Use a star scanner to remove the 210km electronic limiter. That way you can drive to 250km. I noticed your RPM was above 4000 @ 210kmh that means your car probably is not a 7 speed gear box or some issue not making it shift. With my car at cruising speed ( not accelerating) the rpm is less than 2800 at close to 250kph. No engine noise no vibration I call it no "drama"
I just watched your video. Even below 190km/hr, you were already at 3500rpm.
Yet you claim your car cruises at 250km/hr at less than 2800rpm.
Bugatti will struggle to make such a claim.

The pix and video I have is 200kmph on Gombe Bauchi road in 2016, the video is 6 mins but I don't know how to upload. The Gombe road was bad at the time besides the car had an airflow meter problem reducing the acceleration of the car. I fixed the airflow meter issue with a new spare from the US. I have many such videos but can't find them at the moment. At 250kph the only thing you notice is the pointer at 250km no vibration nothing. The markings on the road will be fast and if your using GPS Ulysses speedometer that may be showing 245kmph. If you travel say from Jigawa to Potiskum or Potiskum to Bauchi with the car you could be at top speed for 10mins at a stretch and a trip of 2 hours could be as short as 40mins or less. Besides on a very long trip like Adamawa to Lagos instead of sleeping on the road you can be in Lagos by 8 pm the same day if you left Yola at 5 am. I don't face oncoming cars and trailers or overtake in bends I only drive excessively fast and that is my major motivation for buying large displacement engines.
I saw the speed but I didn't see the rpm. We needed the video to confirm your claim of 2kish rpm at 250km. It's not all about engine displacement, it's also about gearing.

I think @ this point it is pertinent to pen my opinion here...

I do have a different opinion contrary to those against nyiamfrank.

At first I was very upset by his write-ups but following carefully I began to have a different spot.

He is not completely on the side of d MIB n I do not strongly believe he's one.....

His point is clear: and I might be very wrong on this: all officers present at d point plus right in d station couldnt have been that cruel.....(slide)


We sometimes do all face these unjust acts frm dz MIB but we buy our way out in every possible means we can.

He isn't the only driver that plied that route, something must have triggered the bitterness of d MIB to act unjustly.....

All the same thank God he's out of d mess.

Pls I am subjected to corrections n no insults ...
Sirleke, so we should pay our way out?
Seriously?
So a policeman frames a citizen for an "offence" that he cannot defend in competent court and the citizen should "settle"?

So it is OPs fault that FRSC and Lagos State DMVA or whatever failed to integrate their database?

Whatdefvck is wrong with the people in this country?

Clamouring for armless frsc officers to do that job because you can capitalize on their armless situation to molest them. police will not take it. the arm is not for fun, it's for criminals, some who threaten police lives.

frsc calling for police assistance to arrest that culprit, so that before police would even get to the scene, that officer is already in the valley with an unascertainable state of health!

reason like a human being for once.

ZEBRA CROSSING MEANS YOU CAN WALK WHILE CROSSING THE ROAD. GO AND WALK PASS NIGERIAN ROADS!
There are a million ways FRSC can address a violent offender without the use of firearms.

All drivers licenses have numbers. The numbers can be noted. A hold placed on the license. A bulletin issued against the person. This can be used to the police to effect his arrest.

Agencies call for support for one another.

A court bailiff does not go to effect a court judgement with guns.

However, if you obstruct him, he calls in the police.

Local council workers who go to seal properties do not go with guns. It's not a criminal offense not to pay levies. It's a civil offense. However if they are challenged in the course of their duty and the property owners become belligerent, they call for support from the police.

It is that simple you dimwit.

FRSC offences are civil offences. They do not need guns to perform their duties.

Has the Nigerian police not shed enough blood already?

Fvck off already.

Bros, you should have taken these motherfuckers to court and sued them for every last dime they have on them.
This is the only way to right the wrongs in this country. The only way to checkmate these idiots called the Nigerian police force.
You scored 50%, but you could have scored 100% by suing them for all they have.

Where is that efulefu that was asking rubbish questions and demanding that guns be given to FRSC.

Mumu, that offender can be prosecuted for assaulting a government official.

By your stupid reasoning, task force personnel, firs, environmental officials etc should be armed to deal with offenders. Hell,we should all be armed to deal with other people who harass or infringe on our rights.

Grow a brain.

FRSC can call the police to arrest such violent offenders.

Like I said, grow a brain.

Follow the argument before you comment. Don't jump in like an idiot. How are stolen vehicles being recovered if the police are refrained from authenticating vehicle ownership?
Don't reply like a nincompoop. I have no business with the previous dribbles you posted.
I ask a simple question. Why do the FRSC need guns?

What section in their act requires them to carry guns to enforce?

It's a simple question. You shouldn't find it too hard to comprehend. If it's too hard, then you shouldn't be here.

Hi, I have a budget of 2.8 - 3m and really interested in gs300 or is250 but I can't seem to find a "good" car, the ones I am seeing are accidented/salvage ( after Vin check) Do you have any recommendations where I can find a clean title gs300 or is250? Thanks
If you want non accidented and non salvaged, up your budget. You can't eat your cake and have it.
You may be able to get a high mileage 2006 is250 with your budget.

