How real is this? Talking of the images
Very true. Different tires have different speed ratings.

Yes, it can outrun a Honda accord on a free highway.
Make una no dey argue out of ignorance.
Do you even know what a v8 stands for or you are just arguing blindly?
While so sport cars carry such engine or higher if it doesn't matter?

BTW, can a Honda accord outrun a crosstour/bmwX6/porsche cayenne? Let's use something on similar level for comparison because the Lexus or Prado with V8 engine go dust am far far, na wetin I don experience first hand.
This is where ur lack of knowledge comes but I don't blame u. A lot of people think every v8 powered cars is faster than every v6. That's so wrong. I will stick to the Lexus gx470 for this comparison. What u don't know is that the weight of a car plus aerodynamics determine how fast they will be. 2009 Lexus gx470 is boxy and weighs over 1 tonne more than a 2009 Honda acdord V6. Bro that V6 is faster, just that it will do so at a higher rpm than the Lexus. Why do u think power bikes with smaller engines are faster than a lot of V6 cars with bigger engines? Because of their light weight.

2009 Honda Accord V6 specs
3.5L V6
271 HP
0-100km/hr in 6.9 seconds
Quarter mile in 15 seconds
0-200km/hr in 30.4 seconds

2009 Lexus gx470
4.7L V8
263 hp
0-100km/hr in 8.2 seconds
Quarter mile in 15.9 seconds
0-200km/hr in 58 seconds

U still think the V8 Lexus is faster than the V6 accord? Guy no be ever V8 fast past even some 4 plugs sef. The weight and aerodynamics plays a lot here. U also have 4o consider the fact that most SUVs are not built for for cornering at high speed. If u check the sun visor of many SUVs u will see the warning like the picture below.

A pity a lot of folks are quick to point out accusations without getting the point behind the topic. For the name calling, I forgive whoever thinks he has it all and for the shoes etc, that was the vukganizer after first technical university I gave paid to help change to the spare tyres. As a for the car, I got it when all my cars were down due to illness so I hardly even use it or so and for those talking about the expiry for the tyres, I really can't say much about that. A day before I left I still took it to the mechanic to ascertain the condition the inky thing he pointed out was the break pads in the driver side which I changed asap and few other stuffs. Either ways enjoy
The reason people attacked u was because of the way u put the blame on the Corolla as if it was the Corolla that caused the tire to blow out. A lot of things can cause a tire to blow out at high speed. Over inflated tire will blow out at high speed, u really need to get one of those portable tire guages, these useless road side vilcanizers are murderers, one of them once put 60psi on my tire when I was about going on a long journey. That's a tire that was supposed to be inflated to 32 at cold, he put 60, I had to double check and deflated it myself to the recommended pressure.

Another thing that can cause tire blow out is work our tire, bad roads, etc. One of these is the culprits, not the Corolla.

Bro, some are made for speed abeg, make una no dey argue wetin I don't know.

The makers consider speed when producing some of it.
I clearly said only a few select ones. U can't put a Lexus GX470 on the road and think it would outrun a Honda accord. v6 just because the Lexus is V8. That Lexus weighs a lot and its awkwardly tall, not good for aerodynamics and definitely not good for speed.

Like seriously?
Are you a car maker?
You're funny aswear. grin cheesy

Porsche Cayenne is made with what in mind?

Do you know alot of SUVs are actually faster than some sport cars? If that is the case, what do they have in mind when they are making them.

I don't want to be rude because you're constructive in your argument, I would have said you are dumb for making that assertion(or statement).

A quick check on it before you make that statement would have been proper.
Only select SUV's are made for speed. Most of them are not. They are just cruisers or to carry families, while some are just luxurious. Because of their height and higher ground clearance most of them are unsafe at taking corners at high speed.

...all UNSTABLE vehicles...SUV''s of any description are never for speed. Speed belongs to cars..
This is what many people don't know. They think Suv's are for speeds. SUV's generally have higher chances of rolling over when u lose control, this is why they are not meant for speed. Only a few select ones.

You're to be blamed.

There are certain cars you don't go above 120 with.

With cars like Toyota land cruiser Prado, Lexus GL series, MB GLK and co, that is just a sweet cruise on a highway.

Money good sha grin cheesy
A Toyota corolla sport will comfortably do 160km/hr, albeit at higher rpm but the car will do it comfortably. OP's car just had a worn out tire. I won't advice anyone to do beyond 120-130 on any Nigerian highway though.
Car TalkRe: My Tyre Got Ruined While Speeding On The Highway by abatically(m): 4:19pm On Sep 21, 2021
greatbrian:
Next time I will make sure I don't go above 100 with a corolla that's if there will be a next time with one.




