Car TalkRe: Honda Odyssey Engine Constructed In An Honda Accord 2003 V6 by snipesdam(m): 9:45am On Aug 16, 2017
Its not entirely a bad idea. Provide the job was very well. I know a car Toyota Crown I6 engine which was bad and an I6 engine of Cressida was mounted on it and the banjo changed to fit the gearbox.

I still admire the sound and HP of that car. This was done over 15 years ago and my dad friend still uses it till date in PH. The car is awesome.

Also my uncle bought a Mitsubishi Galant which had a bad engine V6 @ TINCAN few years back seller gave him it a choice to install another engine for free. A hyundai engine toks engine was installed and he used it for 6 years no issues with engine. Infact i loved it.

So if an engine swap can be done without any problems. You may go ahead.

Na so one sienna V6 wan challenge me last saturday dusted his ass.

But i wish to find a guy whom was doing over 180km with corolla 1.6 2015 model. We met along sapele road to benin when i was doing 140-160km and i wasn't really in the mood for speed because it was raining and the road was really wet. This guy was really pressing that pedal to the metal even @ rough part of the road that needed gentle driving, though i wasn't chasing him though. I let him pass and passed him again @ check point. But i then knew that guy was a speed demon when i was almost close the benin bypass which was my route and i saw him behind my rear mirror behind other cars flashing his lamps while manoeuvring. I thought this guy wouldn't catch up i guess i was wrong me doing 140 @ the moment ,his just blazed and passed me this exhaust trumpeting echos in the air i shook my head in amazement and enter bypass.

Soon i wish to buy a short ram intake to boost my HP for my corolla 1.8 been studying some videos.

If that guy is a nairalander i wish to meet him. This was on the 25/06/2017. He's wears a beard

Car TalkLexus Undergoes Its Own Transformation by snipesdam(op): 10:19am On Aug 01, 2017
The UX concept will be the basis for cross over in 2019 or 2020 model


Lexus is undergoing its own transformation with the move to a new modular platform known as GA-L, for Global Architecture-Luxury. The transition of all of its unibody vehicles to the new platform gives Lexus the opportunity to deliver on promises to offer sportier vehicles that it says represent the future of the brand.

The first Lexus to roll out the new architecture was the new LC500, a nearly $100,000 halo coupe. The second is the LS flagship sedan. But GA-L will find its way onto more affordable vehicles, beginning with the NX crossover and the coming all-new UX subcompact crossover. Lexus' commitment to a sportier identity will come through as existing models are re-engineered onto GA-L and the brand has the opportunity to offer "F" performance packages on more models.

CT/UX: The entry-level CT compact is discontinued for the 2018 model year, which is not a surprise since the words "hybrid" and "car" are unfashionable in today's market. In its place will come a subcompact crossover based on the wild UX concept, for the 2019 or 2020 model year. The UX will ride on Lexus' version of the Toyota New Global Architecture, or TNGA, found in the new C-HR. That means that the UX will start life on a modern chassis with room for fine tuning, and perhaps a performance version beyond the styling elements of the F-Sport.

IS: Refreshed for the 2016 model year and not doing great on the sales charts, the compact sedan is likely to remain mostly unchanged until it is redesigned in 2019 or 2020 onto the new global platform. For 2018, the IS 200t with the turbo four-cylinder engine is renamed the IS 300. Models with the V-6 get five more hp. The IS 350 F-Sport package gets a limited-slip differential.

ES: The midsize sedan received a light refresh for 2016 along with its Toyota sibling, the Avalon. Both are produced in Georgetown, Ky., along with the closely related Camry that was redesigned on the TNGA platform. The Avalon is next to move to TNGA next year and the ES follows around the same time to Lexus' GA-L. Styling for the slab-sided ES should get a major workover. Changes for the 2018 model year are limited to trim packages and infotainment.

GS:​ Refreshed for the 2016 model year, the base 200t gets a name change to the GS 300. All models get infotainment updates. The GS-F performance model also carries over with few changes. Like all unibody Lexus, the GS is in line for a move to the new GA-L architecture once its current lifecycle is over in 2019 or so.

LS 500: The redesigned flagship sedan goes on sale early next year with lots of new stuff, including a more stylized body, a new twin-turbo V-6 engine and a ready-to-go F-Sport package. There's also a new hybrid drivetrain. It seems like a full F performance variant is a no-brainer for a company that wants to compete with the sporty Germans.

