Siena:
[color=Blue]With all due respect, I will tell you this.

I have carried out automobile modifications here in the UK, that have been magazine featured by:

GTI Special #6.
Fast Car.
Performance VW.

Now when you modify cars in the Western world, these cars MUST have independent inspection, and once passed, will be issued with an engineer's report. This means the vehicle is deemed safe for use on public roads. Without these, you couldn't get the car through an MOT test. Meaning you couldn't register the car or tax it. Also, you would NOT get insurance.

All my cars pass inspection, despite very little remaining of the original cars. My modifications are safe, and functional. Just like my current 2 projects will be.

Here are some extracts from Fast Car Magazine. This was built in 1997, and went through 3 paint jobs, and 2 engine transplants. I won't give any more details, it's all perfectly legible, if you care to read:

now what is your take on that keke thing ...what I expected from them is to make suggestions on how it can be bettered instead they wrote it off


it pisses me off.. so what's your take

Rose2014:
1st class citizen indeed Yet they don't want Biafra
It's sad, to say the least smh

when I was small I used to watch new masquerade a drama by zebrudaya and jegede sokoya

jegede can brag so much and he ends up doing nothing

thats their way ..so ignore the sophisticated first class ones

get used to them

holusormi:
Bros, apologize to the man Siena!!! .... Don't make a fool of yourself anymore , just throw in the towel and let peace reign

Siena is my man any day and I am not quarrelling with him to be honest and I like his approach what I do not like is the people calling others down

to be honest if we can have a start like this it will be good . I am just tired of the high western consumerism's of Nigeria . we need to start doing things

I think it's people like you that make fool out of yourself by doing the herd mentality

why use that term fool.

Abidjan Ojuiku of cursed memory is the only coward general of the federation. Buhahahaha. Make i laugh...

Nwanne meere ndi a ebere biko

*hands him a glass of cold water*

one thing I detest about them is their bragged attitude without any content

look at him claiming 1st class citizen

nna ndia ike ha gwuru madu

ha na etu onu too much

nwanyi oma after they claim this and that yet their villages are desolate

Melancholy:
well it obvious that u resort to prattle talk which is becoming running a mill job as to black being inferior to whatever white people make, aint u tired of shooting urself in the leg when the raison d'etra of this thread is to appreciate a unique tricycle made , cant u respect urself and compliment him for putting his resources together to make a slight changes, to u sitting in ur comfy nut to berate him.

my brother these Nairaland so called acclaimed car guru ..I am yet to see their engine drawing where students in unizik and unilag are producing cars


give up on em...I have done that ages

FlintGuevara:
Quit committing appaling false dichotomy fallacy online. Siena ia no arm chair critic, he is worth his weight in gold when it comes to automobiles. I have been silently following his various automobile projects here on Nairaland. I may not be an auto guru, but I wouldn't let a village clown take a ride in that Kazeem modified metal contraption. Can the contraption you posted above successfully climb an eight inches high speed bump? Quit praising mediocrity.

defender if the universe ...let him show us his creation I will respect that ... I encourage people not one but down talk down Like you

YerYer:
This isn't an issue about GEJ or Buhari!! You can call GEJ clueless or fisherman all you want, you can call Buhari snailbaba or President Buhari all you want, but be respectful of the Office of the President. Free speech has its limits

when a dullard is in helm of affairs what respect would you accord the office

it's stupid

Yoruba are just like that always two faced
ain't new

YerYer:
It seems like no Nairaland comments section will be complete without somebody poking jokes at the president or depicting him in caricature. While this is indicative of our progress as a democratic society, sometimes however, it seems a bit much. Many of us may think we are just another username online so therefore we can post insensitive comments we wouldn't post if were to use our real names and real pictures. Don't run loose in this false sense of anonymity, these politicians have in their arsenals some of the best hackers and can fish out anyone if they are very determined to do so. I'm not saying you shouldn't exercise your freedom of speech, i'm all for that, but just be mindful of how you portray others online.

when they called Jonathan clueless u did not say this now Daura President is here

ChelseaDr:
The Senator representing Lagos West Senatorial District, Solomon Adeola, said on Friday that the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, was wrong in his comparison of the activities of Boko Haram insurgency during the former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and the bomb blasts recorded in some parts of the country recently.

