Car TalkRe: Useful Tips For Buying Nigerian-used Cars/Vehicles by EbukaIam: 4:05am On May 19, 2020
LordTerix:
1. Avoid cars 'used by a woman'. In my experience, they are the very worst you can find anywhere today.

Most women don't even know what a dipstick is or even the compressor, it's that bad!

I repeated this for emphasis - and this is not sexism... na fact!

2. Avoid all cars tagged 'selling because owner is relocating'. Na lamba!

3. For obvious reasons, do not buy a Nigerian used car from a merchanic!
Basically, avoid buying all types of cars for sale.

4. Avoid all cars that mention 'selling cause of too many cars in the compound' or 'used by a banker, doctor or lawyer'.Na scam!

5. Finally, avoid all those 3 months registered cars! Buying them always leads and ends in tears. Who sells off a car just after 3 months of use?!

Car TalkMazda 3 Vs Mazda 6: Which Used Car You Should Buy? by EbukaIam(op): 11:12am On Apr 05, 2019
If you're wondering which one should you buy between Mazda 3 n Mazda 6, check below the conclusions I found on the original post.

- Mazda 3 and 6 share similar safety features.
- Mazda 3 is more compact than Mazda 6.
- Mazda 6 offers more legroom but less headroom than Mazda 3.
- Mazda 6 has more cargo space and larger fuel capacity.
- Mazda 3 has higher fuel efficiency but run slower.
- Mazda 3 is cheaper than Mazda 6
- Mazda 3 body style is more suitable to Nigerian transport infrastructure as it is more compact, natural to drive and offers great comfort inside.
Meanwhile, well-off families may consider buying the captivating design of Mazda 6 to set you apart from the crowd, load more luggage as well as feel more secured thanks to its theft alarm system.
- Mazda 3 won’t require you to visit auto shop much often as Mazda 6 owners

All details and explanations to come to those conclusions are listed in the post, u can check it by yourself if have time: https://naijauto.com/car-buying-and-selling/mazda-3-vs-mazda-6-2454

Car TalkBad Driving Habits That Reduce Your Car Battery’s Life by EbukaIam(op): 9:53am On Feb 11, 2019
riving habits are the key factor that affects the life of automobile batteries. Naijauto.com will provide the list of most common bad habits that damage the battery that drivers should not have.

1. Parking the car for a long time
Modern cars are equipped with many intelligent features that continue to operate even after you turn off the engine. These features include remote control systems, anti-theft systems and some types of sensors. Even though these features will only consume very little battery energy, when you park the car for a long time, the battery power will be drained bit by bit without being recharged and eventually will be drained out. Therefore, some users may find their unused car very difficult to start.
https://file.naijauto.com/2018/06/25/GzSDFYgt/stack02-copy-678a.jpg
When you park the car for a long time, the battery power will be drained bit by bit
The best advice for car owners who do not drive regularly is to take your vehicle out, start the engine and take a drive every once in a while, so that the battery will be recharged. This will also help to preserve the engine and the tires of unused cars.

2. Skipping periodic car maintenance
It is important to have your car checked by the maintenance service periodically, because many automobile parts require regular inspection, including the battery. If you skip the maintenance schedule, it will be impossible to check if the battery liquid level is sufficient, or whether battery poles are clean or dirty. Unchecked batteries often have shorter life than expected, because they might be working under abnormal conditions for a long time.
https://file.naijauto.com/2018/06/25/GzSDFYgt/mechanict658-copy-2224.jpg
Regular maintenance helps preserving battery life
The advice is simple: take your car to the maintenance service regularly. You may think that the service can cost time and money, but it will cost a lot more if any part of your car malfunctions and you have to fix or replace them. For example, a well-preserved car battery can last up to 5 years before it must be replaced, while an unchecked battery with dirty poles may only last 2 years. Which is more costly?

3. Using too much energy when idle
This is one of the main causes of battery drain. Using the headlights, reading lights, radio, and charging electronic devices for long hours when not driving the car will cause the battery to quickly drain out of power. It may be fun to hang out in the car during the night, but will be very inconvenient to have to jump start your car the next morning because the battery dies.

4. Driving short distances
There is an optimal driving distance (usually 4-5 kilometers) for car batteries to fully recharge from electricity usage. If you constantly and only drive shorter distances than optimal, your car battery will be draining out faster than usual. The reason is that car ignition cost a lot of battery power, which can only be recharged when the vehicle moves. Driving too short will not sufficiently recharge the power consumed for ignition.

