mbizzy: @ kablooee
I guess it is a deliberate attempt not to respond to my mail and requests for your number/contact. No b so o I really need a replacement ecu.
Sorry ma'am, you've got a mail.

erico2k2: Im not arguing we are having a discos so like seriously U say yiu can remap a car? Cos U need to be registered here to have acces to the aoftwares or up to date programs.U are telling me you uave that acces in Nigeria?
Yes my friend I can. I've got access to the various manufacturers tech website, yes access from Nigeria. I flash and reprogram VW and chrysler vehicles almost daily.
Car TalkRe: ECU Stolen by kablooee: 1:28pm On Sep 27, 2014
erico2k2: Brov U dont get it do u.name one person on here who programs the ECU
One person..... Kablooee.
I don't like to argue much online cos I find it childish but just tell me one ecu you can't program without part number and I'll tell you the steps to program it.

Note. Part numbers will aid but it's not mandatory because there are several ways to get it without the sticker on the engine computer itself.
Car TalkRe: ECU Stolen by kablooee: 9:44pm On Sep 26, 2014
erico2k2: U can never re program an ECU without the part Number.Thats my point
Wrong again bro, when you connect to the ecu, you can get information like VIN, part number, flash version, read current ecu maps etc. Part number has absolutely nothing to do with programming.
Car TalkRe: ECU Stolen by kablooee: 1:19pm On Sep 26, 2014
erico2k2: yes good Idea, remove the part number,makes it hard to sell.
You're wrong bro. Get to ladipo and see them write ecu number with paint or just write "2004 Toyota Corolla" or remove sticker from bad ecu.

Buh really who cares if it's going to be hard to sell or not? What we want is for it not to be stolen at all.

Car TalkRe: Toyota Venza Problems by kablooee: 10:42am On Sep 24, 2014
2GR-FE engine realizes high performance, quietness, fuel economy, and clean emission through the use of the Dual VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) system, DIS, and ETCS-i.

You can go on and on.
Car TalkRe: Toyota Venza Problems by kablooee: 5:59am On Sep 24, 2014
Without saying much, the venza with the 2GR-FE engine. It's about Toyota most successful V6 engine.

My personal opinion.

After sagamu Junction. Ibadan express, rough road, very rough.

Finally out of traffic approaching sagamu Junction.

Still in traffic.
Car TalkRe: Lagos To Abuja To Benue To Kogi Back To Abuja........ Loading........ by kablooee(op): 7:01pm On Sep 23, 2014
Road construction about 20km to shagamu bridge, traffic traffic all the way. I got really upset cos it was longer than the usual traffic here

Car TalkRe: Lagos To Abuja To Benue To Kogi Back To Abuja........ Loading........ by kablooee(op): 6:49pm On Sep 23, 2014
Traffic was free at Redeem..... Good to go

Approaching Lagos toll gate, irrespective of the time you get here, you see people asking for ride outside Lagos, I wonder why they don't go to the designated parks and prefer to stand here.

komekn: You impress me beyond words, firstly one of the few Nigerians who hasn’t accepted the rubbish put out by Nigerian mechanics as to the viability of using a diesel car in Nigeria, the 330d engine is stupendously economical and robust (real mileage cruncher)

Secondly, how do you with our dusty roads keep that engine bay so clean I am amazed?

Finally, I have done a fair amount of road trips across Europe and in the US. You are re-igniting my interest, about 5/6 years ago I tried to organise a road trip London to Lagos, I had some ex army girls (Ghanaian origin) who were seriously committed but shockingly all the guys dropped out (fear of the unknown )
Thanks for the comments, I go for what I like irrespective of what some shoddy mechanics think about it. Got the BMW last year and words can't describe the performance and the fuel economy is also very good.
Done a couple of trips with it also.

About my engine bay, I clean it out when I've got free time. 30mins is more than enough.

Ok, got up rather late that faithful day, already had my things packed d previous night. Besides d regular engine checks, the most important thing to me when going on a long trip are my tyres, when I've new tyres they increase my confidence. I don't eat breakfast when embarking on trips. Left the house exactly 0810hrs

Meet the puma zetec engine. The never tiring engine.

Am back to abuja now. Journey BTW makurdi and Abuja is very annoying because of the multiple road blocks, every 2km and sometimes less u have some annoying road blocks. Will leave for Lagos on Saturday. Network is better here. I'll start uploading pix and complete them when I return home.

komekn: Just reading through your inspiring post and I just wouldn’t have thought that a Ford Puma would have been resilient enough to do that road trip, considering our roads. Furthermore it was discontinued in 2001, so your car is at least 13/14 years old, how long have you had it for huh huh I must say it looks pristine.
I've got a 330D diesel engine BMW which is my new "toy" and a wrangler Sahara for off road but my love for this puma knows no bound. Tnx komekn

aieromon: All the way from Efon-Erio-Aramoko-Ijero-Kabba....one needs to be very careful when overtaking on that road.
You can say that again.

GAZZUZZ! Thanks for the very useful information about the bad bridge, network has been really poor so I couldn't update, I arrived Abuja 1720 same day. Journey was smooth. Leaving for adoka from abuja thru makurdi shortly.
Car TalkRe: Lagos To Abuja To Benue To Kogi Back To Abuja........ Loading........ by kablooee(op): 7:20am On Sep 16, 2014
Taking off. Info and pix to come later.

IdaraCHODB: How do you intend to document the trip? With a purpose built camera? with a smartphone based camera? Do you stop to take pictures? Or does a co-passenger do the picture taking? Or do you take the pictures while driving? Curious. My smartphone camera needs a few seconds to focus and I can't afford the luxury while driving

Once i am on the road, am so fixated on getting to my destination safe and sound that i don't stop except to refuel or to attend a law enforcement.

Siena: You're meant to be an "expert", yet you come out with this? I suppose you feel only big 4 door sedans with. 5.7L V8 engines are the best for long distance travel.

Just so you know - couples here travel with 1.0 litre Classic Mini models to the South of France. The only difference between interstate travel with the Ford Puma and a BMW E39 is the level of comfort.

The Puma 1.7 has racing pedigree. And what you fail to realise is that a smaller engine will dissipate heat much more efficiently than a big one.

Expert? Lol.
Thanks Siena. I need not say more.
