Felicity001:Steering Risk Conversion Steering Risk - Steering can disengage during motion, lose control, and cause an accident, and that conversion is never 100% successful. Reduced Component Strength - Loads applied in an emergency, e.g., panic stop or loss of power assistance to steering can be very high. Therefore, a car component remodified and did not retain its original design's strength may operate unsatisfactorily under everyday driving loads. However, under high loads, it may fail catastrophically. Susceptibility to Fatigue Failure - Poor conversion design can lead to fatigue failure of the steering component, which is performed satisfactorily for a series of days or time after modification. Car manufacturers invest a lot of time and money in producing components through design, material selection, manufacturing controls, and endurance testing, using manufacturing techniques that are not readily adaptable to low volume modification procedures. The question, is your car conversion tested afterward? Think again! Reduced Primary Safety - Modifications to steering can radically alter a vehicle's handling by introducing undesirable traits such as increased bump steer and poor self-centering. Alterations to braking components can reduce the system's braking effectiveness.

Felicity001:Dangers Converting A Right-hand Car To A Left-hand Car Poses With this case scenario, let us highlight the dangers of converting a vehicle from RHD to LHD. A client who shipped an RHD Mercedes C230 Kompressor (2004 Coupe model) to Nigeria needed a convert to the LHD system again. An auto mechanic he consulted gave an assurance of a good conversion in two days. After two days, he retrieved his newly converted car. With all gladness, he paid for the service and took his car home. However, the following day while driving, he noticed a funny smell, dashboard lights will not go out, and the car doors locked and unlocked sequentially. After much drag with the previous auto mechanic, he took the car to a Mercedes Benz repair center to save his car. They plugged into the OBD-II (onboard diagnostic) diagnostic port, but no communication with the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and other electronic modules. Possible Errors That Could Be Identified As A Result Of The Conversion: The entire wiring behind the dashboard, the main central distribution source for the fuse box and relay plate, was completely melted and burnt out. In addition, all wiring was riddled with electric tape and crude joints during the conversion process. The complete air-conditioning system was destroyed. **** you already converted ur a/c compressor from Automatic to Manual ****** And mostly conversion cars very hard to sell .. You bought cheap and you will be lucky to sell it .. Keep in mind I import cars too I bought a tokunbo Benz from the USA and it took me months to sell .... It is very hard to sell those types of cars now .... Now imagine trying to sell a converted Benz........ Yes you are a Nigeria.. Just because you are a Nigerian does not mean that you have to be ignorant and put your life at risk........ Conclusion.... Apart from putting your life at risk because of a conversion car e.g. the steering rack conversion is usually welded and not done right. You are putting your life and also loves ones at risk. Conversion cars are much harder or nearly impossible to sell .... If na truck you can easily sell it.

Slickleo:See wetin meja don cause for here.. All he wanted to do is say a little prayer to manual drivers out there ![]() |
Felicity001:Well I don't know why you bought the Benz. The same Benz that was converted from Right hand to now left hand drive . The same Benz that an adulterated freon was used to damage the compressor , when clearly states on the car manual to use 134A freon . Now you are now converting Automatic compressor to manual compressor .. And to save yourself stress and headache .. All you had to do is go to Innonson Motors. The man would given you the Skeleton shape of the car with engine of your choice . since you are an engineer, you can mix match and configure the car to your taste with different parts.. You can even buy Toyota parts , Honda parts, 505 , mix it together join it and built your own very own car instead of wasting money up and down doing a rebuilt on a car that his already built... You could have added you own car logo at the front bumper ![]()

johnwell:Those V4 Camry were horrible.. The amount of the oil consumption is unbearable. The tokunbo one that I sold I had to get rid of it .....i didn't make any money on it at all .... When the car landed naija we notice the engine was sounding weird... We check the oil level and it was very low .... We quickly bought 20w50 xhp for 4k naira at the time , and prayed the sound will stop...... We let the engine run for at least 5mins ... The thick oil was able to muzzled whatever engine sound it was making..... I sold fast fast......... But the v6 camry are nice fast and fuel consumption is not bad ... And the SE is very sporty..... Funny enough the v6 se are hot cakes |

