Car TalkRe: 2001 Toyota Camry Inline-4 Vs V6 by icemann(m): 7:59pm On Dec 22, 2014
No matter what answers they give you please DO NOT CHANGE YOUR ENGINE to/from a V6 to/from an I4.
Car TalkRe: Can You Tell What Car This Is? by icemann(m): 7:41pm On Dec 22, 2014
lomomike:
I like the visual appeal the car in OP's thread has. pristine white bodypaint, lowered coilovers, 18-22" light alloy, staggered wheels (I'm not too sure cos its viewed from rear), negative camber setup, thin rubber. Big exhaust, no aggressive side skirts or bumper skirts just simple types, no much drama. Who knows if its got a supercharger or turbocharger installed. cool
Putting UGLY modifications on an UGLY car is an eyesore. Any time i see cars like this(Fast and Furious "wana bee"wink, it irritates me (especially the stupid spoilers and noisy exhaust). So how do you expect a car to go faster or handle better on modified camber and deep rims? And visibility with unnecessary big intakes sticking on the bonnet?

Car TalkRe: Is It Safe To Convert D Injector Of A Car To Carburetor? by icemann(m): 7:03pm On Dec 22, 2014
Siena:
[color=Blue]Dude, are you for real? Or you simply did your copy and paste routine, without bothering to read the thread starter's query?

Let me make it simple for you - the query is about converting a fuel injected engine to run a carburettor-fuelled one. So why would a bunch of sensors and an ECU be needed??[/color]
Unless he is talking of electronic carburetors. But the link is the other way round
Car TalkRe: Owner Wrecks 707-hp Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat One Hour After Buying It by icemann(m): 6:36pm On Dec 22, 2014
sultaan:
Buyer can't drive grin

Same thing happened when the Ford GT first came out @$130k those Porsche driving wall street bankers were just wrecking it all over.

If you go from a 150hp Corolla to a 450hp Corvette you know there is going to be a wreck somewhere at some point. Same for a buyer going from 300hp to 600hp they will get over there head at some point.

Insurance will cover the car if he but he won't be buying another soon unless he has a mule deer or moose to prove his case.
The difference was/is handling. Most Porsche are performance cars like the Ford GT. American cars were known to have poor handling and were mostly built to run straight lines.

Car TalkRe: S.o.s Engine Gurus: Will This Work? by icemann(m): 11:11pm On Dec 17, 2014
CityNG:
Slightly off topic.

Does anyone rebuild their engines anymore in Nigeria? Most of the threads are always asking about replacing engines.

OP, why are you not just rebuilding your existing engine?
I don't know how to Rebuild an engine but the way people demand for new engine here, you would think Rebuilding is the hardest job on earth.
And any time i ask why, they say rings and metals in the market are fake. What happened to Amazon and Ebay? I was even ready to do a Probono on rings for someone and he refused, he kept on insisting if i have links to help him ship engine. Na wa oh.

You guys just went form Peugeot to Toyota .
I predict this would turn into Japanese cars vs German cars soon . Till then let me eat my popcorn and watch.
Lagusta:
And thank your stars you didn't insult me....
When you mentioned Peugeot vs Toyota, then labeled the thread a potential German vs jap war, didn't you indirectly call a Peugeot a German car??
Wouldn't it be fair to just say "japs vs euro cars"
So saying people changed a discussion about Peugeot to a discussion about Japaneses cars and it later turned it into a Japanese vs German argument means i said Peugeot cars German?

let me show you what the chain of discussion looks like

Peugeot -----------> Japanese(Toyota) ------------> Japanese Vs German

If you still don't understand then i am sorry for our educational system

I am soooo tempted to INSULT you but i want to believe you made and oversight. If you actually read all the people i quoted, they were debating Lexus VS MB, and the Luxury specs on a Japanese car. At what point did i call Peugeot a German car? You need to pay attention to details.

greenhulk:
Glad u mentioned mrsp, economy and reliability which is where Toyota is focused on and that is where they are winning and that is why they are the biggest auto maker in the world. They don't give a sh*t about other areas. Mercedes are all about luxury. Toyota has a car for everyone from the $17,000 yaris to the $400,000 Lexus LFA. if u are not rich enough then get an alternative which is where Lexus comes in. I mean why are u driving a Lexus Rx 330 when u know a Mercedes Benz ML 320 or ML 350 is better? The answer?
MSRP
fuel economy
Reliability.
lomomike:
Merc E sedan still trumps the ES in every ramification with exception of fuel MRSP, economy and reliability.
lomomike:
MRSP in Lexus ES350 is almost at par with an E350 Sedan,
Fuel economy is slightly better because its a FWD, Lower gear ratios, its lighter and its tuned for mid-speed comfort cruising. Whereas, the E sedan E350 is a tad lower in MPG because its either a RWD or an AWD, its got heavier mass, higher gear ratios, and designed for high speed long distance comforT cruising.
Reliability in ES350 is marred with tons of recalls. Airbags, Unintended acceleration, stuck pedal, stuck carpets etc.
Do I go on?
Well, let's stick to the topic...
nurey:
So you expect me to compare an S class or maybach to the camry abi. For your info, the C-class should be compared to the likes of the civic and corolla while the E-class competes with camry I don't want to believe the S-class is suppose to compete with Avalon it won't be really fair since the maybach has been scraped. The Germans have been offering state of the Art luxury and refinement reason for it been hard to compare it with jap Rivals, the only jap Brand I still respect till date is the INFINITI, infiniti packing mind blowing gadgets since 1000BC. Abeg make we no derail this thread I am enjoying Mr Ikennas review
Car TalkRe: Why Is Camry Aka Big Daddy 04-05 More Expensive Than EOD Same Year? by icemann(m): 9:20pm On Dec 15, 2014

