Mayor555: Oga Gazz, well done sir, thanks for coming back...
this will be my first comment, though I've been following since first post.
I have a very funny layman's suggestion..
that year, when we bin dey follow Popsi go mechanic workshop, at a time we saw them run an engine on the ground without installing it in any vehicle... can't it be done to 2az-fe also?

no mind me o... please I'll need a reply/replies to this.. Yes it can, very easily too.
Will rule this out because of the noise it will create. So far no neighbours have complained about my presence  |

jarkbauer: I think you can also get the VIN through the OBD2 scanner. Can they change that too? correct for some vehicles, but not all. |

Consumerprotect: Have you ever wondered how most of the Vehicles brought into the country after the closure of the land borders get original verifiable custom documents?
Here is one of the ways.
Assume vehicle is a 2010 Acura RDX with VIN: 1234567891011121
Client pays for Vehicle in cotonu and goes back home to wait for Vehicle delivery.
The smuggler contacts His Custom Buddies, and they Begin a search on the customs database for a Matching Vehicle (2010 Acura RDX)
They find one with a custom duty paid for in 2012, with VIN: 1314151617181920
The documents transfered to the smuggler in cotonu.
Next, a set of very skilled crafts men are employed to modify and create new VIN stickers and install them on the vehicle.
The customs only use the last 6 digits of the vin on a vehicle.
The craftsmen remove all vin stickers and Vin plates on the vehicle and recreate a new vin that will contain the last 6 digits of the original document, while leaving the first 10digits of your vehicle alone.
They go as far as removing the vehicles Windshield to replace plates, and cutting of engraved Vin on frame. In some cases they leave the frame blank, in other cases they engrave new Vin numbers to match document.
At the end of this procedure the vin would look something like this. 1234567890181920.
this is just 1 of the few ways smuggled cars are brought in.
I will be revealing more methods in due course. This is correct and I have seen this exact script play out. I was trying to determine service records for a 2003 tundra using VIN, I sent the vin to Carguide, only for him to tell me there were mistakes, I took a pic of the vin sticker and sent to him, and he said it was still wrong, I looked closely and realised the vin stickers were too new for a 2003 vehicle.
Finally found the original vin of vehicle on the transmission (Vin tag) nice one consumerprotect. |

Inception: Regenerative braking
Depressing the brakes actually provides a dynamo effect that in turn charges the battery.
Ithe question is how much juice can you get from such exercise? Excellent observation.... have you ever driven a hybrid? |

Out of the Box thoughts.
In got lost in thought a few days ago about this project, I wondered what would happen if I left the ignition on, and towed the car over a long distance with the battery pack installed.
I would appreciate an interactive session on this. |

Today I was really busy... almost made a hat trick in vehicle sales, but we'll 2/3 is still a goal 
Spent the day charging the batteries (all 34 cells at a go) using the solar panel, I am very careful and Inspect every 20-30mins.
the weather was not very favorable as it became a wet monday around 2pm, so the charging continues tomorrow.
By the side, the backup Camry 2006 will be purchased tomorrow morning solely to startup the engine and ensure its in perfect shape in case the battery pack is unable to give a long enough crank. The camry vehicle will not be factored as a cost as it will be sold as a profit after its function is completed. |

Hi every one, I am really not under any obligation to share my experiences in fixing this vehicle. I said earlier, The project is a learning field, for my self and countless others who are presently reading, and those who will stumble on this thread in the future.
My mistakes, failures and success will help a DIY enthusiast/Hybrid owner/ Technician understand what to do and what not to do when similar challenges are faced.
The main person derailing this is an attention seeker with several usernames which I will not mention.
More than once he has derailed several threads which were beneficial to others.
I Initially wanted to discontinue updating, and just show the final result, but that would be unfair to the over 11,000 viewers.
The thread will continue and finally evolve into a Hybrid talk thread and will be moved to Cartalk after fixes are completed.
I will urge all of us to Remain focused and if you really want to attack me personally come at me with proper facts and figures. If you have bought a defective part from me or received bad service, open a thread and make a complain, till then let's keep this learning thread alive.
thread continues we remain focused.

kaz4sure2015: Dear Guru on the house
Kindly advise on the following
My Lexus es350 airbag light on the dashboard always come up whenever I enter potholes , and if I turn off the engine and restart it, the light will disappear but will suddenly come up whenever I enter into pothole
Note: I don’t experience this when driving on a smooth road
Kindly advise on the possible causes Drive to a repair shop, have them scan the airbag unit.
The results will point to the defective part. Have it replaced or fixed (if fixable) drive out and be happy. |

Eddee: Let's start with the easy one first, where have you been getting fuel lately? I hope you didn't throw away that MAF? As for the nozzles, did you buy a complete set (direct toks - shouldn't be more than 4k), I still suspect the spark plugs and coils (a multimeter will confirm this).
Stop throwing parts at it, if you dey Lagos - carry that motor track Gazzuzz (no worry, offline him dey work Mercedes, you know see that Range Rover wer him wan sell, who you think say bin dey maintain am?)
I hope these are not the spark plugs you put in that Merc? why u de cast me nah  |
