See how clear the dash is?
This guy is good abeg!!!No rival in PH.
And this was a truck whose engine was damaged ooo,
I'm wowed honestly!!
Too much dust and oil in the car as it has been in the mechanic for sometime.
Will post pictures after washing.

Ladies and gentlemen, my truck is back.
Sounds super quiet like new again,
Best 300k ever spent .
This ought to be the best mechanic in PH for hilux trucks,funny enough I didn't even follow up the job, I just made a transfer to him and went home to sleep.
Thanks guys,I really appreciate.

Schedule meeting with a dirty riff raff like you? Over my dead body. Carry your dirty energy and go and schedule meeting with your fellow fake drinks sellers, mechanics and agberos for street. Look at the dirty thing that wants me to schedule meeting with him?? Tufia!

lol,that is the engine of my toyota hilux I'm fixing,which I'm sure you can't afford going by the way you are useless here 24/7 picking one yeye fight or the other.
The mechanic you are bashing and claiming they are nothing is actually a young guy( early 30s) that is doing so well for himself,drives a 2013 car(around 4m) ,have a host of boys working under him ,takes care of his family very well and you need to see vehicles queuing up in his shop begging him with money to fix their trucks(company owned cars sef follow.
I'm sure he can't be as jobless,useless and economically worthless like you to have the time to come here and be lazying all day in the name of tbills thread.
I personally payed 300k for him to start working on that engine you are seeing and Isnt done yet.So you see,you and the mechanic no be even mates sef
Btw that's a 2tr-fe engine,the same one in 2016 prados and cost a whopping N1.7m which I know even if you sell your kidney,you can't have.
And the Nike's slippers alone can be your pocket money for 2 months,
Empty drum.
And that's just one of my cars,ode.

.Not really into trading,is wify thing since she left cooperate work.Though I financed it.Is my bro that is into wine in osha.I am a person who find it difficult to sit at a place.So my personalexperience in trading is when I visit wify,bro and friends.

Oh I see.
If you mention your bro name in Onitsha,I might know him.
Yeah trading can be boring,monotonous and unnecessarily competitive.
But it's where we find ourselves, unless something better comes up.

Ogbuu101:
Bro,there is the Abakaliki international market which I'm sure has a wine section and few wine shops scattered all over the town which you can supply.Then there are the night clubs too.
But eee,your turnover won't be so wonderful, na beer we still de guzzle and few ppl buying Hennessey and Red Label.
Umahi's infrastructural drive came at a prize of erosion of middle class.
Na only few govt house ppl,house of assembly members and FETHA(Fed teach hosp) de flex.
But if your prices are good,you could be the only one supplying the whole town.

Okay sure baba,thank you.
I like the fact that people from other towns come to buy from abakaliki,its a good one and it means a lot to me.
I go still go there to go check sha,anytime soon.
If I have more questions I go ask baba.
Thank you.

Lazyyouth4u:
Short dirty boy. Wetin you know? You no go go follow your mates to offload fake drinks from your Oga pick up? Better no let me start with you today. You think say na that small yansh wey dem open wey make you run from that other side? No just try start wetin you no go fit finish o.

To stay and rant online is easy,I no longer do that as I got bigger.
If you want to talk,you can always schedule a meeting and I will honour it if the location is port harcourt.
If you can still keep this energy when we meet then great.

Ogbuu101:
My Oga,sorry for my late response, was in nairaland jail.
Yes,nightlife is picking up in Abakaliki but I feel businesses like drinking joints are a bit saturated though everywhere is usually full most evenings esp weekends.Your Igbo ppl sabi drink naa
Income level is not so good esp now,a graduate earns less than 40k and Dave's patronage circle is very tiny in terms of contracts and govt jobs.
The city is beautiful now,street lighting,good roads etc.
The major towns close to Abakaliki are Ikom and Ogoja in Cross River,the rest are people's villages in Ebonyi state like Afikpo,Onueke etc though Afikpo is the most vibrant of all and the 2nd largest town in d state.Traders from Ikom and Ogoja sometimes get their wares from Abakaliki instead of going up to Onitsha.
Tradesmen in Abakaliki mostly get their wares from Onitsha and Lagos and a few from Aba Ngwa.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask more questions anytime

Thanks baba,
I am actually going there to sell liquor,but not in the open market rather sell to people that own liquor stores,not bars.
Like is there a place or section in abakaliki where could be your one stop shop for anything liquor in abakaliki city?
Like say you want to buy Hennessy, moet ,dom perignon ,etc in abakaliki,where do you go to apart from giant retail outlet like spar,shopritr,etc..
Is there a place like this in Abakaliki?