RC: The two-door coupe was new for 2015 and carries over with minor changes for the 2018 model year. The RC 200t is renamed the RC 300. Models with the V-6 engine get five more hp. The navigation screen grows to 10.25 inches from 7 inches with the new Enform infotainment system. On its current lifecycle, the RC is up for a refresh for 2019 or 2020. It could be redesigned onto the GA-L platform in 2021.

LC 500: The halo coupe is all-new for 2018 and off to a solid gallop with more than 400 units sold in June. It is also the first Lexus on the new global platform and surely the best-looking this side of the limited-edition LFA supercar that inspired it. Blessed with the 5.0-liter V-8 from the RC F and GS F, the halo coupe is expected to put some further distance from its lesser siblings by eventually getting an F variant with a forced-induction ​version of the V-8.

NX: The segment-leading NX is freshened for 2018 with updated styling, interior touches, a new infotainment system and safety features. The NX 200t gets a name change to NX 300. With its RAV4 sibling moving to the new TNGA architecture as part of a redesign next year, the NX will likely make its move to the GA-L counterpart in time to debut as a 2020 or a 2021 model.

RX:​ With a full redesign for the 2016 model year, Lexus' top seller carries over for 2018 with updates to its Enform infotainment and more available amenities on the base model and the hybrid. Looking at a typical six-year cycle, the next generation could show up in 2021 unless it jumps to GA-L sooner. The RX looks like a good candidate for full "F" treatment, which would send a powerful message to sporty segment rivals such as the BMW X5 and Audi Q5.

Look for a promised three-row RX — badly wanted by dealers — to appear at an auto show by the end of the year and on sale in 2018.

GX: Based on the 4Runner, Lexus' midsize body-on-frame SUV is getting long in the tooth, with its last refresh in 2014. It continues, however, to ride the trend toward light trucks. Perhaps only a shift in that trend will push Toyota/Lexus to update the model beyond updating some seat materials for 2018. Assuming a decadelong cycle for the chassis, look for a new GX in 2020 for the 2021 model year. Maybe.

LX: Lexus actually outsells the Toyota version of this body-on-frame Goliath, the Land Cruiser, in the large premium SUV category. Both were freshened for 2016, with the Lexus getting the big spindle grille. For the 2018 model year, the Lexus carries over with some Enform infotainment updates. A redesign could come with other body-on-frame platforms, such as the Toyota Tundra pickup. The Tundra is due for a new generation in 2019 or 2020.

Car TalkRe: Whats The Most Unused Accessory In Your Car. by snipesdam(op): 6:45pm On Jul 21, 2017
greenhulk:
@op, the rear windshield demist button is very useful and I use it a lot. very useful if u have to drive early morning say around 5am when mist ha taken over ur rear window. just turn it on and within a few mins ur rear window would be very clear. Also useful while driving at night during hamattan season.
If your AC is On, it does clear any mist on all glasses. So why use rear demist.

However, there is one thing i have learnt lately. When you drive in the rain and the car has no AC but the fan works. Set the air flow directly to the Front Windscreen and turn the fan to 3 or 4 speed. This does assist to clear mist rather that using a piece of cloth to wipe your windscreen while driving in the rain. Also note that this function is recommend to be used with Air Flow coming from outside. But i recommend using the air circulation in the car, because hot air will be drawn from the vents outside the car close to the engine bar and would cause more mist .

Not a gift in my case.

I am a researcher on Astrophysics, Quantum Dynamics, Spirit Science, Metaphysics and Classical Physics, Archeology and Occult. I studied very hard for so many years about God and the Universe.

I do not recommend that anyone delve into my kind of research except you really need to know the truth. And the truth is going either make you depressed or very happy.

Human Beings are not what we think we are. These beings we call demons, aliens etc are actually a part of the world we live in today and they are with us all the time. It is just that our 5 senses were designed with limited capacity to perceive the visible UV spectrum of light and energy. Even though there are 24+ colors in the complete spectrum which we call dark matter and energy, which these beings are made of, we still believe what we do not see do not exist instead of acknowledging the fact that our capacity to know the universe using the 5 senses is limited.

Our physical senses are limited, it is not that these beings do not exist, we should admit that our capacity to meet them is limited. They are way more advanced scientifically than us. They designed us, they watch over us and the bad guys among them can fucck us up big time. They are part of the Universe and strongly so. For some of them, we are their energy and food source. Just like cows and horses are our food and energy sources. We are not top of the food chain, we are a link in the food chain. I hope you understand that.