Pearl1910:Instead make they buy the indigenous Innonso Motor. Those cars are made for our weather and Terrain.. No need to use engine oil, or even a/c . those foreign car manufacture don't know that we don't need a/c . we have our natural way of cooling off and palm oil is all is needed to lubricate. And we get plenty palm oil for various states ...... instead na foreign imports wey dey short oil from their useless factory come full market. https://www.nairaland.com/6784717/top-5-highest-earners |
Slickleo:Maybe you people should start buying Innonson Motors now . those cars are made for Nigerian weather and Terrain .. Make u guys leave Foreign imports alone.. Those foreign car manufacture no sabi say we get African weather and Terrain |
BAZ001:Since you are Zubby Michael now .. No need to make appointment for visa online and no more driving uber in the hot sun . No more factory reject camry anyone. Better food , house at lekki

BAZ001:Abi o. According to Izzo he said you are the Zubby Michael of this nairaland thread laugh wan kill me.i guess Zubby Michael dey do uber and drive factory reject camry.... Zubby Michael must not hear this ohttps://www.nairaland.com/6784717/top-5-highest-earners

deedee44: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBqxcQA_pJk To start with the issue of solving the oil consumption has to be solved. Using 20w50 oil in my opinion does not solve that problem......... I really doubt that car lasted that long with so many miles with 240k miles the car is finish now with bad road and Uber driving again .....come on behave urself ......Before that car reaches over 100k miles , it will be smoking all manners of smoke now white smoke gray smoke... Modify..... I just check your profile. You have deleted all your topics or anything that might identify you. There is no number to contact etc wetin you dey hide.......Please kindly show us this your camry .. With the mileage ...... . na so I ask Bazz001 to show us his low mileage camry.. Till today we no see picture abi the 240k mileage camry catch fire abi it is smoking white smoke ![]() |
mejai:What business do I have with South Africa corolla. Yes I know Corollas are assembled in South Africa for the African market.. I see them in Lagos well well .. Maybe that is the COROLLA. You had for 13yrs before selling cause of oil shorten Very ugly looking corolla I might say . but those cars not been shipped to the USA for sale ... The distance will be too far that.. Other than that I don't know what you smoke early this morning......... But I hope and pray that you are not saying that South Africa assembles Toyota Corolla and those cars are sold in the USA... I pray that this is not what you are saying ... Amen |
mejai:I have no clue what you are saying.. I hope you not smoking the highest grade of weed this morning. The 2009 camry I posted months ago was from the USA and na v6 ... So the car was assembled in South Africa ship to the USA. So Toyota cars are now assembling cars in South Africa and ship to the USA..... When you have Mexico and Canada close....... |
izzou:It is great insult to compare the two ... Zubby Michael is a well talented Multi Millionaire actor , business man. And he is good friends with Davido and plus Zubby has flew in private jets.... How dare you compare the two . Zubby Michael drives bentley, G wagon etc And his cars do not short oil like our low mileage 2007 camry Bazz001 brother . How dare you compare the two . Have once hear Zubby Michael shouting that he can't find his visa appointments dates online ![]()

