Car Talk / Re: Its A Murano A Good Choice Than Honda Element? by billy187(m): 9:11am On Jul 09, 2015
600000 for a murano? it might just be the deal of the century- either for you or the owner grin. An INTENSIVE test will not be out of place.

Car Talk / Re: Top 10 Least Expensive Sedans (Pictures) by billy187(m): 9:08am On Jul 06, 2015
Siena:
Bro, your thread title states Sedans, yet most of your listed cars are Hatchbacks.

Ford Focus.
Hyundai Elantra.
Mazda 3.
Nissan Sentra.
Kia Forte.
Subaru Imprezza.

Though not reflected in the pictures; I think the most; if not all the cars mentioned here do have sedan variants.

Let's see how well you know your classics too.

Which vehicle is this?

Any note on its history?

Totally know this one! I've got a soft spot for cars of this era...especially those with some racing pedigree. I'll try not to blurt it out though wink

The new Hyundai sonata is pretty hot
It looks better than the accord by far
Especially the Turbo charged sport edition

I prefer it to the accord

I could'nt agree more!! the Accord looks just....meh compared to the Sonata!

That's a 60s-ish cadillac eldorado!-me thinks. The car's pretty darn huge- parked my '99 Suburban next to one a while ago and my 'Burb was the shorter one! :O .

I wonder what the toyota 'big for nothing' haters will say when they see this one!

So looking at the engine manifold and coil you can't tell if its a 6 or 4?
I'm sure you can't tell if its FWD or RWD.

My bad. I didn't notice the V6 engine in there. Must have been the 2" phone I was using.

I have no idea of the driven wheels though. ; D Thought a donkey pulled it or something grin grin

Crime / Re: Man Jailed For Threatening, Injuring Dog At Dutse by billy187(m): 1:33pm On Jun 23, 2015
Lots of you here fail to see the point. The dog was the property of someone -paid for. Imagine: if you slash the tires of my car and take a dump in the back seat do you think I'd let you go scot free?

Besides, you'd have to be a special kind of retarded to torture animals for craps and giggles.

Car Talk / Re: Pls Car Gurus Advice If My Fuel Economy Is Ok Or Not by billy187(m): 10:40am On Jun 22, 2015
Op, you might wanna do something about that lean fuel issue popping up. My Chevy Suburban got roughly 15mpg mixed...I have even calculated 20mpg at times- and that truck had a 5.7l V8! The only times I got a mpg in the 10s or single digits were when I had a 30 foot + Airstream trailer in tow.

But then, your low mpg could be other factors such as driving habit ( I'm really stingy on the gas pedal).

I'd advise you do look into it asap though-that 6mpg penalty will add up...quickly.
Car Talk / Re: Why Do We Use Klin/omo Detergent To Wash Cars In Nigeria? by billy187(m): 6:51am On Jun 19, 2015
Most detergents like OMO...etc are pretty harsh on the car's paint. I have since been using plain water to wipe mine up for 3 years and i still see my scary face peering back at me through the bodywork! grin

Car Talk / Re: Factory. Tints For Cars. by billy187(m): 8:14am On Jun 18, 2015
Denn:
Factory tint? A tint made in a factory? Simple.

Get any tint guy and drive him to any abandoned factory complex. Any tint done there is a factory tint.

But seriously, our legal system that advocates for a factory tint does not have any facility to confirm if it was done as a 'follow come' or not.

Get the tint done and apply for the permit.

This is a 'factory tinted' benz

That's a fine mercedes there! Yours?

Car Talk / Re: Why Is This Car Called 'Big For Nothing'? by billy187(m): 3:40pm On Jun 14, 2015
I think Nigerians had been used to being crammed into tiny little econosedans for so long- so when the 2003 camry came along with its extra space, everyone screamed 'Blasphemy!' The slab sided profile + plain Jane looks didnt help matters either.

I wonder what will happen when people start importing the Lincoln Town Car

benzmatic:
wow, would really love to see a 16v 190e in pristine condition. That would be an experience, those cars sell for about 8000 pounds on the average now, if they are low mileage. I believe they a truly special cars, even with today's tech advancement, you would hardly get a 4 cylinder car pushing on 200hp, with a sub 8s 100km time. and yet it was not a turbo charged engine, and it did not have a supercharger like the kompressors. Cosworth really knew what they were about.
I actually bought a 16v here in Nigeria, that was imported by the original owner from Germany. however it had been raped when I got it, those that handled the sale didn't even know about the getrag gear with the lower left 1st gear. Still it could humiliate many fancy new model sedans on the highway. It was however using a lot of oil, and fuel economy was also high. I had to scrap the engine after it got permanently damaged by our guys here during a rebuild. Still, if I see a clean 16v engine, I would snap it up quickly, and place it back in the lonely chasis of the 16v. helluva car, that car. Not like some famous Japanese sport badged sedan, only with sports body kit, making less than 140hp, comedians.

You actually drove one? I salute u sa! I hope you still have the car? pics please! smiley

Darn, I wish I was in Nigeria! would have totally brought my Focus to have its fan's direct wiring fixed up+ that hideous dent on my front fender. The mechs around here seem to have no idea how to do it-always keep on saying I need a temp sensor...something I know the car already has.

Car Talk / Re: What Type Of Battery Should I Go For? by billy187(m): 3:31pm On Jun 05, 2015
cretin:


IF U HVNT BOUGHT ALREADY THEN GOOD .

GO ONLINE, CHECK THE CCA RATING OF THE STANDARD/FOLO COME BATTERY FOR UR CAR...THEN WHEN U go market,, ensure the cca of the batt u r buying is at least upto the cca of the factory battery, gobe are the days when people buy batts based on only 12v 70amp/60amp etc......

cca and rca na the baba
cca = cold cranking amperes...ensure this is above 550, guessing judging by ur car size, xcheck to confirm
rca = reserve capacity amps ...ensure this is above 125mins

Thanks so much for this timely info!! I meant to buy the battery yesterday but fortunately heavy rains have kept me pretty much indoors-will surely use this. God bless you!