I have to stop here for now.
You Speak of Einstein's Condensation here. In which we can only see these beings using high UV Spectrum of light. If you have really studied these extra terrestrial beings. In what state of matter do they exist? If they exist under Einstein condensation theory then i believe one would have developed a UV Spectrum which would be common us to use and explore our world more.

There is a fine line between Science and Supernatural. There many unanswered question about our planet earth. We didn't come into existence through a big bang.
Car TalkWhats The Most Unused Accessory In Your Car. by snipesdam(op): 12:22pm On Jul 20, 2017
In Every car One has that special toy you often used when driving while there are a few button you really haven't touch probably ever since you bought that car. Come in and name yours.

For Me Most Used.

1. The Window Buttons.
2. The Radio.
3. AC switch.

Most Unused Buttons.

1. The Rear Windshield Demist Button: I wonder if that thing really works. Its quite a useless button to me when i don't have rear wipers. Anyway the AC does the job.
2. The Lock All Windows Button: I don't usually use this button often, i only remember to use it when bae is riding with me and says the AC is too cold next thing she rolls down the window. Thanks to that button i just lock the window and keep driving while she complains and shut her side of the AC vent.

If you have that accessory or button you've never tried to push. Come in and tell us why.

Car TalkThe New Mercedes S-class Drives Off The Assembly Line – Without A Driver by snipesdam(op): 11:11am On Jul 20, 2017
I am happy to share that the first units of our all-new 2017 S-Class sedans have been assembled in our plant in Sindelfingen, Germany. And shortly after coming to life, one of our flagships was already pushing boundaries in driver assistance and automated driving: For the first time ever an S-Class self-drove off the assembly line. In a pilot test, it then drove itself about 1.5 kilometers to its on-premise parking lot without a human supervisor behind the wheel.

Watch this short video to see more:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8fCFltBkZw

This experiment also showcases that the digitalization of our entire production process is making good progress. We are even checking out new ways to use a car’s assistant systems – before they are handed over to customers - as an integral part of the assembly process.

It also underlines that we see opportunities to use artificial intelligence to efficiently support our employees so they can focus on the more productive and challenging tasks.

With this successful experiment, the new Mercedes S-Class once again reinforces its role as the benchmark in automotive safety, comfort, intelligence and innovation. And with its built-in driver assistance systems this S-Class takes yet another huge step toward autonomous driving.

Kudos to the entire S-Class team for making this new vehicle a reality!

I'm looking for Non- directional W rated tyres minimum production date 2014.

First tyres I got were very good continental tyres with good thread marks, but I was not satisfied, I can do better.

Also got a spare tyre to go with them

Time for that VSA warning.

A scan of the vehicle revealed an error with the steering angle system, although it is clearly stated that there was a recall issue, I was not sure what parts were replaced during the recall.

So first thing I did was a live scan to see actually what was happening.

With the scanner connected, the steering angle is stuck on 0 degrees and does vales do not move when steering is turned.

There is also a permanent code that reuses to go when erased. .

I opened up the steering and replaced the steering angle sensor to see if the problem would be fixed

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5648328_img20170710185107_jpegdf66c53bc3214f0823ff79df7cde3033

But taa, the error code was still there.

Let me briefly explain how the steering angle sensor works and what it does.

The steering angle system consists of a pulsar plate with markings at 2 points, and a sensor that reads the markings.

The module that controls the system, is also same module that controls the anti lock braking system, and it is found on the front right of the car just by the power steering pump.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5648338_img20170713155547_jpeg04451f3a9b855d8a9ceb74e828d174ba

Working from easy to hard, I am now faced with replacing the ABS pump which also doubles as the VSA module.

For this I took a trip to onyigbo (yaba) and hooked up with a great man called luvinhubby wink

I explained my current predicament and he handed a me a sharp toks ABSpump.

Without taking out the brake pipes, I extended the harness to the new part, went into the car and started it.

It was like magic, no more warning lights cheesy

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5647789_img20170713155501_jpeg70a3e8209d9f8032e4f2cff42f7a6874

www.nairaland.com/attachments/5648336_img20170713155550_jpegfaf842a96bd1eebb9e40a2aca00754d4

Impressive results. I connected my old one back and put the new part in the boot.

I bought some other honda parts from him and went back to the workshop.

I removed the old pump, installed the new one, this was a great opportunity to flush out the old brake fluids and install new fluids, so after the installation I bleed the system with dot4 ATE fluid.

Next was to reprogram the new ABS/VSA system to the vehicle, it went seamless, and I am done.

The drive home was fantastic, no more warning lights.
