I was just trying to prove to you that the 4.2L was used on the S4, since you claimed otherwise.

And the times I posted are for the C5 A6 na. The Bx generation naming scheme is for the A4/S4. A6 uses Cx.

My point is that the 4.2L V8 Nwanneni posted isn't particularly impressive in any of the cars it was used in. Kpere. There's not a single car that uses that 4.2L that does 0-60 on under 5s. Sure, it's faster than most things on the road, especially at the top end, but it's not a king of the road or anything.

An IS350 or G35 will give it a run for its money without much sweat. It's at 120km/h those cars may start losing.
I didn't claim otherwise I think the mistake was from your end. the vehicle uploaded is a 96 to 2001 audi B5 so if I said the A4 or S4 wasn't fitted with V8 for that year I meant those of that generation 1996 to 2001 also.

probably you should compare it with Lexus and Infiniti of same generation like an IS200 or 300 and Infiniti G20

4.2s wetin. With 340 HP?
I'm pretty sure that's an Audi S4, and it does 0-60 in 5.6s.

Nice but not amazingly impressive.


grin grin
The A4 or S4 for that year was never fitted with a V8

That is a A6 or S6 with 4.2L V8 0 to 62 in 4.2secs

The RS6 with turbo V8 is faster. Let's not forget it's called a sleeper vehicle so don't go chasing waterfall when you jam it on the road.

HeavenlyBang:
Lol, just 340 HP tbh. Impressive but not really that much. I'm more impressed by the fact that they managed to pull that from a naturally aspirated 4.2L back in 2003 without direct injection or anything.
how many turbo charged i4s and turbo charged V6 or i6 can boost 0-62mph in 4.2s?

bad market is when you meet a sleeper vehicle and decide to play rough near it. grin

Now the Car has refused to enter Drive or even Reserve my Mechanic said the Gear Oil Pump has failed.

Please is that correct?
What can I possibly do?
since it's a 2019 voyager, just take the purchase receipt to the dealer. They will fix it under warranty

custom Roms are so cool, fluid and makes your phone standout.

you are right about this but as at March 25th 2019 there was an update on EUI 6.0 based on Android 9 for le 2 x52X

Using the LeEco coolpad cool 1 for sometime now. So I can agree with you perfectly. If no be say the company don fold up, they would have been doing great things... Unfortunately all their phones are stuck on Android 6,no patch or updates... That's the only con of the phone... Apart from that, they finish work
well with Roms you can update to any latest OS. leeco has a great follower just like Samsung. The custom Roms the Le 2 has on XDA is alarming.

how far? I have been following your updates....is the phone worth it? How is the GSM reception?
#
The phone is worth every penny. I have loaded the memory with 25gig worth of files including game.

The battery last me more than a day as I only use edge to browse, I don't switch to 3G except I wanna update apps or download huge files.

I got a screen protector today for 300 but the pouch I saw that was close was for one A6 phone but it was bigger, the close casing that fitted is a no no, blocking the infrared,speaker and finger print. I also got a type C cable usb for 1k, I am keeping the original charger and cable I currently use an Infinix charger and full bar from 0% to 100 is around 2hrs.

The Android 6.0 am not bothered as my last phone S5 too was on 6.0 and the 7.0 I used on my note 2 isn't any different.

The notification drawer is a bit different from others. categorically nobody as said anything about the phone as I don't mingle much with my age mates.

The only con of the phone to me is the colour.i didn't wanna pay extra 5k for grey colour I don't really like rose gold colour.

Car TalkRe: I Want To Quit My Job To Change To A Home Service Car Washer And Laundry Man by nurey(m): 3:43pm On Apr 06, 2019
Lagos island is home to a lot of low income earners who majorly aren't interested in using a top notch expensive service like you are proposing.

Also there are tons of North East migrants who offer such services at a friendly price and off course they are closer to home. This services are done manually without machines which majority prefer because hand washing is cleaner and protects fabric more than washing machine.

Your business can still move if you have something remarkable you are bringing to the table something you will offer that the competition won't.

now ikoyi, VI and lekki would be different but the cost of owning a shop, marketing and advertisement may not be feasible for such services.

but maybe you can start your trade at ajah
Car TalkRe: Kindly Help Choose Between VW Sharan, Ford, Seat, Etc by nurey(m): 7:56pm On Apr 05, 2019
olenyi:
Good day house.

Please kindly help me out with a detailed explanation with regards to
1. Fuel consumption.
2. Durability.
3. Spare Parts availability and
4. Technical know how of our local mechanics

Of the below vehicles:
1. 1st generation Sienna.
2. VW Sharan.
3. Ford galaxy.
4. Alabama.
5. Alhumbra.
6. Seat.
7. Renault. (and any other vehicle with similar shape and capacity, driver and 7 passengers Max)
Can't state the model years please.
All automatic transmission.

