What do you get in city?

king406:
19mpg going light on the throttle, about 17 when i race myself from traffic light to traffic light

HeavenlyBang:


That's very interesting, since I'm typically getting 11mpg.

May be time for a tune up.

He mostly drives in Abuja, roads have 10 lanes
and traffic alien to him

HeavenlyBang:


That's poor economy for a Corolla. There are plenty possible reasons for that, though.

9icetoo:

Come and achieve that in Lagos. I dare you.

king406:
something is definitely wrong. What year is yours?

HeavenlyBang:


07 with the VQ35HR.

king406:
probably transmission difference then.

HeavenlyBang:


Yeah, the 7 speed is supposed to be a big upgrade for fuel economy.

king406:
still, 11mpg is abysmal.

HeavenlyBang:


It is. I get 21 mpg highway, though.

king406:
you should be getting around 24mpg highway. Get a tune up, even a GTR wont average 11mpg city

I'm planning on the following:
1. Completely decating the car,
2. De-carbonize the engine,
3. Replace ALL fluids in the car.
4. Detail, buff and wax it.

Next month's plan.

king406:
nice, how do you plan on decarbonizing the engine?

I hope to do the following by the end of this month;

1. Repair passenger side fender
2. Replace front bumper with sport bumper
3. Install OEM style spoiler
4. Install axle back exhaust
5. Debating on installing lowering springs and 19 inch black wheels, or just paint the rims black and call it a day.

I'm not the one in the picture.
I'm the one behind the camera.

My Lexus came in from Massachusetts, not a patch of rust underneath.

Please, review a 2006 G35 sedan.
Im thinking of a small but highly capable city/highway sedan and I'm thinking infiniti G35 2006 or Volvo S60 with turbo engine 04-06.

Heavenlybang, Nurey, Chukel, I made this post last year, and never thought I'd actually buy it because I always saw them as a black sheep of the family.

Now, here I am with one...

AmericanDad:


Yes I did. The transmission burns out easily..the engine is too powerful for it even Scotty kilmer on youtube says the same thing. Toyota all the way jare

king406:

AmericanDad:
Your mechanic loves you. Nissan makes terrible and less durable cars. They become serious money pits as they age. I had a terrible experience with them and will never buy another. Toyota all the way

chukel:
his calipers are sticking.

king406:

HeavenlyBang:


They aren't, I've checked.

I just noticed the Carfection sig. You're a fellow Henry Catchpole fan?

king406:
