Start with buying the proper catalyst for your car and make sure the O2 sensors are plugged in, cleaned and working not just the pot. Check your tires alignment & its compartments, poorly inflated tires can affect fuel economy. Use the right engine oil for your car, not just any oil, have your injectors checked, also have your mechanic change your engine air filter.

If all these dont show any improvements, then i believe your piston rings are worn out. The previous owner probably didnt change oil as at when due or used any oil his mechanic gave him.

But were was all this your sermon when obama was bombing Libya and Syria. Where was your hypocritical sermon when George bush killed over a million iraqis because of WMD(which turned out to be all lies). The bubbling idiot even bombed cats, goats and cockroaches.


Abeg my friend, gettout!

At the time of those wars his voice was in the movies we all grew up to know him by. He was enjoying his fame and the fruits of his labor. As a humanitarian he has donated alot for charitable causes. Throughout his years as the governor of California he did not collect his salary but ordered it to be donated to charity. About $175000 dollars annually. Yet you insult a man that has affected lives directly & indirectly than all the millionaires from your locality combined.

At his age and status as elder statesman this is the right time to air his views on world matters. Mind you he is not Captain planet but one man trying to do what he can to prevent world war 3.

Hyundai's are generally more appealing than KIA. And since most of our tokunboh cars come from USA & Canada, whatever brand sells well over there and has good reviews will be brought here too. 2012 Hyundai Elantra brought success and trust to the brand in the US, its ranked as the most reliable Hyundai car next to Tucson.

Covid 19 has nothing to do with it. Blame it on Banditry, kidnapping & killer herdsmen.

A sports car is built to go round a race track with speed and good handling. They are mostly two door coupes riding low. while Muscle cars are American cars with emphasis on speed/power over handling. They have big V8 engines hence the term "muscle" and they are mostly two door cars but also come in four doors like the Chevrolet Impala. Dodge Charger and the Cadillac CTS. CT5 & CT6 to name a few.

No Olympic biscuits?

You killed and ate an African Civet, hope u belle full?
Nigerians have succeeded in dis-organising the food chain. Must we eat everything? These animals are there for a reason, as pest control and to create a balance in our eco system. Soon this country will be over run by rodents such as rats, because they have eaten all the snakes, cats and other predators that should control their population.

Man or boy... Small boy for that matter!

Abeg make una show some respect to the name; MAN!

2003 Corolla drivers are really reckless. This is due to the fact that most are Commercial drivers in a hurry to make returns, the others drive that way because it burns less fuel than the average 4 cylinder cars and parts are readily available and cheap.

kingreign:
A Chrysler 300 Isn’t a fast car. Except when it has the V8.

That said, the reason why the Corolla was over taken is because the driver is scared or the car has some issues going on with it. A Corolla also has max 160hp and no more than 150ib.ft which is similar power ratings as the Peugeot and it’s an automatic, while the Peugeot is a manual transmission.

An automatic transmission takes so much power.


That said, don’t engage in road racing, a lot of Uyo inhabitants behave like sheep and would rather cross or walk into a road and be expecting you to dodge them or slow down for them.

Bros no vex, Corollas are 130HP. Even the newer models, apart from the 2021 models with 2.0 engines that give out 168HP. In older models only Corolla XRS is 158HP and its discontinued.... No give us false hope abeg.

If only Corollas could even give out 150HP, this story would be dofferent.

The reasons are; Dollar rates and increasingly high custom duties.... Then greediness on car dealers, especially third party sellers.

2012 i bought a 2005 Toyota Matrix for 1.550mill today, 10 yrs later its about 2.2mill.

Take good care of your cars, because the Nigerian economy has now turned a car into an asset, abnormal but true.

My own is why are we calling a dry arid desert a Forest?

Noodles. Why? because there are so many ways of preparing them & i dont have to wait for an hour to satisfy my hunger. its never boring so far as i have the right ingredients, which can be almost anything.

Pool party with everyone fully clothed.... Abeg this is Party by the pool!

Google pool party and see the difference.

The mods should take note. This nonsense should not make FP

You were saying ?? lol...

The average Nigerian is;
1. not patient enough, always in a hurry to no
where.
2. Thinks he/she is too smart, smarter than the
next person.
3. Will cheat his/her way out of any situation.
4. No wan carry last either by hook or by crook.
5. Is an opportunist. Give him/her small chance &
he/her will want to out smart you.
6. Expects gratification for every good deed.
7. Give him/her small power & he/her will want to
use it and gain undue advantage.

Its sad but this sums up todays Nigerian, if you doubt me go to any filling station queue or observe drivers on our usual traffic you will see all these played out.

if we can change this attribute we will say bye bye to corruption and bad leadership. Afterall some of those leaders came out of the average citizen not the elites.

The madness is not in Lagos alone. I have lived in all the major cities & some lesser ones, its thesame. I hope there are atleast one or two saner states left.

These brothers are true warriors. They have fought for their country in all fronts; the ring and the battlefront! True heroes of our time, RESPECT!

Before i buy a car i first check online reviews then ask mechanics about how easy they are to fix and availability of parts. Being a Chinese car all three options will be a pain because the blogs and reviews will be mostly in Chinese our mechanics will know nothing about them and parts will have to be imported. too many grey areas for me to take the risk.

