Honestly need 09 rav Vs 07 highlander comparison
Which one should I go for with reasons
Maintenance
Fuel economy
Repair
Part cost
Durability
Thanks

Family man with cargo, highlander you can do the 4cylinder if you need fuel economy.

Starting life Rav 4 would suffice it is more fuel efficient in the 4xylinder category and the V6 is faster than highlander V6.

Bought on this day,
I just bought the ford truck

American is strong

The international not too sturdy for bad roads, especially the 2X4 body deforms easily and parts are expensive in Nigeria.

We have fleet of the vehicles the predecessor 03 to 11 is very strong but the 12 upwards international has a poor rating to me though our fleet is used for jungle work, those used in city are still strong and doing well

Car Talk › Re: Can I Use A Generator To Start A Car? Car Battery Is Dead by nurey(m): 11:13am On Jun 07, 2021

jmoore:
The car battery is dead. I am just wondering if I can use a generator to start the car. The DC outlet of the generator is 12volts.

Who have tried it before?

Not a good idea as the generator in question doesn't have a stable current. I believe generator normal 2500 generates 220v not 12v but you can charge the battery with the generator rather but plugging the car direct to generator is risky

Do you understand that this car is modded?

Stop saying what you don't know.
An SI keep up with who? With its measly 205 stock HP

Bro, stop....

If you're bringing the weight argument, I've completely removed the back seats, Gutted the interior; removed the interior trim, carpeting.

I have the lightest rims and tyres to make the car as fast as possible, with custom fire exhaust...

I've invested heavily in this car, and I know cars that can give it a beating. I haven't raced one yet all the same

Calm down we ain't fighting bro, you keep talking about HP which only translate to top speed, you aren't talking about turbo kits which gives power in low end torque or high-end torque, you don't even know your current 0-60 times, all that power can only stay on the ground with the required tire and offcourse better Rims.

HP is not a requirement for better performance vehicle did you re-enforce your suspension?

Is the engine re-enforced because I know the CLS chassis can take up to 600hp?

Did you buy corresponding suspension struts?

Nobody is hating that your car is faster than there's but learn to listen and learn from people who have been there and done that.

PEACE

Nurey pls any peculiar problem of Honda civic?

How much is toks for 2008 to 10
And how much can a very clean neatly used cost?

Thank you

No peculiar factory issues if you are buying as tokunbo because the engine had a cracked block issue which when not evident after 4 to 5 years when bought new means such unit is exempted it was only for the US market.

2008 to 10 should start at 1.8m to 2.5m tokunbo

Naija used depends start at 800k depending on transmission, condition and whether it was bought new in naija or came as tokunbo

here we go again.

Ughhh...
That Nissan shitbox has 340 horsepower.
My car came stock with 402HP. I Modded up to 418.
Power to weight ratio has been taken care of, so purlllease.. That car would be DUSTED. They're not in the same category man

Horse power isn't a yard stick for speed or Acceleration there are many factors associated with it.
A stock Honda civic Si coupe with K24A8 engine would keep up with you in a drag race (straight line) and when it comes to a circuit race you will never beat a civic Si whether there is traffic or not.

Your CLS550 has a very good 0 to 62mph and a respectable quarter mile for all that weight I am afraid there is no stock everyday vehicle that will keep up with such machine. Respect sir. Except maybe the Infiniti QX80.

The only CVT Fluid I saw was one germain made brand like that,and they said the 4litres is 15k. They didn't write if it is specifically for only Honda cars. On the label they said it's suitable for Toyota,honda and so on. Don't know if it's okay for me to use.

The replacement fluid is Honda CVT fluid don't buy universal fluid and a litre of original cvtf from Honda should be 5k or more you would need around 8L.

4L first drive 20km or more, drain and refill again with the remaining 4L. If gear doesn't improve you need a replacement transmission

nymphomaniac:
Per the above captioned, 80% of Nigerian Used cars are always having either engine or gear fault. The rest 20% are not in good condition but can be fixed. You will hear talk like “once the car start to give you major problems, just sell am”. Does it mean the person buying it doesn’t like better thing? To make matters worse, serious faults won’t be disclosed leaving the would be buyer vulnerable eventually. Things have to change sha.

Just ranting.

Cc everyone on car talk

Greed on the part of both buyers and sellers example
My accord EOD has smoking engine and flaring gear which doesn't pass gear 3 okay to fix
Complete Engine K24A is around 220 to 250k and transmission is 150k total is
250+150=400k

People would price naija used 500 to 700 saying the car don tey and nigeria road and weather don maga the body and other components.

Remove 400 from 700 you will have 300 left minus workmanship and the rest, the car is worth 250k or less grin

But if I decide to just advertise the car at 550k, saying the engine is smoking slightly without disclosing the gear issue and adding AC needs gas I go see greedy person way no know about car and can't pay Gazzuzz or that mrautofixcool guy inspection money grin

price am 450 to 500k and carry the wahala 4 head guy man go happy.
All humans have greedy tendency just some checks don't enable us exhibit it.

I am currently using honda ATF for my 2006 city. My issue now is that when my car is cold it drives normal,but when i becomes hot it vibrates when i am trying to move from the beginning. But when the car starts moving,it no longer vibrate. And that vibration is only when I am trying to move the car from the beginning while the car has warmed up very well. Please what do I do?

Honda city is either manual transmission or CVT transmission not regular automatic transmission. If you have poured ATF even from Honda into the transmission, you are killing the gear, the replacement fluid is honda CVT fluid

Thanks so much bro. I'm looking at getting an 06 Pontiac Vibe.

1. The body parts is it very much more expensive? Or small and negligible

2. The fuel economy, is it true corolla is better. I'm curious since both uses same engine

3. Is there any fault line known with the Pontiac vibe?

4. What's the re-sell value like compared to corolla, I'm asking this cos it equally more expensive both toks and Nigerian use on jiji and co

Await your response. Thanks

1. Very much

2. Corolla economic better

3. None but for 4wd variant don't buy rusted one axle and 4wd components expensive to replace

4. It is identical in resale value like Corolla as both are identical in parts, reliability and can be used for Uber and bolt

The only major issue in Nigeria is Ford parts are expensive taken a fair share with a navigator but they are solid and mechanics can fix em easily. Buy but be weary of the 4 cylinder engines, I believe the V6 are more reliable

Please which is the recommended MANUAL gearbox oil is recommended for 2006-08 Honda Civic (Japanese spec)?

et al

The recommended fluid is Honda MTF which is a 10w30 oil with special addictive.

Most people who couldn't get used Mobil 424 fluid (never heard of it)

Others used ordinary 10w30 and 5w20 oil just as a temporary replacement for 4months without issues.

If I were in your shoes, I won't think of replacing the oil in the gear box as manual transmission isn't like your regular automatic, the factory oil can last 10 years nothing go do am as manual is mostly gears of metal sliding over each other. But any quality manual transmission fluid from a reputable manufacturer would suffice

The only SUV or rather CUV made by the devil is land Rover freelander first generation, avoid it.

All Mercedes Benz are very okay except maybe the w211 E class 03 to 05 which has SBS issues though can be fixed and S class which is expensive to fix when out of manufacturer warranty.