If you live near your office and only drive short distances to go to work, the best way to preserve your car’s battery life is to drive longer trips every once in a while, so that the battery can be recharged.

5. Improper battery installation
When you remove the car battery for maintenance, make sure to put it back again properly. Because if it was not installed correctly and not fitted in position, the battery would be vulnerable from road shocks and fail quickly. Exposure to severe shocks can create cracks on the battery, and in the worst case, it could be completely damaged and the car would die in the middle of the road.

Foreign AffairsSee The Biggest Submarine Ever Built Ready For The World War III by EbukaIam(op): 7:45am On Jan 18, 2019
The biggest submarine gets power from 2 nuclear water reactors, 2 50,000HP steam turbines, and 4 3,200kW turbogenerators.
Today, Naijauto.com presents you the Project 941 also known as the Akula which means Shark in Russia. This is the biggest submarine ever built on earth measuring 175m in length with 23m beam and 12m draught.
https://file.naijauto.com/2018/09/12/u0GUC7wC/witness-the-biggest--98a1.png
https://file.naijauto.com/2018/09/12/u0GUC7wC/witness-the-biggest--c8f8.png
When the tension between the Soviet Union and the U.S.A rose to its climax in the 80s, the Soviet was ready for another World War and its best preparation must have been this giant, the Typhoon the name the NATO gave to it.

The submarine can populate 150 crews and cater to their lives in 120 days.

If this ever came into a war, its enemy would be holding great fears for its tranquility and stealth when moving in the sea (top speed of 31 mph~ 27 knots) while when it sails on the surface it can reach a top speed of 25.57 mph (22.22 knots).

Video: Russian Typhoon-class submarine " world's biggest submarine "
The submarine carries 20 RSM-52 SLBM ballistic missiles which can be fitted with 10 MIRV nuclear warheads, which can translate to a total devastation of a big city like New York.

The biggest submarine gets power from 2 nuclear water reactors, 2 50,000HP steam turbines, and 4 3,200kW turbogenerators, which is enough to generate a small city.

Car Talk6 Tell-tale Signs To Know When To Replace Shock Absorber by EbukaIam(op): 10:15am On Jan 15, 2019
Is it time for a replacement of your car shock absorbers? Check 6 signals below to tell!

1. Rocking and Rattling
If your car shakes and rocks on bumpy surfaces, it is very likely that your shocks are worn out badly. Along with this uncomfortable ride, rolling and rocking can exert unexpected pressure on other car parts and should be checked as soon as possible.

When To Replace Car Shocks And Car Struts

2. Uneven tire wear
If you see scaly patches or uneven wear on your tires, this often means that the contact between your car tires and the road is still not optimal, which can be led by worn shock absorbers. This will affect the vehicle control and tire grip, both of which should be promptly seen to and replaced.
https://file.naijauto.com/2017/12/16/SPwLa8M2/uneven-tyre-wear-5f0f.jpg
Uneven tire wear could be a sign of a damaged shocks

3. Car veering and sliding
Car veering and sliding across the road even in in light wind are definite signs of worn shocks. This calls for a replacement of shock absorber.

4. Swerving & nose-dives
If your car has any signal of dipping or swerving under braking, you need to check the shock absorbers immediately. This can reduce your control over the vehicle, especially, it poses higher risks in wet weather.

5. Vibrations
If your shocks are in a good condition, the car tires will be kept in an optimum contact with the road and vibration shouldn’t appear. Whenever you feel the car’s vibration, pay attention to the shock absorbers because when the vibration becomes more intense, especially at a cruising speed, your car control will be more dangerous.
https://file.naijauto.com/2017/12/16/SPwLa8M2/vibrations-6367.jpg
If your shocks are in a good condition, the car tires will be kept in an optimum contact with the road and vibration shouldn’t appear

6. When the stopping distance comes longer
If your car’s shock absorbers are worn after a long time of using, the stopping distance can be increased by up to 20%. As you speed up the move, this will also increase the distance that your car stops completely. This additional 20% distance may be enough for a crash and should be paid attention to as soon as possible.

Car TalkWhat Will Occur If The Car Key Is Taken Out While Driving? by EbukaIam(op): 5:32am On Jan 12, 2019
Back to the 50’s and 60’s, cars were produced with simple mechanisms which had a bit advanced features of technologies and uncomplicated ignition switches. Drivers even could leave the key out of the car while it is running without worrying about the affection to the engine’s operation. But now, we are living in a modern world and the cars are also made with more advanced technologies including their key functions.

