old' cars with upgraded engines and interiors, especially SUVs. Has anyone noticed how good the first generation G-wagons, and Land Cruisers look? Then imagine them wearing new rubber and upgraded interiors and exhaust systems..then add diesel engines to the mix and you have monsters that will go almost anywhere, especially where other cars just dream about For the record, i am a land rover man, and i feel the most rugged and beautiful land rover ever created is the land rover defender; it also remains the most 'pimpable' SUV (along with the jeep wrangler) on the planet! If you want to enjoy these SUVs, go diesel!