If put for commercial use with a view to maximizing profit and minimal stress of ownership.

Which will you choose please.

My warm regards.

, etc
ford galaxy, seat Alhambra and VW sharan are identical.

the sharan has a 1.8L turbo engine which i think alhambra and galaxy lack.

please stay away from the 2.3L 4cylinder engine. any other engine in the lineup is ok

i dont know about the renault but i think any one that looks like opel zafira and shares part with it is OK.

The sienna too is ok but the sharan lineup are more fuel efficient but the aienna beats them in confortability and cargo capacity.

so depending on your commercial distance target will determine the vehicle and engine type to utilize.

eg i wont use a sharan 1.8L turbo for lagos to kano jorney regularly because
1. it will be under powered for such long journey with all those load.

2. its a 4 cylinder turbo it will break earlier and loss hp than a V6

3. cargo challenge due to size and suspension setup.

also i wont use a sienna for ajah to Epe
1. it carries same passenger as an honda shuttle or opel zafira but has less fuel economy.

2. most passengers plying the route have no luggages so no extra income from luggage hence waste of cargo space.

3. i spend more in registration, maintenance and fueling than those usibg smaller vehicles

How much did the leeco phone cost including shipping?
36k

but i still prefer the A3 pro to it, this one has no memory card slot and the OS is 6.0 but if u are good with roms and can live without memorycard slot (inbuilt is 64gig) then it isnt bad.
THE IR blaster will ensure i prank chicken republic and offices. grin

my leeco too just dropped sorry to derail but i can actually see that we are paying exorbitantly for some other products.

The camera is sharp, the build quality is pampampam, the design is iphone copy grin and the screen is actually crisp than i expect.

the pros are just too bam and the functions and specs are just too unbelievable coming from samsung and rom flashing. The nonsnse been sold at computer village is too expensive for A3 pro specs just hold 50k plus even if nah itel or solo do am.

younglawya:
Hello guys . I currently drive a 2007 Camry . Been driving it for 2 years haven’t reqlly had issues but wear and tear is gradually happening and I want to change it . I’m looking at the following cars

2008 BMW 3 Series

2007 Toyota Avalon

2008 Infiniti FX 35

2007 ML 350

2013 Honda Accord

I need a car with a reliable car with good handling that won’t have very expensive and scarce parts or require very specialist mechanics . any advice ? Which is a total No No here .
BMW E90 is opposite of your points, high maintenance and expensive parts

toyota avalon ship highly ok but looks odd when bern driven by owner instead of been chauffeured around.

Infiniti FX35 is ok but body parts are killing, blindspots while driving, an expensive vehicle to maintain too

ML350 is on fast CUV with a badass turning radius. confama leather seats and it has a self diagnosing screen same as the FX, parts arent as expensive as the fx also doesnt break apart easily.

The 2013 acvord is the most appropriate upgrade to the camry. it wins the competitors in so many ways and the V6, hmmm power on demand

there was no GS300 for 07 to 2010. i think right about then the gs had a facelift too. so no much difference between 08 to 2010.

Experts, please what are the similarities and differences between Pontiac vibe and Toyota corolla?
similarities
1. same manufacturer made them toyota corporation

2. both have same engine year for year

3. both share identical parts to around 80 to 100%

4. both are boring to drive and bland interior

differences
1. corolla is a thief 1st choice, robber magnet and vandals easy cash in. The vibe is not favored by them

2. pontiac body parts are expensive than corolla

3. the corolla is a sedan while the vibe is an hatchback

4. year for year the vibe should be a better drivers car than corolla it comes standard in majority with rear disc, 4WD, sporty look and good drag coefficient.

other minor differences are in trim levels

Hello all, so I was watching a live auction yesterday and I saw this car deal which appears cheap. Its the highlighted Corolla in the image below.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/9099895_screenshot20190401164622882com_iaai_android_pngc866c173361a67d8392a3b9f082ad149

So, it was bought for $550 before charges and taxes, putting charges at $200, it sums up to $750, if trucking forklift and other expenses amount to $1500, so with about the $2300 as an approximate the car will be at Tincan port.

The above cost is just a guess and not a certainty.

if you are in lagos you can get original at idumagbo in lagos island.

prices start from 15k to 45k depending on inches and effizy then fan came with. Lontor isnt the best there are a lot of makers that are original there.
mine has only 1 battery and light, lontor has 2 batteries, there are some with water container and they blow like AC also the higher the blade diameter the more expensive it would be.

if you dont mind minor gridlock and paying 500 naira for parking then head to idumagbo in lagos island. you can also take public transport