[quote author=Biafran4life post=100112578][/quote]That was the most stupid thing I've heard today.
Manipulating a stock just by posting stuff on investment thread.
The girl must think too highly of this place,more example of someone living in an ideal(unrealistic) world.
For the girl to stay one place make e mama dey feed am,she no gree. ....
Na to come here dey form oversabi she knows best.
How Aba today my man?You sell market at all today?

ahiboilandgas:
i like controversies...like the fat kid like cake ..

I see...

Ahib again,
Why are you always in the middle of controversies?
Atleast I know my own is because of my doggedness but why you?

I just paid 300k for the repair.
The guy say e go buy crankshaft direct 150k,connecting rods(10k each),piston,rings,metals,oils,grind valve,etc...whatever.
We bargained from 350k and end at 300k.
I am pissed still sha but wetin man go do,my own be say make e work,that's all.
So fingers crossed,he might finish on saturday so I go update the thread when it's done.
Thanks guys,you guys rock.

Them don dey lose am oo ,make we see wetin dey there

nurey:
The onlyv broad reason why the engine is that expensive is because it isn't available in any vehicle sold in US and vehicles as late as 2016 were still fitted with the 2TR, not because it is made of gold and silver.

Exactly,the thing looks too simple for me to accept it's worth its hefty price tag.
But well, reality is always different ain't it?

Engine don come down ooo,I dey look at wetin dem dey call 1.7m for ,I no dey see am.
Make them pieces am now make i see.

id4sho:
Seconded
This was what I did, OP follow this. I've put my thermostat sef and am having a great fuel economy.
I bought my crankshaft (couple back) 120k in jos then. what's the price in Lagos?

I'm in PH.
The crankshaft is 150k here.
He say them go change gasket,seals,bore the block,change piston and rings,then we put proper oils henceforth.
The guy na specialist for hilux here in PH and he does Agip people's truck.
Nnaaaahhhh!!

I've taken it to the mechanic,he is saying crankshaft,rings,piston,gaskets,etc...is what they will change.
Budget 350k
I will do it but he will use his own money to do it first so that if e no work na him loss
Nna money weh I don plan wetin I go use am do finish

9icetoo:
You bought a Nigerian used toyota hilux.
First error.
You may or may not know it has been abused (hiluxes in Nigeria are severely abused) but being a follower and poster on this section of car talk, I believe you knew.
You knew it had oil consumption problems yet you took it on interstate journey with load. Second error.
You may or may not have investigated the reason for the oil loss. If you did not. Third error.
You did not fix the oil loss issue but continued travelling with the hilux and I know you drive hard. Fourth error.
No blame the hilux bros. The writing was on the wall but you failed to heed the warnings.

Contact Trygo for a swap. He just recently swapped in a 4runner engine (cheaper than the hilux engine) into a hilux.

He is the man to fix this problem.

Toyota hilux are not known for oil loss problems. Those trucks are loved and used by militants and terrorists in the most inhospitable regions of the world and serve faithfully. They are the epitome of reliability.

All the best.

Honestly it was just carelessness on my part I swear.
Was just being an idiot accelerating like a crazy person.
Lesson learnt sha.

id4sho:
what model year, engine type?
if it's 4cyl 2tr-fe(tokumbo is expensive ooo).
I ringed mine, 2 years ago and it's still serving me well. almost 300k

Its a 2008,I don't even know the engine type.
I will take a picture and post here when I get to where the thing pack up this morning.
Mehn!

GAZZUZZ:
Rebuild the old engine

It's a steel block and very easy to rebuild.

Cut the crankshaft, install new bearings , buy new pistons and rings, replace valve seals .

Engine should last 600years

Thanks bros,I think it's what I will do,
I appreciate.

GAZZUZZ:
Did you run out of engine oil

Yes,it did.
Will gauge again this morning to confirm.

So guys,good evening.
I got a truck like 3months ago for my business .
It was a used truck.
Have been using it for long hauls since,but I noticed something.Oil problems.
That thing drinks oil like crazy,but it doesnt smoke.
After coming back from calabar today to PH,the thing kaput after climbing a hill.
It still starts but the sound is awful,clanking noises from the engine.
So I am thinking,what could be the problem?
Is the engine dead?
Do i rebuild it?how solid is it gonna be after rebuilding it?
Is it a good thing to do with a hilux?
Mehn ,i cant wait to start buying brand new cars,nonsense!!
Cc gazzuzz,eddee,9icetoo,nurey,timifakay,radautoworks and all other gurus in the house,please help

I just lost my Hilux engine today due to this oil shortage nonsense of a thing!!!
I'd be blowing a lot of money I didn't plan for tomorrow just to fix a 12 year old truck.
Honestly I'm pissed.
Cant wait to buy an electric truck,shit

ethicallyright:
Thanks master.

