Walahi anyone that reads this thread from page 1 till .....can comfortably pass any aviation related exam . Kudos Sir, flying is all I have ever wanted to do right from childhood though the training fee is Humongous but I know my God will surprise me this year..
Here is my question sir, the recent unfortunate bombing of the IDP camp by NAF. what could hv led to such mishap. Could it have being pilot error, failed intelligence gathering or both from ur experience what do u think could have being the cause of the unfortunate incident cos I feel the pilot must have being on IFR thus working with coordinates..Pls can u throw more light on this tnks..

Dangers of Kazeems. Where did such name came from. I don't think we should destroy the name. Also, you wouldn't have fixed your vehicle on your own at the first point.

You were only unlucky to have met a poorly skilled technician.

Please I need clarification on this two questions below

1. My mechanic said too much of open the cylinder or bottom of the engine will cause the engine to smoke

2. And to open the cylinder or bottom of the engine when its hot will cause the engine to smoke too

Pls house I need clarification on how true are those assumptions. Thanks

Not sure you've imported anything lately cos as it stands I can see you're still living in 2012. I dont buy cars from mechanics and package them to sell out. This car is neat and good to go anywhere. Check olx to see the value of this car before coming here to comment. I understand nairaland has really giving people freedom of speech but one of the major disease in the country today is ignorance. If you're a professional car dealer that spends money to import a car and buy a good car to sell you'd know this price is okay except you're not. Check some ads below and let me know what you feel as a supposed professional. Also compare the neatness of these with mine that's factory paint and also check the interior and front chassis too.

GAZZUZZ:
I love this thread. OP if car is in lagos no mind all this people, just drive down let me give your car a personal review.

Happy sales

Conner44:
Seriously I don't know how to identify the specific engine type in my hood. I've looked it over and over both online and physically yet I'm lost. I will keep trying to figure it out sha

SINZ:
Rub battery fluid.

Conner44:
so oga in your years of working EOD engine you've not seen one like this my own?

If what you're telling me is true then it means I've bought 'chinko' ivtec engine abi

Chei!! na wah oh

Conner44:
It's a 2004 ivtec vti-ex.

It's possible that my last engine (the one that was in the car when it was bought) has the same configuration like this other one I'm seeing now because I'm seeing a bolt used by the mechanic who changed the engine for me to block/plug the opening on the air hose going to the air filter compartment.

Abi is it that there's an European and American version of this engine? Because the only reason I can think of concerning their differences might be due to emission issues that American specs cars usually have to conform to.

Conner44:
Thanks my Oga I don't think I will blast kazeem too much on this issue ooh

Because I noticed that even on my own engine the hole (space) for connecting whatever that stuff is seems to be closed right from when I bought the engine tokumbo.

as you can see from where my finger rests on the second picture there it's closed shut as if nothing is supposed to be there any Or is it that the hole is usually bored or created by the user because it's like the engine didn't come with the space for that apparatus from factory.

I'm really confused with this discovery I swear. Maybe that's why it's consuming fuel anyhow.

I need more clarification from guys who know this engine intoto

Abeg make una come ohhhhhh

See another shot of the engines of the cars with their manifold cover opened up. As you can see from the pictures (mine is the top one) my own engine doesn't even have the opening that the other one has where that stuff goes into right from the factory.

I'm wondering if there are different types of ivtec engines because I went on Google and yet found nothing about different versions of these engines.

Thanks for viewing this thread.

Please i want you to help me out in this dilemma i found myself.

During my childhood, i am a lazy type that i rarely take my bath twice in a week but one thing i discovered now is that my skin is very wrinkle like that of a 40years old man meanwhile i'm just 18 years old.

Please my skin is irritating, how can i get a pure & fresh skin again?

I'll really appreciate your advice.

Thanks.

bravolad:
The two cars have different target markets. The IS is a luxury model while Cary is just a family sedan. You can't also compare both cars in that Lexus IS is a RWD while Camry is a FWD. Lexus Is comes in V6 engines while the Camry has an i4 cylinder version. It's not an apple to apple comparison.

In terms of running cost, the Camry will be cheaper to run even the V6. The lexus is250 is turned towards sporty drive and will ordinarily consume more fuel than the Camry. Lexus is250 spare parts will be more expensive because is a luxury car.

On the flip side of the story, the Lexus IS250 gives you a better drive experience in terms of performance, aesthetics, comfort and prestige.