And the breaking system is just so stupid and all. I wonder how corolla lovers cope
The problem is not the poor corolla, the problem is the tire. If u use this same expired tire on a Mercedes Benz E class this same thing would still have happened and might even become worse for u, because with more power comes more responsibilities, with the benz u would be tempted to go faster and tire busting at higher speed means higher risk.

Car TalkRe: Help!!! My Toyota Camry Was Stolen Where It Was Parked by abatically(m):
okoroemeka:
then be sure the factory security system has been deactivated in your car,they may change or work the ECU,instead of reprogram the key they will leave it like that,key security is a standard Honda security system on accords and Acuras(ones I know)since at least 2000 model upwards,that's why thief's don't steal Honda anyhow,but any ashawo key will enter and start Camry or corolla.there is a green key light on your Honda dashboard that will blink three times and off when you insert the programmed key then the vehicle will start,but if you insert the unprogrammed key it will continue to blink and will not stop and the vehicle can never start,if your system is not like this then something is wrong and tampered with.sticker on glass below is the mark of this unique security system,you will see it on almost all accord
Bros so far u have 1 honda key that can start the car, then u can clone as many keys as u like and all of them will start. Keyword here is u must have at least 1 key that can start the car handy. That is the key u will need to clone the rest. I've been using Honda/Acura since 2010 and I always have 2 keys that start the cars.

okoroemeka:
some trackers are #25k,even #20k tracker is available especially for Toyota cars ,I have used a 2000 Honda babyboy,2005 Acura RL and a 2007 Honda Accord,what this Hondas have in common is the key security, without the special coded key that syncs with the ECU you can never start the car,you can use the spare key to open doors,boot or even crank the engine but it will not start,if I park my Honda and put the keys in my pocket you can only use towing van to steal the car.
The spare key u have was only cut to open the doors and can also put the car in accessory mode, but doesn't have a chip that could be programmed to start the car. That doesn't mean u can't program a spare key that will start the car. Toyota on the other hand are notorious for making cars without transponders, u just cut the key and the car will start without need to program. The 1998-2001 camry is notorious for this while a Honda have been using transponder keys since 1998. In fact some 2003 camry still don't have transponder. They made is standard from 2005 models I think.

PoliticsRe: Interpol Arrested Sunday Igboho & His Wife Ropo In Benin Republic — Lawyer by abatically(m):
AroleOduduwa2:
I suspect that they apprehended him during the raid at his Ibadan resident, he was probably shot and badly injured. They didn’t deem him fit for parade that’s why they keep releasing different stories. Only God can help Nigerians, as it stands you can’t defend yourself let alone fight for your rights.
So his lawyer deliberately decided to lie that he was arrested in Benin Republic. Igboho even spoke after the raid in a telephone conversation that was allover the internet. This ur theory no just enter at all.

It is the same way people tried to spread the propaganda that MNK was killed when army raided his house until he showed up abroad. In fact if MNK had decided to go AWOL after that raid, it would probably have caused a serious unrest as the propaganda that he was killed would have gained more weight.
CrimeRe: How Soldiers Stormed Ladipo Market & Killed People - Eyewitness Narrates (Video) by abatically(m):
Calibrator:
No wonder it is said that if you don't listen to news, you are uniformed and if you do, you will be misinformed.


This is the real account of what happened from a first hand situation report.


A military personnel bought engine from one of the dealers and he tried returning it because according to him, it was defective, here is where the problem started, the dealer refused to change it because doing so will make the transaction turn to a loss on his part after accounting for the commission paid to baranda boys (middleman/market touts).

The Soldier told the dealer that the commission paid to any middleman is none of his concern and an argument which turned physical ensued. The dealers ganged up on him and assaulted him. The soldier went back to his base, returned with reinforcement and the rest is history.






Something has to be done about the unscrupulous business practices in that particular market no excusing the high handedness of the military in this issue.
This issue of using soldiers to harras people need to be checked. This doesn't have to be a tribalistic issue because it can happen to anyone. I hate it that whenever the igbos are the victim then there is always that propaganda of being marginalized. We have seen soldiers beat up other tribes too. They need to go back to the barracks and stop mettling in civil issues.

One thing about ladipo is once u buy something from there like an engine or a gearbox, it will be very difficult to return it without paying extra to get it replaced. What I can say about what happened here is the show of power from both sides, something that could have been settled amicably now ended up in bloodshed. Force does not solve anything.