The price of Hilux is high but worth it as it will last you a life time of abuse and hard labor. Tundra's are good work trucks with longer beds. i believe they are even more rugged than Tacoma's. These modern trucks will last twice the years any Chinese trucks will.

It is very possible but it will be difficult to get the parts, and expensive to do, that money will be useful elsewhere.

you will have to bye headlights, tail lights, bumper, maybe fenders & bonnet for the differently shaped headlights. The rear will be reworked by a panel beater to accommodate the rear lights, which are also shaped differently from other Corollas.

is all that upgrade worth the money and stress to you? if yes then good luck finding the parts.

PS. I no be mechanic/ panel beater, abeg dont ask me how much or if i fit do am!

I left my house 5am to buy fuel. I thought i was smart, got to the filling station by 5:30, saw many smarter people who got there by 4am! Well, i joined the queue and waited, finally bought fuel almost 12 noon.

At one point the filling station had three points of entry; the legal line, for people like me who left our homes to queue, the illegal line for another smart set of people who didnt bother joining the queue but created theirs and the VIP line. Those one's dont care, they are either too big, in uniform or can just bribe their way through any where.

If we all had just joined the queue and waited for our turns, everyone would have bought fuel in time. But we rather look for short cuts and believe in out smarting every one else, nobody wan carry last but indirectly that attitude has led the whole country carry last!

But since it's european problem and also a show of power strategy,then they should sort it out themselves

1939, Germany invaded Poland. Some ignorant people said it was their problem, until it became every ones problem when it led to World War 2!

Pray this their problem stays their problem

Corruption, is when one uses his/her position to gain undue advantage, be it cash or kind! Patronising another country's goods & services is not corruption but choice. At most call is unpatriotic but not curroption.

Comparing Nigeria & China is wrong, China has been an industrious trade & producing nation for thousands of years with over 3500 years of written history, the oldest in the world. I am sure you havent heard of the silk road.

Nigeria has the capacity to make good products & deliver good services but the marketing module is wrong and not persuasive enough, that is why people shun them. Due to high cost of production competitive pricing is also an issue. A good cobbler makes a shoe, because its well made he prices it like tested & trusted brands, locally assembled cars are priced as high as International brands. Who wants to buy an unknown brand same price as known brands? Only the rich & Govt.

In the mobile phone industry, when the Chinese broke in they started with cheap phones, Xiaomi had the cheapest all round phones, when they gained ground they started raising their prices, now they have phones as expensive as IPhones, same as Oneplus, Huawei etc Tata in India currently makes the cheapest cars in the world. When Nigerians produce something their target is the rich & government, not the masses. Very wrong marketing, how will they grow?

Upon all their technological feats, China has the highest users of Iphones and also the highest users of Mercedes Benz(google it), does that make them unpatriotic?

If our goods & services are reasonably priced, Nigerians will patronise them, they should start small then gradually increase price as they gain popularity & trust. But they all want instant gains. Xiaomi hardly made profits on their mobile phones for years, now they are world number 4.

Tupac, Biggie came close. But as a teenager i rep the best side & thats the Westside!

Only if his brother is a caveman by going live on twitter has he not already directly or indirectly told his brother?? If his brother doesnt see it wouldnt friends or family members or acquaintances come across this?

This man-boy no get friends or family to talk to na twiiter you carry your family matter go?!

Loneliness leads to depression, depression leads to suicide! This lady's request will ultimately save two lives, hers & probably a lonely male + who has been hiding in his shell.

God will give her the right man and she will find love & happiness.

Igbos are Industrious like Chinese people. If you want cheap quality they will give you, if you want high quality they can equally give you, na your money kill am!

Una sure say Chinese blood no dey una DNA so? I see more of them in you guys than the Jews.

KingAzubuike:
Meanwhile this is the interior of your Maybach Exelero but as per say you know nothing about cars, you'll still say it's better than that buggati interior.

Chai! If you could read, you will see were i said "All that screen in a SClass you will not see in the Exelero or SLR". Pls were did i say anything about being better? I believe arrogance have clouded your sense of comprehension.

Well, i accept, i know nothing of cars just like u cant read!

KingAzubuike:
You don't need it to grow up when it's not made for babies. That's why it's priced at $3M when your Benz can go for $100k. Class is bliss.

Dont get me wrong i wasnt comparing a Bugatti to an S Class. Do not underestimate Mercedes when they want to give Bugatti good competition, dont forget they have cars like; Maybach Exelero ($8million), 2002 CLK GTR $2.8million) SLR Mclaren Roadster ($1.2million), SLR Mclaren Sterling Moss ($3.2 million).

I am a tech guy, automotive tech bring improvements. All that screen in a SClass you will not see in the Exelero or SLR, but that SClass will park & unpark itself when the need arises. I chose the benz over the Bugatti because of its modern useful interior not that bland looking expensive Bugatti interior. Although they make beautiful cars no doubt.

Mind u na Corolla i dey drive o!

Bugatti's interior needs to grow up. The benz is superb, but if u get werey woman, no make am vex inside o!

See as mama fine o. She be like Oyinbo sef.

Well they say money won't buy you health but it sustains Good health.

Adieu Mama.

Her father is an Englishman.

Everything in life has its time. Growth is in stages. The parents of this child has failed to guide this child properly. The child no doubt possesses high level of intelligence & bravery, but unfortunately those two qualities can lead to disaster when not properly harnessed.
