Dude, buy the Lexus.
The camry 07 to 2010 looks better than the Lexus of same year range. I'm not sure you'd understand why people do engine swaps

I like the determination bro, don't want to rain on your parade but don't you think choosing an IS and upgrading drive shafts, a couple engine bay modifications, ECU and a proper transmission will be far easier and more reliable as a daily driver?
I just love the shape of the 2007 to 2010 camry. We have fitted a range rover v8 in a land rover defender, fitted a tacoma v6 in a land rover defender, and a tundra v8 in a land rover defender. Will be trying more swaps in the coming months. I may create a thread for defender swaps when i have the time. I haven't been on nairaland in years so pardon my silence
Car Talk / Re: How Do I Make My 07 Camry Sound Like A Sport Car? by ivoryhouse(m): 8:58am On Apr 18, 2022
It's possible. Decat the camry, straight pipe it then buy aftermarket mufflers and you have yourself a mean sounding camry.

This is still cartalk so i wander why we're not discussing cars as we used to

Please house, I'd love to get an electric high pressure car wash machine for personal use. Anyone know where or who deals on it here?

I've tried ordering it myself but the shipping cost is quite on the high side.

I attached pics of the machine or anyone similar to it.

I'd appreciate any help from here. Thank you.

Even worn out oil seals would cause engines to smoke and if the seals can be properly replaced, no issues. This is different from your Liberty case and the Lexus'

The man has already worked in the engine and is about to embark on a second missionary journey. Allow the man to buy another engine nah. Pity him small

I hope you won't create a new moniker to start complaining about that Liberty Jeep when the engine starts smoking again grin


UPDATE: Since you want to play the language game. I don't know what you mean by RIGGING an engine tongue
Nigerians like to replace an old engine with another old engine when they can rebuild the engine they know. If you have a good tech, rebuild that engine! And if you cut corners good luck with that!
I totally agree with you bruh

Hi ivoryhouse - whatever happened to this idea? Keen to learn how over 400 horses in a lightweight Corolla chassis will feel like.
My partner feels it's not worth it so I've put it on ice. It's a project I will do when I have some spare cash to spend on an experiment. I'll post the update on this thread.

Not same year...BMW E30 3 series from 1987 got a powertrain from a 1995 BMW 5 series E34...and it was not plug and play....

The swap can work, if skilled technicians handle it. Do your research. They said we couldn't swap a range rover p38 4.0l v8 in a defender (I'll create the thread soon �) . But we not only did it, we swapped in parts from different cars so the defender drives like a new car and has crazy acceleration. You need a very good electrical guy, not just a rewire.

The day I lost respect for you was when I saw Kazeem replacing your 505 brake pads in akpo abuja .

You are a textbook mechanic and scanner mechanic , but not hands on. Roadside mechanics do all the work for you.

What you did there has been done hundreds of time here in Kaduna by road side mechanics. All you need are Peugeot 406 parts.

607 has the most unreliable transmission known to mankind, and it frustrated you too.

Enjoy your 5 seconds of fame, and share the glory with the guys that did the actual work.
This is not nice at all. You sound like you have scores to settle with him. We don't care who else has done it, neither do we care where they did it. He's achieved his goal and successfully too and he's therefore entitled to celebrate. Maybe you should create a thread on the Kaduna boys so those in Kaduna and perhaps even Abuja, that need their services can reach out to them. Stop hating, it's detrimental to your health

Talking of your mechanic sir, I intend restoring the A4 back to default and perhaps having a trustee and experienced hand who knows what is doing. Once you get a value for what you spend, I believe that's all that matters. Spoke to deltel sef, no S8 on auction at the moment nd just one on copart and one on iaai
Have you checked eBay?

I wise Nairalanders. Please I need review on the car Audi S8 2007. Am an ardent fan of Audi and I got an Audi A4 around November last year which have spent a fortune fixing different issue since I bought it, from water collector to brain box. Infact just last week out of no money I still spend over 200k buying brain box etc. I intend buying another Audi since to me Audi is elegant and beauty and won't even let people know how heavy your machine is. Now issue is am thinking about about Audi S8 2007 what do you guys think of this car and is there anyone who have used it before? The maintenance and other factor about it nko. And I need to know the landing cost of this car

Audi experts can also reveal any Audi product you feel I can opt for
Used Audi can be money pits. If you must buy, get a dealer services and maintained Audi with comprehensive service history. Good luck

You people are not helping matters ooo. Pilot and Xterra. Which is Better and why
You're asking which car is better, between tow cars with 5year difference? The Xterra is a great car, and so is the pilot. New cars are always better, except you like classic cars. For modern-ish cars, newer is better than older, at least in this case, unless you prefer the older.

I don't want to argue but 95% of Toyota corolla came with 6 loader CD and its factory fitted. Many have seen came with 6 loader and mine also came with 6 loader and I loaded six CD there and all d CD are playing. I rest my case
The higher toyota camry doesn't come with better sound equipment, why do you think Toyota would equip a base car like the corolla with such equipment?

Jeep Grand Cherokee, up to 2006

There are many options out there, all, Nigerian used.
Why anyone would buy older cars when they can get newer cars, I'll never understand �
