Agborachi222:
Good day my bosses,
As a young guy that needs a daily driver,
I reside in Abuja & Ill commute to work every day of the week.
The roads here are not bad
which of these cars would you go for considering Fuel efficiency, part availability and reliability
2010 Honda crv or 2010 Toyota camry?
Please help me with your reasons

2010 camry will be more fuel efficient, parts are available for both, both are reliable. Cheers.

I am an Honda and a SUV guy, so I will go with the HOnda, so weigh your option carefully , do you prefer SUV of sedan or better still test drive both cars and see which you connect with the most during the test drive, cheers

but why now, this is one of the business young people can venture into with little constraints,

if he is really unhappy about the goal, he should tell them to not count it

THE STORY OF BETTY
...
Betty is my 2005 Honda Accord 4cyl.
I got her Nigerian used last year. When I got her, she was like a malnourished and physically abused woman.
-Her engine was smoking heavily and the old user deceived me by using very thick oil in addition to that evil thing called "stop smoking".
-There were crazy electrical abuse like the engine could start no matter where the gear stick is.
-The transmission was misbehaving mostly in cold mornings.
-Of course, the cat was way gone, but then some evil human decided to cut the wires of the 2 O2 sensors for reasons I still don't understand.
-Fuel economy was flushed down in the toilet.
-All steering buttons were not working, but somehow the horn was working.
-AC was working but not very powerful.
-SRS and Seatbelt light on the dashboard were on.
-Power steering was whining.
...
With all these problems, the question now is why did I keep this car?
1. The price was good
2. This car was still good, first body and all. Engine looked neat. Abs was working fine. AC was working, though not optimal. So I told myself that the worst that could happen is a new engine and trans.
3. I wanted the challenge cos I love solving car problems.
...
So, first thing I did was to change engine oil and filter with 5w30. Omo! My car became a smoke machine. I had to add the "stop smoking" to avoid the embarrassment while I thought of what to do.

I decided to try restoring the engine since it doesn't look bad from outside. When the engine was opened, the mechanic was amazed that the engine was completely in shape inside. The cylinder lining was perfect. Crank shaft, metals, pistons, all were in good shape. The top was also intact. The only thing that needed work was the rings. In two days, the engine was back together and running with 5w30 oil and no single smoke.
Then came the VTEC problem which was solved by replacing the filter screen in the VTEC solenoid.
Then came the VTC problem and that persky p0011 that dealt with me. After replacing VTC solenoid twice, the problem went away.
Then the transmission. After replacing the ATF twice without much improvement, I decided to rebuild it. Why would I throw something away without first trying to fix it? That is not me. Call me cheap, I don't care. After putting the tranny back in the car and filling with oil, first start, tranny no gree shift. Second start, car no gree enter drive. I was already sweating from my nyash. Infact, almost the whole day, tranny was severely acting up. But by some magic, after several tests, tranny started behaving. Now, 3mths later, tranny is still as smooth as butter. Victory!
Power steering pump was replaced with a tokunbo part and steering became smooth with absolutely no whine or vibration when turning.

About the electrical abuse, there was a strange wire running from the under dash fuse box all the way to the starter in the engine. I knew that wire was not put there by Honda, so I tore it out. As expected, car was no longer able to start. But I noticed the car will start occasionally after pressing the brake pedal randomly. So I looked at the brake pedal and noticed that the small plastic that presses on the brake switch was missing and a piece of paper was in place. It was pressing the switch enough to turn off the brake light but not enough to allow the car start. I removed the paper and constructed a good plastic in its place and care has started every single time since then.
- As for the cats, I had to change both O2 sensors. I didn't replace the cat. I simply bypassed it and removed the cat error code for good.
- So the steering wheel buttons. I told my electrician to bring out the steering flex reel and of course one of the two flex reel inside is completely cut. Someone diverted the horn signal through one of the intact cables. Once again, I decided to go the cheap route. I decided to solder the broken cables together. I didn't think this would work. My electrician told me I was wasting my time. But I gave him back the cable reel to install and 5mth later, all steering wheel buttons are still working.
- AC just needed gas and is still going 5mths later
-SRS and Seatbelt light was due to the driver's seatbelt buckle that was spoilt. Just changed it and all light went off.
Car is 100% functional now
FUEL CONSUMPTION:
I filled my tank up and recet my trip counter. When the fuel light came on, I had 382mils on the trip counter. Car continued till 410miles when I decided to go buy fuel (car didn't stop, meaning it still had fuel). I filled it up with 57litres (14.98gal). After calculations, I got 27mpg of pure city driving. That is veeery good for a rebuilt engine. Very few cars here can boast of this mileage.
...
So next I want to change the side mirrors to txs side mirrors with signal light and if money enter, I'll upgrade the wheels, upgrade the bumper to DC bumper, and give it a good paint job.