The Camry is bigger, has lower gas mileage and highly fuel efficient that is why it's expensive.
In this sense don't they mean the same thing?

Thanks for your responces. But what would be the overall finacial cost of the swap and the effect on the car in the future.
Like Lomomike said, just trade in the car and get an I4. The headaches involve would drive you crazy, Literary.

HealthRe: FG To Test 80million Nigerians For HIV by icemann(m): 5:35pm On Dec 11, 2014
Lumyboi:
U can imagine how much they will claim to spend on that. When hiv is alredi free in govt hosp. Useless pple in govt. The only thing they care about is lootin
So HIV is free in Government Hospital?

If you mean free testing in government hospitals, then you need to know the testing kit is bought from somewhere with some money for some people, It doesn't magically appear from nowhere. And guess what? Govt buys it. So if you don't understand economics, if they stop the purchase it stops being free.

So we should keep BOkoharam relegated to the back pages while they keep killing and bombing Nigerians.....up untill the Chibok abductions and the subsequent campaings,,,,, 60% of Nigerians didnt even know who or what BH was, all they knew was that bombs were going off and people where dying.....Nigeria should have used the increased public awareness for its advantage by undergoing massive hitch free recruitment into the armed forces to increasr our military from 100,000 to atleast 1.2million, Nigeria has one of the lowest military to population ration iin the world. When alqeda attacked america, The government took steps to make sure such would never ever happn in america again. and they have been quit succesfull .but in Nigeria, bombs have gone off several times in Abuja and no body has resigned, nobody has been sacked,,,,,,,we all know terrorism is not easy to supress but you reduce it to the lowest possible levels and make it incredibly difficult for the terrorist to breath freely,,, since the terrorist dont have a problem with dying, we make sure we make them die on our own terms. A bomb can go off in Abuja tomorrow, hundreds would die and all we would here is " we are ontop of the situation"
because of the BrinbackOurgirls Campaing many countries wanted to help but they disvoverd there were too many loop holes in the country,
You are a DUMB as a rock. So you think increasing an army force would stop an ideology? So with all the armed forces in China, Russia, India and America they still have attacks.

This is the third Chief of army staff and head off police since the Boko haram Saga. So what do you want?

Tell the Northerners to help us end this thing. We have hunters taking responsibility and that's has been the most fruitful effort. We need the north to join hands in the help to end this (that's if they want to end it)

A ferry ship sank in south korea killing 200 pupils, The Prime minister tenderd a public apology and resigned. She didnt own the ship, she wasnt the one sailing the ship but just because such a thing happend under her leadership, she resined,,,,,,,,,,,Leadership in Developed and sane Countries is not a do or die affair, u dont keep on leading when people are dying wheither its ur faulth or not, you step down and let someone who can take your country forward.
In develop countires people lead because of patroitism but in foolish countries like Nigeria people lead because of money,,,,,The cost of leadership in Nigeria is too much,,they day we make leadership less lucrative, or cuts the salaries and allowances of our leaders, that the day we would develope
Let me answer you with your analogy. When al qaeda attacked NY, London, Boston, Madrid etc did the president or prime minister resign? And you think you made a valid point.

Do you think the sponsors of terrorist organisation are looking for ROI (return on investments)? Their only joy is he panic and publicity you give them. Take an example the brig back our girls campaign, It elevated boko haram to a NO 3 terrorist organization thanks to the publicity and guess what? the sponsors are happy and the attacks has quadruple since then. Keep giving the terrorist valid points to gain more sponsorship.

I can't understand why no one is blaming GEJ for this.

I taught he should be blamed for every misfortune in Nigeria. We should not take any personal responsibility for our actions. Nonsense angry angry

Car TalkRe: Ever Locked Your Car With The Key In Ignition? Share Your Experience. by icemann(m): 7:29pm On Nov 24, 2014
Went to the airport to pick a friend and i stopped right close to the building entrance. I clicked on the trunk/boot open button (so i taught) on my key and the car was idling. Closed the door after me and bam, I locked my self out with my car idling, my wallet and phone in the car with less than a quarter tank of fuel. I Couldn't call for help and no numbers in my head, Thank God for AAA rescue. By the time my car was opened the reserve light was on. It wasn't funny that day.