Or better still get a fair mileage clean title lexus es330 with that budget.

Thank you so much.

It is actually the second generation.
Okay. Same car here. 2 years and 4 months ownership. Solid ride so far.
Gazzuzz may be able to rebuild (if he has joined team rebuild). He can definitely source a good replacement for you if you chose to replace.
All the best.

Thanks a lot.

I had hoped I wouldn't need to rebuild or replace the engine though, but in any case I will bring it over to you when I get back so you can inspect it physically.

Please, for my information, how much would it cost to replace the engine to a grade 1 tokunboh engine (complete with gearbox and without)?

I guess you would have to advise the best cause when I get it to you in Lagos.

Thanks a lot.

Modified: Could you recommend a mineral oil to use?

Thanks again.
Sorry about your issues with your mdx. Is the 07 mdx the first generation or the second generation?
The low oil light that comes up is usually as a result of the oil level sensor which fails prematurely on the second gen. There was a tsb to fix this. Sometimes just replacing the sensor fixes this issue.

Your engine sadly is on its last legs.
Like Gazzuzz said, switch to a thicker oil 10w40 or 20w50. You can buy any of the known brands such as castrol, total, Mobil, etc. Buy from a filling station or a reputable shop.

Check your oil level regularly and have spare oil.

Your kick starter is failing, however also check the wires to and from the kick starter. Look for oxidized or frayed wires and replace them.

Your vehicle may be failing to start when hot due to compression issues.

Toks engine on that car is not that expensive. Last I asked, I was told 280k.

When you rebuild engine, stick to 5w30 synthetic from a known brand (5w30 offer better engine protection but sacrifices fuel economy).

The engine is a high compression engine, mineral oils do work but better stay with the synthetic oils.

Check the grounding wires for the kickstarter. Check the termination point and the wire itself. Check the relays as well.

Anyone who knows Formula 1 knows that it's 80% the driver, not the car.

Hamilton is just such a great driver. Look how Vettel messed up with Ferrari since 2014.

Still! Mercedes is absolutely dominating.
I was about to say the same thing.
Give the same car to Bottas and mercedes won't smell the title. Hamilton and mercedes make a great team but take hamilton out and mercedes will struggle.
But as usual, some weyrey people will be here masturbate on something they understand little about.

Le mans is the ultimate race about engineering, speed and reliability. Mercedes should dominate that and come back.

SportsRe: Are Non-african Professional Footballers Really Innocent Of Age Fraud? by 9icetoo(m): 3:28pm On Dec 16, 2020
Tripitaka:
Every weekend i watch the EPL, i keep pondering on this. Are European footballers really innocent of Age Fraud as the media will like us to believe? Is age fraud really just an African or South American thing?

I just read where Lampard was blaming fatigue for his players inability to perform in the defeat against Wolves and I couldn't help but wonder where the fatigue stemmed from exactly. They last played on Saturday against Everton which gives them 3 solid days to rest, yet these guys say they are fatigued? How?

Football is played for 90mins split into two halves of 45mins with a 15min break between halves. Yet, they talk about fatigue? Mind you, they do not run marathons on the pitch, for the most part, they jog around, sometimes walk, they only move at full speed when going on counters or trying to stop one. So how cant these guys perform optimally twice in a week?

For context, I have a cousin who is a football freak. At 33, he plays on Friday evenings and Sunday mornings every week. But never says he is too tired to play the next week. How then can a professional footballer who has access to world class training grounds, clinically designed pitches, personalized training routine, top psychologists, top nutritionists and dietitians, top sporting gears that have been designed to bring the best out of them tell me he is too tired too play, unless his biological clock is ticking.

The local street footballers even play everyday on tattered boots, terrible ground with zero protection. Most of them do menial jobs, eat carbohydrate laden foods 80% of the time, have no rest, yet can play for 2hrs everyday.

How can a footballer retire at 33 to 35 saying he can't play a 90mins game anymore for once a week? I really can't wrap my head around this. Personally, I believe most of them may not be as young as they will like us to believe.
I'm not a professional footballer but let me she'd some light.
1. European footballers mostly do not cheat on their age. Everything about them is in the system. Over there, it is very difficult to cheat the system. Integrity is valued.
2. A professional footballer trains hard between games. So between Saturday games and Tuesday games, he trains on Sunday and Monday. The trainings are intensive. It involves lots of drills and tactic sessions. That your cousin will faint during these sessions alone not to talk of actual match.
3. Your cousin plays with amateurs who are not as intense as professionals. It may look easy to you when you see footballers shuffling around on the pitch and breaking into a sprint every now and again. Trust me, the day your cousin shares a pitch with these professionals, he will beg to be substituted after thirty minutes. He won't keep up.
His fitness levels won't be up to scratch.
4. As you age, the density of your fast twitch muscle fibers reduce and they reduce quite significantly as you go over 30years.
This affects some people more than others.
This is the reason you don't see thirty something year old champion sprinters in athletics, swimming and all other sports that require major use of the fast twitching muscle fibers.
Ronaldo has gotten slower. Messi is slower.
5. When these players have slowed down significantly and can't keep up with their mates, they retire.
6. After weeks and months of playing too many games, fatigue sets in. It's natural. The human body is a complex machine. You can't cheat nature.