deedee44:It is well established fact not a myth . That 2007 to 2009 Toyota camry v4 shorts oil. This is factory defects. Once the Camry reaches a certain mileage the oil consumption kicks in excessively. But what is the cause of this excessive oil consumption. It is a bad piston that is creating this oil consumption. So Toyota had a recall to fix these the piston. I think it cost over $2000 to fix these problem We have already establish the cause of the oil consumption. And you already admitted that yours consumes oil . but your solution to a bad piston is to use thicker oil like 20w50 without you actually fixing or replacing the bad piston... If this was the actual solution I think Toyota would have just told is customers to go home and use thicker oil . This will be cheaper solution for Toyota. But guess what? it does not solve the problem. It is more of a bandaid....... You claim that you driven yours for 3 years with no issues at all . And 20w50 solved the problem. Let us take into account how often you drive the car in Lagos. Lagos is populated like New York and you can't really put too much miles on the car, I don't think your cars puts on anything close to 12k miles a year. Where are u driving in Lagos to put that much miles .. Unless you are doing uber like our friend Bazz001 that drives a low mileage camry around up and down like a yellow cab driver we know his oil consumption will be high. He most likely has a drum of 20w50 in the boot of his low mileage camry.. I can even recall when it was mention here that 20w50 went up from 4500k to 9k .. He stated he will need buy couple of cartons of 20w50. But I think it is a whole drum is using now ![]() I am sorry to go off topic here .. My point here is that I don't think you drive the car long enough to really encounter this problem .. Yes your cars purrs like a kitten, but purring like a kitten is not the issue at hand . it is bad piston that causes this excess oil consumption. And you are not driving long enough to encounter this problem excessively And I believe that if you have to do it again , you will not buy the v4 u more than likely go for the v6. The v6 is much fun to drive and the fuel consumption is not that much . And importantly it does not come with a factory defect engine... |
Mrford:Nice 1 ...... Looks very clean and no sludge at all |
To all the hard working uber drivers out there. We are heading towards the Xmas period........So to end this 2021 on a good note . I have decided to do Top 5 earner CHALLENGE........ The Top 5 earners will show their DASHBOARD. I will need ideas for the winners . I don't want to give cash prizes . But I want to give something that has sentimental value.....below are my suggestions . Plz feel free to add or comment ....... 1. High quality scanner....... 2. Battery charger....... The ones that comes in a battery pack. No need for long wires etc 3. High quality video camera that you can hook to your car ........ This are the list of prizes am thinking of .. Suggestions will be welcome...... |
mejai:Why did you sell the COROLLA if the engine is in top shape... My guess is because it is shorting oil..... It could have better off to find the reason why the oil keeps shorten and fix . All a thicker oil will do is be a temporarily bandaid ..... I look online and 2008 model was not known for Oil shorten at all ... Than how long would u continue topping the oil for ? A friend of mine now is regretting his action . he bought a 2009 Toyota Camry v4 . He uses for uber and he carries at least 3 liters of oil inside his boot all the time. Constantly topping the oil every week or so it has become a pain.......( I can imagine what Bazz001 is going through with his low mileage camry )My other friend that drives camry 07 .. He forget to top the oil a few months . And the car engine froze on him . luckily for him he was just a few minutes to get on the highway.......... I myself sold a tokunbo 2008 camry 2 years ago . The guy that sold it to me didn't even tell me the car short oil . And at the time I didn't much about camry oil shorten issue...... When the car got to Lagos and I open up the engine to check the oil gauge. I knew something was wrong .. I had mechanic take a look at it and he said Bros ... Make we top engine and we bought 20w50 xhp ... The car sounded great and I quickly sold the car . I didn't make much profit from it , but I wanted to get a rid of it before other know issues arises ....... I don't think that car will last 6months before it starts smoking..... My point here is once a car starts to short oil and nothing is done to solve that problem. It is just a matter of time before the car gives up ............... Car owners.....stay away from cars that short oil and get rid of it before it starts to smoke
|
komodapson:Na factory reject/ defect engine... There is a guy on nairaland that normally buys a whole drum of 20w50 inside the booth of his car ....... He said he wants to sell it because it is low mileage ....... Just stay away from it 2007 to 2009 .......4plugs . The v6 is even popular now self . it has a strong engine and fuel consumption is low .......... |
SeyiJayden:Any brand you get ur hands on .. Plz just stay from 20w50 xhp brand...... |
BAZ001:You will need that 1m for that godamme factory reject 20w50 oil sipping limca lemon low mileage camry of urs