Finally, both cars are durable and reliable with a good maintenance culture. If you won't stick to the recommended engine oil and fluids as well as OEM parts, please stay away from any of those cars.

Conner44:
Hi please could someone help me clarify something I just noticed about my accord 2004 i4 engine.

During regular servicing yesterday I was at the workshop when another customer with the same type of car came in. I just saw a difference in our engines and I would like to know why my own engine is missing it.

On the right side of my engine directly adjacent the inlet manifold my own engine is missing an inlet or outlet line going directly to the hose taking air from the air filter.

The below picture is myengine and the top is the other customers engine. I'm pointing to the places that's different on our engines. I also noticed a bolt used to block an opening on my air hose too as seen in the pictures and this was done when I installed a new engine a while back. Please could I know the use of this apparatus and why my engine is missing it's own?

I changed the engine a few years back by the way. Thanks

Bros you and the op are saying the same thing na,which one come be lack credence?

Hybrids are awesome ,the opportunity of having not to waste much money on fuel is a great advantage .But in the engineering world we have a saying “No machine is hundred percent efficient “.And I also have a belief , no matter how awesome a machine is ,there would be some down sides .So what are the disadvantages of hybrids ?,lets find out .

1.INITIAL COST PRICE
Well, this is not a subject of debate , hybrids cost more .Some prices can make you drain your account .So if you are thinking of getting a hybrid , consider the cost.

2. RUNNING COST
From maintenance to replacements,the running cost of hybrid cars is neck breaking.The last I heard the batteries go for nothing less than 300,000 Naira .

3.POSSIBLE ELECTROCUTION
Because the batteries have high voltages ,there could be electrocution most likely when an accident occurs.

4.FLOOD LIMITATIONS
Because of a high concentration of electrical gadgetry , it’s very dangerous driving in a flood .Especially because of the battery .Infact the flood can render the vehicle useless,as I stated earlier ,it has more electrical and electronic components than regular cars ,the water from the flood could cause a short or bridge in the electrical circuits causing a total or partial damage.

5.LESS ENGINE POWER
Because of the small gas engine with and electric side to compensate for it .Most ,though not all hybrid cars , have less engine power compared to regular cars .So if you are looking for speed and acceleration and massive Horse Powers , hybrids are not for you.

Have a point or two to add ?,or do you disagree with any of my points ?.Keep the comments rolling in.

You need not rely on presence of CEL before scanning and pin pointing at the faults. A live data scan is more than important here

Vehicle is still available. Talking about the comments of light and all that I know people don't like sincere sellers, these vehicles uses sensors all over and sensors get damaged but that doesn't make it less a performer than it should be. Some people would cover those light but I purposely posted it for interested buyers to see the true views of the vehicle and I still valued it based on the condition and cost of replacing a vehicle in the country today. I know the vehicle better than anyone else. (People that have money and are willing to buy make offers not just dropping comments that hold no effect). If You're new in this country and don't know the way things have turned out lately then you're welcome but to those that have been here and dropping such comments I know some of you would put this car for 1.3m if I ask you to help me sell it so I'd just ignore some comments. If you don't have money to buy and can't make a reasonable offer kindly pass by. This isn't a post about current affairs or news. If you want to talk go to other sections. To serious buyers out there, the vehicle is good and still available for sale. You would not get the comfort this vehicle provides in a 2005 Camry, ask those that own one or check online reviews.

Kristolite:
Good day everyone. I drive a Camry 2003. I've never had any part of the engine touched or changed any part since I bought it in November 2015. But just last month in December till date, the car Idle is below 500RPM and as a result it makes my engine vibrate a little only if the car is not in motion. Just want to no if this is normal for a vehicle. But aside that, it doesn't switch off even when the ac is on and works perfectly well.

Exponental:
What makes him greedy? If you can't afford this, try elsewhere! If the seller can't get a buyer, he has a choice to review his price or let the car depreciate further....

Olabosipo:
People just come to nairaland to open their mouth and talk like they have no home training. My friend this is a Lexus not your regular jalopy cars. And I know the condition and neatness of what I'm selling that's why I decided to give it the appropriate value. If you can't afford it look for a golf or datsun to buy. I'm not the one damaging the economy and devaluing the naira. By the way, to other serious and sensible buyers that have money for good products, the vehicle is still available for sale.
