mayor2013:
This is a factory tint. I just reconfirmed you do not need any medical report to have the factory tint permit done. Nothing of such was ever stayed on their website as well. Perhaps ibadan is different but here in Lagos nothing of such
It’s the same in Ibadan. No medical clearance is required for a factory tint permit.

EgunMogaji:
So N5K for the medical clearance.

What about the actual permit itself, what is that cost?

Thanks.
The permit is meant to be given free of charge..but you can grease the palms of a couple of officers, in order to hasten its processing.
Car Talk › Re: Question On Tint Permit by Alvin007: 9:54pm On Aug 05, 2018
For non factory tints, a medical clearance has to be attached to the permit. I guess it’s to show that the owner of the car is suffering from some sort of sight(extreme light exposure)issues...hence, the need for the medical clearance. It’s just to justify one’s reason for attaching a tint to a non factory tinted glass.
I know someone at the Eleyele division that can help you out...it comes with a token too though..the last time I checked, she billed me a ‘token’ of 5k.

Cosplay:
Now, I have no problem with these threads acknowledging assistance rendered by members, but it's very important to be honest.

OP, this is also not an accusation, I'm merely seeking clarification. I could very well be wrong.

I happen to be familiar with the 2010 Toyota Corolla VIN 2T1BU4EE5AC328630.

The following are the facts about this vehicle:

1. This vehicle was put up for auction on iaai, bidding was on Wednesday, July 11, 2018.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/7469303_screenshot20180726092521chrome_jpegfb07cd6f30d570011fc287a26b494857

www.nairaland.com/attachments/7469304_screenshot20180726092611chrome_jpegc68581b351139b9e3511a99eaddbb78c

www.nairaland.com/attachments/7469305_2t1bu4ee5ac3286305_jpeg_jpeg401942bfd98e439f4b0ccc3474fe4b36

2. The date today is Wednesday July 26, 2018. , and you mentioned you inspected the vehicle at the dealer's lot.

So this vehicle was trucked or towed from Morganville, New Jersey, cleared US customs, shipped to Lagos, cleared Nigerian customs, underwent the repairs and repainting, and was put on a dealer's lot in Nigeria in 15 days?

Consider the following from multiple sources:




The OP has said he would provide pictures of the vehicle in the dealer's lot. That would further clarify the issue.

Please include a picture of the VIN sticker showing the VIN clearly on the vehicle, as you did for these auction pictures. That would indeed settle the matter.

I'm sure many members would be willing to pay for a service that can get a vehicle from US auction to a dealers lot in Nigeria, with repairs and repainting in 2 weeks.

3. Further, as Deltel shrewdly observed, the OP posted photos of 2 different vehicles. One is a black 2010 corolla, the black vehicle he posted pictures of initially.

The second vehicle is a Silver 2009 Toyota Corolla. Note the second set of images OP posted. One of them is from the Silver 2009 Corolla VIN 2T1BU40E99C017754 in the picture below.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/7472260_20180726201055_jpegb422b2b6c2579b4aeaa30af16db7c704

OP needs to clarify which Toyota Corolla he discussed with computerglobal, the 2009 Black or the 2010 Silver.

OP has said computerglobal sent him the report with pictures, the second set of images he posted do not seem like images sent to him, they seem like images accessed locally on his device.

As far as I know, computerglobal sends his reports in PDF format. They could be screenshots sent to him, but OP mentioned the report was sent early today. The last 2 images have 2 different timestamps.

One was saved around 10:19 am, and the other around 6:26 pm.

There are a lot of issues with this account of OP's interaction with oga computerglobal.

However this may all be a mix up.

Any clarification about the issues above would be highly welcome.

We will be waiting.
Wtf!

You’re right.. it looks like the front grille of a couple of Bentleys. i.e Continental and Mulsanne...and also a Chrysler 300c’s.
But, it’s got the 2011 Toyota Landcruiser’s headlights.

the exhaust sensor also control the fuel intake in the engine?
Yes it does...it’s called the oxygen sensor, or o2 sensor..it helps in determining the LONG and SHORT fuel trim on a 14:7:1 ratio.