I'M PROUD OF BETTY.

you try oh, you mean you did all thesr despite not being a gazzuzz, never knew normal people could achieve this level of skills.

well done boss.

by the way how much did it cost ringing the engine. I once called one of the expert car repair guru here, the price they give me go make you first think about your life. please help me boss

I have this Phi.lips 43" Ultra Smart 4k TV with suspected defective power system.

History: TV was bought from Drick.store last November. Power died while we were gaming with it in January. It just doesn't come on anymore. I don't have the time or even know a competent person who can fix it, so I am selling it off as-is.



Screen is still perfect and TV is crystal clear, with excellent filtered sound. Sadly, I don't have a picture of when it was working. It has energy saving feature, so it is easy on inverters

Price: 60,000. Will come with the original remote and wall hanger. It should come with the TV feet, but I will have to find it, so I am not guaranteeing that accessory until I see it

I will be coming into Lagos within the week, so I can bring it to a location near you if you are on my route, at no extra cost to you.

Below are the specifications of the TV culled from Drick.store's page at the time.

Is there a reason you recommended the V6 version?

the quickness can induced orgasm sir

codemaster2much:
Pamper yourself a little, get a Lexus RX350 2013

Apologies just saw that you mention a budget of 6m, hmmm that is a tight one in today's market. Hmmm, tHE 2013 accord isn't a bad choice, Nigeria used, do the v6. Cheers and all the best.

williams20:
Hi Auto gurus , this is a great thread

I need an upgrade , tho I sometimes drive on bad roads but I mostly drive on fairly good roads. I am considering the accord 2013 but at the same time I'm worried about ground clearance. Please recommend any good upgrade not more than 6m. Use a Pilot 07 and civic 07 at the moment

Pamper yourself a little, get a Lexus RX350 2013

Funny, statistics also show that most financially prudent or budget conscious American car buyer in America will choose a Japmobile like Hondas and Toyotas over a Ford product

The original is about 4k while the other one is 2k in traffic here in lagos

Please what is the manufacturer name for the original wiper you are referring to?

RichIgboBoy:
hello, I’m about buying the Honda evil spirit, I’m an engineer and I travel from lagos to Ibadan frequently as well. what do you think?

my advise, the Honda accord evil spirit is a very very very rugged car, you wouldnt regret it if you choose it over the toyota. If you compare the i4 variant of both, the accord engine is far superior, it doesnt suffer from excessive oil burn that can potentially damage your engine and lead to expensive repair if not spotted spotted on time, some can need up to 1liter a week or less to top up. With the accord, the transmission is also more rugged and easier to find a replacement when needed. for the camry you will have to figure out or look for a suitable 13pins or whatever pin they call it, and the chances of being sold the wrong pin transmission types is possible, so you got to shine your eyes. The Honda engine and gear are cheaper to replace. The drive performance of the Honda is far far better.

But if you are deciding between the 6 cylinder variant, then I will pick the Camry. Homeboy was probably engineered by a god, and it is literally indestructible.

hmmmm

you didnt include your phone number sir

there must be the poor for there to be the rich, very core principle of how the world was design. even choice can not spare fate

Good evening house.

Does 2005 Toyota Camry consume fuel?

If you have an experience, please kindly drop your answer

yes it consume fuel, since that is what it runs on. but if you meant consume too much fuel, I don't think so, it fuel consumption are within toyota estimation or not too far off. you should be able to get about 27 to 32mpg on highway drive.

Crazy

I used to have a similar perspective until I bought my car. The convenience it brings, especially for families with children, outweighs the extra expenses. The key is to invest in a reliable car, like Hondas or Toyotas. For maintenance, budget around 25k for oil changes (using Mobil 2000 semi-synthetic) every 4 months, 40k for gear oil changes every 3 years, 3k for windshield wiper blade replacements annually, 50k for new tires (approximately 13k each) every 2 years, 10k for coolant replacement every 3 years (using Total Cooltech Coolant), and 15k for brake pad replacements every 2 years. You can save money by washing the car yourself. Surprisingly, with proper planning, these expenses can be managed without significantly impacting your standard of living after purchasing the car.