I'm okay now.

I went home this evening to my lovely mum to spend the weekend with her. She gifted me all the gifts she'd preserved for me.

We drove out and I returned home angry.

Now facts:

My mum is a very beautiful woman in her mid forties. She has a light skin as bright as the skin of a biracial. Definitely a desired milf . She was a hotcake in her youthful days. It's a good thing to have a mum you can show off at a PTA meeting as a child but there's a terrible side to this.

Nigerian men have a thing for these yellow women especially ones with class and treat them as diamonds.

As a child , my mother told me never to get involved with a dark skinned lady. She told me she would never love her. Her words ended "...bring home a beautiful woman like me." That's the extent my mum is obsessed with her looks and skin.

Like I've always informed you, I am a dedicated young man who is focused on becoming an under 35 USD billionaire. I've got 14 years to achieve this. A wife isn't my problem now.

So when I arrived the venue with my mum, we met my coursemate and her mother. They are beautiful ebony women. I haven't spoken to this girl in class before. We've exchanged brief pleasantries a couple of time. She was happy to know I shared something in common with her( the event at the venue) even though I wasn't her friend in school.

She left her mother and came over to tap my shoulder and her large grin was enough to soften a heart of stone. I introduced her as " a classmate and friend". In my mother's interpretation the introduction is that of a "girlfriend and future wife", small me. My mum didn't respond to her greeting politely . The girl's mum also greeted my mum twice, my mum didn't respond too. I felt ashamed.

My mum had so brainwashed me about dark skinned women that I missed many opportunities to get laid in the University where I have spent 4+ years. I only chased two fair babes and avoided dark skinned ones because I didn't want to lead them on as I knew a relationship with them was not possible. One of the dark skinned girls , a fuckinn wealthy girl (her father is bloody rich), in my class broke this barrier I created and became my friend. She obviously wanted us to be more. She even admires my mother and says she'll visit her one day and shower her praises. During such moments I pitied her because she doesn't know the person she wants to show such love hates her for the colour of her skin.

I broke the chains of religious indoctrination. I escaped from an ideological prison of social welfarism so that I can write my story as one of the greatest capitalists in this continent. I have decided to free myself from my mother's cuffs.

When I return to school, I wish I could do at least 5 dark skinned girls with big bumbum for a start. But I'm not a womanizer and wouldn't want to use innocent ladies for my rebellion.

Thanks boss, for checking on me.

Mariangeles , I'm sorry for disappointing you. From the deepest part of my heart.

Oh okay.
Yes indeed,pretty women are usually very shallow,however your mum is not being nice at all.
But I'll tell you one thing,As a man that owns his own bread,trust me family choices will be the least of your worries.
You can do whatever you like devoid of influence,so I'd advise you keep lowkey for now,still fùck those black bitches or date them without introducing them to your parents for now,whenever you become independent you now come out in the open and do as you like.
Think of the things you have to lose if you are not in good terms with your mum for now man,so I think you can't afford not to be in her good books right now,but a time will cone when you can afford to,that's when you strike.
That's how the world works,its always profit and loss in all scenarios ,I approach everything as a business these days ,even relationships!If I am not gaining from you,I am not dating you!But we can fùck sha
Take it easy champ.

ethicallyright:
I think my mum is a very stupid woman with a very low IQ
If my mum rejects a woman, there's a high probability that woman will be the woman I love.

I wish my temper reduces soon or I will strangle my mother to death this night. This way I wouldn't have to worry about who I'll choose

I hate my father too. He's so weak but the lesser idiot .

I'm one lucky chap.

Bleep the mskeujddjdjndjdjxjj

Oga wetin dey do you?
Wanna talk to someone?,I would be very okay giving you audience.
Just a dm away.

Until she use your money train her family,na that time you go get sense.
I don't have a problem with my woman working,just that things I wont tolerate are coming home late or answering work calls in my house.
I no want am at all!!!
When I no dey see you you can work as you like,when you come house I no want hear am.

DrAkpa:
Buhari done show this one shege

lol ,not really...
Breakfast.

2008 Toyota hilux...
My Work truck.
Cold morning today in PH,how are you coping?

Misswrite is one of them.
Would have love to know her more but at some point she jilted me,
No shaking aha,even though I've missed her.

I'm so sorry to hear this,
I can imagine how sad and depressed you might be,especially for someone who is close to the mother.
Take heart nne,you will heal.
RIP to her.
