Car Talk / Re: Forensic Analysis Of Ocholis Accident by Ricmayak1: 9:49pm On Mar 08, 2016
Drgreatone:

Its the other way round,under inflated tires worsen ur mpg while overinflated av an increased risk of blowing out...buh then i may be wrong smiley)
Yeah! You are right to say you may be wrong. Under inflated tires overheats which causes blowout. Although, over inflation causes tire deformation, reduced braking, it is not as dangerous as under inflation.

1. it has a high centre of gravity and is more susceptible to rollover if something goes awry e.g a blowout.
2. the number of occupants had no factor in the event.
3. those that survived (driver) had their seat belts on and were restrained during the somersaults. those who didn't have their seat belts on were thrown about like ragdolls.
4. VIP convoys in Nigeria drive like they have a death wish. they constantly violate speed limits and leave very little room for error with their manner of driving hence the high casualty figures whenever they get involved in an accident. they may have been travelling at over 140km/hr.
5. anything could have burst the tire e.g pothole, manufacturers defect, over inflation, road debris e.tc. my bet is on over inflation.
6. occupants who didnt have their belts on were flung out. accidents do not respect persons.
7. traction control, abs and co won't do shit in a blowout. your presence of mind, calmness, speed of thought, lady luck and skill as a driver will see you through.
8. only forensic (which we lack here) can tell that.
9. I doubt it was overloaded. he had several other cars in the convoy to carry stuffs.
Under inflated tires are more dangerous than over inflated tires.

Car Talk / Re: Front Left Camber 2005 Corolla Sports Changed 3 Times In 2 Months by Ricmayak1: 5:25am On Feb 27, 2016
Hope the replaced parts were not fake new bushings. If so, they lasted well. You can try original used one.
As someone earlier mentioned, major chassis work due to accident may have been done.
Wrong strut length especially if the left and right ones are not the same will put excessive stress on the camber bushing.
The wheel might have excessive toe-out/toe-in relative to the second wheel. Check your alignment.
Excessively wobbled tire on that wheel or severely unbalanced tire will stress your camber bushing.

Because of very early damage, concentrate on getting original used one and checking your chassis and other suspension components specs.
Regards.

The man is suppose to own different brands. By that, he will be exposed to other brands innovations and can improve his own. He will be able to compare performance like comfort, power, handling, safety and the list goes on and on.
It's just so easy to criticize.

Car Talk / Re: Auto Or Manual Car As Taxi? by Ricmayak1: 3:34am On Jan 25, 2016
Assuming the person who will drive is a good driver, manual transmission is better. If otherwise, it will be costly using manual because some drivers overuse low gears increasing fuel consumption. Some can easily damage the clutch or the gear itself in short/long term.
If you have been in a car which the driver is skillfully poor, you will understand. The funny part is they don't even know it, they abuse better drivers and they don't listen to corrections.
For this category of drivers, put yourself on the side of safety by acquiring auto tranny drive. Though this kind of driver will still have problems with when to use Park, neutral, various drive gears appropriately.
Best regards.

Obijulius:
Nupes are the most peaceful and accommodating tribe in Nigeria. Only God knows the level of provocation they must have endured doing this.

The Yorubas should realise that they are guests and must live according to the rules of their hosts.

I love the Nupes for their renowned peaceful and accommodating nature. Please let's learn to respect them.

God bless you abundantly. Amen.

Car Talk / Re: Fuel Saving Tips On Manual Transmissions. by Ricmayak1: 7:02am On Dec 10, 2015
chuka5000:
I have a corolla 08 manual and its gat the fuel liter/kilometer meter.
whenever I change gear at 2000rpm it consumes more than when I shift at 3000rpm.
reason being that its more stress on the engine.
all cars ain't same bro.
cos my Honda v6 does exactly the reverse.

It depends on the gear and speed at which you are doing the gear change.
Just think more of pumping losses. It might explain this.

Best regards.

Car Talk / Re: Fuel Saving Tips On Manual Transmissions. by Ricmayak1: 3:06am On Dec 07, 2015
Manual transmissions are suppose to be more fuel saving. From my observation, reverse is the case due to poor driving skill. Some drivers are guilty of gear overuse on normal driving conditions.

Smart use of coasting and idling on motion is a good way to save fuel with manual transmission.

Early gear upshifts and overdrive use that is skillfully done can save fuel.

On descends, you may start off with second gear.

Unnecessary depression of clutch pedal should be avoided. Simply engage the appropriate gear for that speed so that when braking, the car can coast rather than idle.

Do not rest your left foot on the clutch pedal while driving.

Do not over guage the manual transmission fluid during maintenance.

Note:!!! Avoid turning off the ignition/engine to save fuel. It is very dangerous!

Best regards.

Scan with a dedicated toyota scanner e.g. Techstream.
If its not pointing straight to the fault, check the CAN communication.

They should be on the field monitoring and not rely on masses report alone. Filling stations selling far above stipulated price in towns were DPR offices are.
I am sure that they know the rates at which many stations sell. Getting to work is the problem hence, all sort of delay tactics and excuses.
