You begin to destroy your engine.

Engine sludge comes in

High fuel consumption

This is good.

In one sentence: leave the vehicle as its creators made it!

Or better still buy a car whose specifications meet your needs.

My brother some times situation necessitates that u customize ur car for efficiency, it's just like u buy a brand new wheel barrow and expect it to function as expected, I tell u d wheel barrow won't last a week at maximum exposure to work, hence u will need to chande to an inflatable motor cycle tyre,weld metal bars to strengthen the frame of the barrow, install a "Borris" to allow the wheel run smoothly, I support customisation to fit ur needs

1.Changing vehicle from Manual Transmission to Automatic or vice versa.

2. Switching the steering position from right to left (the vehicle will never get itself no matter what)

Op you no been watch " love-vendor my ride"? Them been dey do all the above mentioned and I been no see anybody wet complain. Musibau my mechanic dey always remove/ disconnect parts for my car a keeps saying " oga e no dy work anything, oyibo wet put am na mumu". The motto still dey move till today.

My car tyres are originally 205/55 R16. But I fitted 215/55 R16. Is dis difference significant enough to deny me enjoying the operatio of the car optimally?

Thank you for the nice write up. I almost fall victim of changing my tyre rim. May God continue save us from these mechanics.

Can I use water only instead of coolant? Since we can't have freezing conditon in this part of the world and I think coolant = water + antifreeze

of course only water and a working radiator fan will do the job.

There's nothing a manufacturer will put in a car that isn't for a function.Otherwise it would save car manufacturers millions of dollars not to put it in the first place. So every thing down to ordinary pins have functions.

You only listed the advantages, Think also of its disadvantages too Which the manufacturer has left to the least possibility of it causing an accident. Don't compare industrial tool with a mechanical tool.

Put the two bigger tires at the back,it gives the car better balance for speed,but pls ensure your brakes are really good.

[quote author=morningsta post=51045621][/quote]No its not ok.let them replace with factory spec which is automatic.
