xfay: well i would admit the arduino wont be original but am sure it will work fine i bougyt like four 4 last year with spare dip (328p)s ..someone sells them in naija here if you prefer that.
As for drivers you dont need any thing else to make the motor work ,the cnc shield included wih "polulu" like drivers plus power supply and you are ok.
This will not be a cheap undertaking if you want to buy everything frm abroad am assuming you live in Nigeria.. Nah you should buy drivers for each motor or else you are building waht i would call a concept cnc machine And No I don't live in NIgeria but in the Uk The sell full package CNC stuffs minus the railings and threaded poles for about £300, even modified boards for 5 axis here or on Ebay. |

blessedjohny4u: @ sienna thank for your submissions , all that you mentioned i am fully aware of, good a thing you mentioned ideal driving conditions, No matter how improved an engine lubricant might be, the internal combustion engine remains susceptible to wear and tear, no matter how synthetic an engine lubricant can be it looses some level of viscosity at some point and that is what keeps the engine going, there is a massive difference from an brand new engine and a used one please note, you do not advice the general public to do lube service once in every six months, that is not ideal,maybe you underestimate the effects of sludge if you can recollect my basis for suggesting a monthly oil change is based on one,s driving pattern, would you recommend someone that commutes from Lagos to porthacourt about three times in a week to do oil change once in six months? well this is not Sienna however,you failed to see the bits where it states that Due to advance in technology,Lub viscosity had greatly improved.Engines now have greater efficiency.If you check my article, you will see various guideline as to when to change your engine oil from some manufacturers.The best people to speak to are \Fleet management companies. |

Flexherbal: For those who use their cars for private use. I think changing your car oil every four months is healthy. how many KM per month? |
Car Talk › Re: When To Do Oil Change For Your Car by erico2k2(m): 8:09pm On Mar 21, 2016 |
blessedjohny4u: @ Sienna changing your oil on monthly basis is dependent on you driving pattern, if you are one of those long distance drivers who cover more than 5,000 kilometers monthly in their travels then you would understand the essence of this write up. (speaking from practical experience) DId your car come with manual? could you look at the service part plz. Changing the oil in your car every 3,000 miles(4828.032KM) was necessary in the 1970s, when most cars used 10W-40 oil, which tended to wear out within about 3,000 miles. Thanks to improvements in high-quality lubricants and tighter tolerances in the assembly of automotive engines, the 3,000-mile baseline simply does not apply to many cars on the road today; in fact, automakers now recommend you change oil at 5,000, 7,000, 10,000 or even as high as 15,000 miles for newer models under ideal driving conditions. For example, Toyota recommends you change oil at 5,000 miles for a 2005 Tacoma pickup, Honda recommends 7,500 miles for its 2002 Odyssey, General Motors suggests 7,500 miles for its 2007 Chevrolet Malibu, and Ford recommends 10,000 miles for its 2011 Fiesta. A 2008 Porsche Boxster can go 12,000 miles between changes, and a 2010 BMW 3 Series can go up to 15,000 miles before you change oil under ideal conditions; with this kind of complexity, it’s easy for consumers to be confused. |

xfay: Now disclaimer: I am in no way an expert but i have been researching this idea a long timeee.
For the CNC controller your best bet in terms of support and price will be to get an arduino uno board for around $10 with atmel 328p MCU. Pair that up with a CNC shield, add four stepper motor drvers from Texas instruments DRV8828 or something.
The arduino will be flashed with a firmware called GRBL which will turn it into a G code processor and VOILA your ready to power your NEMA 17 or 23s
else you will be looking for old school parallel port all about the place eheh I like ur Idea however that $10 would be fake though,you still need drivers for all motors, stoppers switches, and rollers,planes etc. Im looking for the cheapest way to build one, so far its £300 |