1. What will occur if the key of the car is removed while driving?
Frankly, nothing will happen because it is impossible to take the key out. For security reasons, the ignition switches’ structure becomes more and more complicated. In modern cars, you can’t take the key out once the engine has been started. Even when you can remove the key as a result of some defect, the steering wheel will be locked immediately while the vehicle is running, which easily causes an accident.

If this is done when the ignition switch is off, the steering wheel shall be locked and then the gearbox will turn to the Park mode. As a result, the car will stop. This will be very dangerous, especially when the car is running on an expressway or a heavy-traffic road.
https://file.naijauto.com/2018/02/21/SPwLa8M2/key-3-db04.jpg
In modern cars, you can’t take the key out while the engine has been started

If the car has an electrical-based support which may consist of steering and braking system, it will stop almost right away. If it works with a vacuum-based support, its engine will operate for a moment and continue spinning until it stops completely. So if you can get the key of the car out while driving, a crash is the most likely consequence.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSxubcxxXS4
What happens if you throw out your key (fob) WHILE driving? Don't be stupid enough to do this.

2. How about in an advanced car?
A number of cars today do not even have ignition keys which are functioned by RFID fobs. The fob must be within a certain range to keep the car running smoothly. The vehicle will still run in Park mode, even when the RFID fob is a little out of range.

What will occur if you throw the key out the car window while the car is in a fast motion? If the car engine is operating and the Park mode of the gearbox is not turned on, the car will keep running. The central computer system of the car will assume that the fob is functioning improperly. Therefore, the system will not force the engine to stop for safety reasons.

The vehicle will start or in Park mode, even if the RFID fob is a little out of range

Car Talk6 Most Common Driving Habits That May Cause You An Accident by EbukaIam(op): 5:21am On Jan 12, 2019
There is a myriad of reasons leading to an accident but human errors are surprisingly the main factor adding up to the figures.

It is evident that distraction plays the major role in causing accidents. In this article, we discuss why people lose their attention and what it may cost.

1. Being curious about the world outside
Curiosity is the nature of human. It can be good for some reasons but on the road, it can lead to disasters. Sometimes just a wink at a hot chick across the road could earn you a car crash. Reading advertisements or posters, sadly, are other elements that contribute to a long list of daily accidents.
https://file.naijauto.com/2018/03/22/u0GUC7wC/toyotacamry-03-d598.jpg
Sometimes just a wink at a hot chick across the road could earn you a car crash

2. Making phone calls
Car producers so often corrupt our mind with the idea that the calling technologies set in their car are safe and are the pioneer of human modern development. However, research has shown that human brain is not supposed to multitask. Calling and driving at the same time will definitely slow down human interactions, which ceases drivers from making the quickest and most prudent response behind the wheel.

3. Driving while feeling drowsy
Just imagine you are seated in your working chair with a pile of documents needed to complete. The night is falling and your workload is waving for you to be handled. Your eyes start to feel tired but you can’t help but keeping dealing with your burden. And the result is you fall asleep trying to keep your eyes open, hitting the desk, ouch! Now put yourself in the front seat of your car. You won’t want to hit your head at the wheel, will you? Because it will not simply make a sound on the desk but may steal a life.
https://file.naijauto.com/2018/03/22/u0GUC7wC/toyotacamry-02-602e.jpg
Feeling sleepy is a sign for you not to drive

4. Using social media on the way
The world twirls so fast that it fools us that we should keep updating. Anytime and anywhere, with a mobile device and internet access, people bring themselves to another world. Unluckily, this world is too appealing, and people seem not to be able to get out of it. When people get accustomed to the unreal world, they, for sure, cannot focus on the real one. To put into the driving context, if your eyes are stuck to the screen, you literally see none of those eventualities awaiting you.
https://file.naijauto.com/2018/03/22/u0GUC7wC/toyotacamry-05-6512.jpg
Using social media on the way distracts your driving

5. Wandering in thoughts
Mixing daydreaming and driving is another serious disease among car owners. As mentioned above, our brain is not born for multitasking. Correspondingly, driving means driving and just put your thinking away or at least think about how to drive safely.
https://file.naijauto.com/2018/03/22/u0GUC7wC/toyotacamry-04-b4bb.jpg
Wandering in your thoughts is one of the distracting sources

6. Taking care of the children
Kid fights are always a nuisance for families. The problem is that they just don’t leave their fights at home but may bring it into the car as well. Some parents may lose their temper and keep their eyes on their kids but that is not a good idea because the road is the thing they should care more about.