I once bought an engine at ladipo way back in 2012. My mechanic didn't check the engine very well, he just checked the outside and we bought it. On getting to his shop, after taking out the spark plug he realized the inside of the engine was so bad, he opened the cylinder and lo and behold, the engine looked like something that was rotten. We didn't even bother mouting it. Next day we took it back and the seller delayed us for several hours. We showed him the evidence to look at the inside of the engine he sold to us but he refused to refund us. We reported to their task force and those ones too wasted our time. Later in the day he took us to a warehouse where they sell direct tokunbo engines that have not been tampered with in the end I got another engine but not without paying extra N60, 000. That engine he sold to me will still be sold to another person and that one too will come to return it and the cycle will continue.

Although some dealers are honest and more considerate. I remember buying a gearbox frok one young dealer, we mounted it and the gearbox didn't work well. I called him and the next day he sent a bike to bring another gearbox worhiut paying a dime. Only paid the bike man transportation fees.

Like say SA Army no get action compared to our own shot on sight Army here in Nigeria all this their madness for don stop, if na Yankee with all the pictures and videos involving the lootings, so many arrest would have been made, imagine this fool eating like a monkey and when a white calls you a monkey you flair up and call it racism whereas u behaving like one, so many traders went to borrow millions just to keep their business running, you can imagine the kind of agony such people will be now.Africa will not move forward if we don't put a stop to all this madness
You say what? Did u see what happened during blacklivesmatter protest? Search youtube u will see many videos of Americans looting different shops. Some even looted a car shop. lots of clothing scores. jewelry, etc were looted. Come and see how people were looting shoes . One guys watched from his home from his cctv how his entire shop was emptied and there was nothing he could do.. and that was in America. Now compare what will happen if it was in Africa.

The reality is just pray there is no breakdown of law and order because once there is then the security agencies can't do anything at least for the first 24 hours or so. This is applicable to any country. Once there are many crimes going on at different places at the same time especially as a result of a protest then the security of that nation will be frozen at least for some time before they could bring back law and order. This is why they have strict laws in some countries like China.
HealthRe: COVID-19 Third Wave, Delta Variant: States Run Out Of Vaccine by abatically(m): 10:15pm On Jul 12, 2021
onenaija001:
COVID is real, but the politics attached to it is too much. Nobody is investigating the origin of this virus, people don't know what to believe concerning the virus, and these people just want us to shut up and take the vaccine because insincere Media and Social Media Companies say so? The vaccine might be sincere but those entrusted with dishing out information to people cannot be trusted. By the way we in the north are dying every day, being kidnapped rampantly, a lot of people are angry with the govt and even lost hope and all they will be told is just to take an untrusted vaccine with even no assurance of being alive to see tomorrow?
Lol, who is even giving u vaccine in Nigeria? How many doses of vaccines dey Nigeria, I'm not sure what they have can even serve 1% of the population. 48% of Americans have been fully vaccinated, over 50% of England have been fully vaccinated, China have about 240 million of their citizens fully vaccinated, France 36%, Germany 42%, Italy 37%, Spain 44%. U say u no want vaccine, where u even see the vaccine sef?

Very soon these western countries will shut down their borders to countries who have not been vaccinated and I won't blame them They have been working very hard to get their citizens vaccinated, someone cannot just come from another country where the government and citizens are non challant and come and spoil their hard work. This is the same way many rejected the polio vaccine for newborns due to ignorance and there was a spike in crippled children especially from the North. Look around, how many crippled children do u see these days after many parents have embraced having their new borns vaccinated.

My brother that GOAT � debate can finally be put to rest jare. Haba, the only thing Ronaldo fans always go back to is that Messi has never won a major trophy for Argentina. Yes major trophy for the country is important but it's a collective trophy not individual. Ok now that Messi has 1, it has become very difficult for Ronaldo fans to try to argue who's the real goat. Just take a look.

Ronaldo has NEVER won best player in any international competions and he has played in 4 world cups and 5 European championships. Messi has played 4 world cups and 6 Copa America, won best player in world cup 2014 and best player in Copa America 2015 and 2021. Ronaldo won euros 2016 but greizmann won best player. He won Nations league but bernado was the best player. There is no argument who the real GOAT is here.

Adjusting the rpm manually does not solve any problems. RPM of modern cars are controlled by the ECU and should not be manually adjusted. Even if u adjust this rpm to 2,000 it still won't stop the vibration when Ac is turned on provide he has changed to manual compressor