Vinshu: In order to reduce the level of poverty amongst homes, in my opinion I think a man who has not enough money to buy a house of his own not rent at least a 3 bed room flat and a car to move him and his family around should not get married.
When he gets married in his low credit, the family tends to suffer. The probability that he will get rich is actually 0.5 not up to 1 because Sundry expenses will now become expenses when married. Things he could ignore when single will now be important.
When children arrive, the probability of getting rich falls to an all time low of 0.2. Have you observed that most men have a higher credit score when single? If you have $500 at the end of every week when single if your job/income doesn't change or upgrade when you get married your $500 falls to $200 because you no longer feed yourself but feed a woman and probably a child.
When the child grows older school fees will set in. And other bad debts will be incured .
Don't get me wrong, I ain't saying he will never make it but in the mean time, why bring a child to the world to suffer? Even if it's for 6 years before you make it? Why take a woman from her father's comfy house to hardship in the name of marriage?
I advice ladies never to get married no matter how cool a guy is unless he is proven to be able to cater for your needs and that of your children financially in all ramifications both expenses and sundry expenses.
It doesn't make any sense, what you enjoy when single as a lady why stop enjoying it because your husband has no money or your money now goes to supporting him?
They say women ain't equal to men. Ok let the men be rich and rich enough to take care of their wives 101% before getting married. In fact, studies show most men marry for sex. Poor girls cannot go to where rich dudes go to |

Divinne: Some people here amaze me. My people perish because of lack of knowledge. It is obvious that you do not understand the technology behind the product. I wonder how you passed exams and made it through school. An advert was posted online and you, just like millions of others see it. Interested people are supposed the search and enquire more about the product then reach the contact.
I want to believe that you searched further and all you understand is that ur 60k shock absorber will do better an so the product is crap and dangerous. My own understanding is that this product is attached to the coil spring and not the shock absorber. A coil spring, also known as a helical spring, is a mechanical device which is typically used to store energy and subsequently release it, to absorb shock, or to maintain a force between contacting surfaces. They are made of an elastic material formed into the shape of a helix which returns to its natural length when unloaded.
It is a part of the suspension that dampens the impact that goes to the shocks, it handles vehicle height, weight and dropping when carrying load. It manages vibration, stability and cornering on sharp turns etc. The name of the product is coil spring/shock absorber cushion buffer, it is attached to the coil spring to reduce to standard vibration, noise, body roll when cornering. It is an accessory that adds extra value to an already existing coil spring to ease the shocks stress, it strengths weak coil springs, it reduces braking distance and enhance handling. it cushions the landing force on the wheel thereby increasing tire and suspension components life. Even a brand new cars with brand new shocks will still feel different with this product.
Mind you, the coil spring as one of the first suspension systems still remains the best suspension for Bad roads. Thank you.
YOUR QUESTIONS ? Guy you fall my hand .a PH guy 4 dat matta.  Check carefully in the suspension assy. What part does the damping and what part does the retaining .if you can deduct what part does what then we all would have been in same page. The easing sound that comes from your shocks got nothing to do with the spring.I also advise you read or learn a bit about shocks with no spring. |