AutoReportNG:
Several questions peep into one’s mind when suddenly the car’s fuel economy turns bad. For instance, what’s the source of the problem? Is it the driving method, engine oil, or vehicle’s component, that’s causing bad fuel economy?

To know the exact reasons, here we’ve caught the candidates of Car’s Component, which are highly responsible for affecting the vehicle’s mileage.

Important Car Parts for Fuel Economy

After spending a hefty amount of money on fuel daily, if you’re now looking for certain ways to save those bucks, try swapping the worn parts. Or else, pitch into few essential maintenance tips of car parts to boost the mileage.

1. Oxygen Sensor

[img]https://2.bp..com/-NKwJCdbMIu4/WzLdXWcqamI/AAAAAAAASuM/C_3KjH5vf-MWDdg5XSq-UdirSPkk1F1JACLcBGAs/s1600/oxygen%2Bsensor.jpg[/img]

All the cars manufactured after 1995 have this component mounted in the exhaust system. Calculating the exhaust flow before and after the catalytic converter, the component sends the information to the car computer (adjusting the fuel injection based on the data).

However, if this car component that affects gas mileage is not working properly, the transmission of inaccurate data will directly affect the gas mileage.

2. Mass Airflow Sensor

[img]https://1.bp..com/-cUwUe8FC7fs/WzLdGcjTU1I/AAAAAAAASuE/ca2FnsVli50i-VsuX6CRSbmcznl9yjo9ACLcBGAs/s1600/mass%2Bair%2Bflow.jpg[/img]

The most critical component contributing to fuel efficiency is MAF. Measuring the amount of fuel entering the engine, the Mass Airflow Sensor transmits the calculated data to the vehicle’s computer.

Here, if the bad MAF throws the outbalance calculation; it typically affects the fuel injection, resulting in bad fuel economy. Therefore, scanning the computer codes is what can help you in determining the condition of the MAF.

3. Air Filter

[img]https://4.bp..com/-JrlZWYkJaZQ/WzLc9ZXCMLI/AAAAAAAASuA/3kbMvwXPjakUWFL7w091ZUUDNyXgcTLoQCLcBGAs/s1600/Air%2BFilter.JPG[/img]

The name “air filter” itself describes the functioning of the component. And in case, the air passes through the dirty filters continuously, this calls for the reduction in gas mileage (especially in old cars). Therefore, replacing the air filters timely is an easy, quick, and wise thing to do.

4. Spark Plug

[img]https://4.bp..com/-AXZ1Myi4ZdY/WzLc0w7JnhI/AAAAAAAASt4/i-sKV-swXEACQFFtcEpUioquaTJh4RgAQCLcBGAs/s1600/Spark%2BPlug.jpg[/img]

The new or clean spark plugs ignite the air/fuel mixture in the engine’s combustion chamber. However, during high fuel consumption, oil spilling over these plugs cause a misfire.

Besides this, when the car vibrates and struggles to accelerate, it clearly points towards the bad mileage. Now, there’re two reasons of the awful fuel economy; either the Worn out Ignition Coil or, the dead spark plug. And, usually, it’s the bad ignition coil, resulting from the engine’s heat.

5. Tires

[img]https://1.bp..com/-wLFVGPK6DiY/WzLctB5cdvI/AAAAAAAASt0/jmk6qXL1qPErbriUZj4xkwZMmZsgrowBACLcBGAs/s1600/Tires.png[/img]

Fuel efficiency and car’s handling are directly affected by underinflate, non-aligned, or worn-out tires. Responsible for maintaining friction between the vehicle and the road surface, their timely inflation, pressure and alignment checking is a must!

Finally, apart from maintaining these vehicle’s component, one can increase the fuel economy even by following certain driving tips like gradual acceleration and light braking.

@nurey...according to cosplay ‘s report...it’s a 3.0 v6 Mazda 6. The driver was on top speed, lost control, somersaulted and landed right on top of the hood of the Ford Expedition..thereby killing the driver and the passenger of the SUV...all according to eye witnesses.