Car Talk › Re: When To Do Oil Change For Your Car by erico2k2(m): 3:12pm On Mar 18, 2016 |
blessedjohny4u: The engine oil in your car engine is the life and blood line of your engine without it may things would go wrong , maybe this is an understatement to say , i cannot imagine an engine that would run for at least 10 minutes without having engine oil in .
I am compelled to write this post given the rather recurrent disparity of when appropriate to do a regular Oil and fitter change for your car engine as a precautionary measure most manufacturers of today's cars emphatically states when its best appropriate to do a routine oil change for their various brands be it a Honda, Toyota, Mercedes or Nissan every cars there cars spec has its own service interval.
When to do an oil change for your car requires few consideration these considerations will determine when best you can carry out an oi change for your car regardless if the your car has attained the required mileage for this, these factor includes your driving pattern, Kind of oil you use , engine type and age of the car
For most Japanese made cars and indeed every cars on the road the appropriate interval of when to do do oil change is pegged at every 7,000 kilometers regardless of your any factor most technicians stick to this time circle which is a common practice.
DRIVING PATTERN
Your driving pattern tells a lot about when to do an oil change for your car this is so because many motorist are cut everyday of the week either in stop and go traffic or on the highways, these are two different scenarios that affects the time interval of when to do your oil change, if you are the type that is always cut up in traffic or you live very close to a noisy and polluted areas its best best to do your service one every month or at ;least every 5,000 kilometers ,reason because while in traffic your engine takes in carbon monoxide from the pollution created by other vehicles and from a considerable hot environment, these factors contributes in breaking down the compounds of your engine oil much faster therefore rendering it less efficient as the days go by, when caught up in stop and go traffic regularly always ensure to do your oil change every single month or at best every 5,000 kilometers.
OIL TYPE Engine oil type goes a long way in determining when to do oil change for your car, be it synthetic oil or regular once , for synthetic oil service intervals or oil change tends to take a bit longer to because of the quality of the oil , but if you car uses a regular oil its best to to do your oil change quite sooner than expected , my best bet here is to do oil change for synthetic oil at the stipulated 7,000 km while your regular or non synthetic oil change should be adhered strictly at 5,000 km.
ENGINE TYPE
Engine type goes a long way in determining when you do oil change, there are several engine types out there , be it high performance engines and regular engines, high performance engines are those engines that are built with an extra purpose in mind these engines are specifically found in cars with higher specifications and limited ans sports editions and are thought to perform at a higher capacity than the normal engines, if your car is driven by a high performance engine its imperative that you do an oil change at manufacturers specified time-frame or on the safe side of every 3,000 km given the complex nature of your car.
AGE OF CAR
The age of your car also determines when to do your oil change, engines of older cars require these regular oil change to stay fit because of the compulsory wear and tear which they might have passed through over the years, as the the car gets older a regular oil change of at least 3,000 km is required to keep the engine up to date
Regardless of the above mentioned facts its best to stick to your car manufacturers manual for when to do oil change but a close consideration must be factored on the first point , yes most cars even go as far as 7 to 8,000 kilometers before an oil change for new cars and small trucks and SUV,S the ideal service interval should always be at 5,000 km, while older once can stick to the 3,000 mark for maintenance purpose. more on www.johnyblogscars.com[img][/img] Like seriously  |

The problem we all have is that we listen to reply rather than listen to understand the other.
From the discussions so far, impression I'm having (though I might be wrong) is that most of these "diasporans" feel once you reside in Nigeria you are ignorant, that is far from the truth, you really don't know who we all are. We may be in Nigeria, but who we really are might dwarf you that either earn to feed her majesty or 401k. You need to bow ur head in shame if you check this product it's from the diaspora.

corrall: As far as I don't get to spend money right now to keep changing shocks, it's fine by me. No time to waste time. Madam if you buy a proper shock. I dont mean the ones that cost N20k. I bought my rear shocks for my car at £100.that's not even top of the range in today's money it's N43k.so in Nigeria such will be like N60K so if your shock cost N20k it's from china and it's fake so it won't last longer than 3-6 months or it won't even give the smooth ride you crave for your lovely ride. |

Divinne: Hello Everyone, thx for all the criticism. We are missing the point here. The name of the product is coil spring cushion buffer, meaning a helper. It is an accessory and not a motor part or the shock absorber. It adds the new features you have in new suspension system to your old coil spring suspension system, like stability when cornering, enhanced braking system, vehicle height restoration, reduce noise and vibration from suspension etc. this product was first introduced in racing cars to add these features. It is has been around for years now and is been manufactured in Korea, Malaysia, India, Japan, America etc. it is been sold by Amazon, EBay, and major auto centres around the world. You can simply search for it online for more information and knowledge. As we advance in technology, new systems replace old ones and accessories add extra value to already existing. Motor parts dealer here should stop criticizing, the product is not a competition. It is only an accessory. There is no coil spring cushion buffer without a spring shock absorber. Please use your internet for information. Thank you. Oga once again stop spreading this rubber news, restrict it to Nigerians who do not have the benefit of choice No thanks to the likes of you. I and Siena live in the UK. U can never ever use that crap in the UK or you fail MOT straight away EgunMogaji lives in America and he has said same.so tjat leaves Asia and Africa. The step 4 ward in suspension technology are Air suspensions like you got on the range rover and the now new and more advanced electronic stability system. .These are what the FI cars have. |