Adeola, in a statement by his Media Adviser, Chief Kayode Odunaro, in Abuja, also said Ekweremadu should not play partisan politics with the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks in recent times.

The deputy president of the Senate, had, on Thursday, expressed concern over the current spate of Boko Haram attacks in the country at a “time that government should be talking of a redevelopment plan to rebuild the North-East since the last administration had almost rolled back the insurgency before handing over on May 29.”

But Adeola described Ekweremadu’s comparative narrative on the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks as reported in some newspapers on Friday, as a partisan mindset of one playing politics with insurgency.

He said, “It is very worrisome that Senator Ekweremadu, who has been a presiding officer of the Senate under the PDP administration since the inception of Boko Haram about six years ago, will expect the insurgency that his party and PDP administration could not resolve to be eradicated by Buhari in six weeks.

“I believe his comparison of recent attacks under Buhari with that of outgone Peoples Democratic Party administration is informed by partisan considerations of exonerating the PDP from the mess left behind by 16 years of PDP rule.

“It is regrettable that Senator Ekweremadu could come to the conclusion that Boko Haram insurgency has worsen in the last few weeks in comparison to thousands of civilians and military lives lost, destruction of communities as well as the national agony and ordeal of the yet to be resolved missing Chibok girls under the PDP administration.”

Adeola noted that what should be paramount on the minds of all Nigerians now is how to put an end to the insurgency permanently which, according to him, was not going to be an overnight assignment.

He added that Buhari and the security agencies were already working out strategies to curtail the focus of Boko Haram attacks on “soft targets” in recent times.

The senator said the insurgents resorted into bombing when it was obvious that the military had weakened them in the battle field where they hitherto had territorial control.

Haa too long a list. I still love manual, sha

Do you remember when you first learned how to drive stick shift? We sure do! It was a magical time, coupled with a moment of triumph when you realized that you could hop in and take off. Do you remember practicing at every stop, priding yourself on a flawless, smooth start? Do you remember how it felt while accelerating hard to throw it into 3rd and feel the speed gather around you? The fact is, if you ever learned how to drive stick, you have experienced these sublime memories

20 Reasons We Should All Drive Manual Cars

1) So You Know How to Do It When Abroad

If you’re reading this and you’re in North America, driving a manual is weird. But in most countries, it’s commonplace. If your own car is a manual, driving abroad is the same. Even if the car is right-hand drive, the gearbox and pedal setup are the exact same. Plus, if you ever run The Amazing Race, you’ll be prepared. No losing the million bucks just because you can’t get into first gear.

2) Better Fuel Economy
You get better MPG’s simply by driving a stick. The transmission weighs less (weight savings = fuel savings), you go into neutral between shifts (little fuel used), and you can coast to stops.

3) The Self-Starting Car!

Have a weak battery and don’t want to replace it?? No problem! Just park atop a hill and give the car a rolling start. Then pop it into gear and kablamo, your car runs! Just remember to always park on top of a hill. P.S. this will get old quickly so buy a new battery. I hear Costco batteries are fantastic.

4) Keeps You from Dying

You’re feet move and your arms move so you don’t get cramped up and develop blood clots and die. Okay, that’s a little extreme. But honestly, it’s good to keep your limbs from going limp.

5) Cheaper to Buy

We all know most people looooovvvveee paying for convenience. So people will pay out the nose for an automatic. Luckily for us, that makes manuals cheaper. Thousands cheaper if you’re buying a new vehicle. Don’t do that though. But on the secondhand market, there’s still a difference in price.

6) Cheaper to Maintain

Oh, how I enjoy saving money. A manual transmission not only takes less fluid, it doesn’t require an expensive gasket and filter kit. It’s also easier to replace the fluid in a stick. So, this is a big win-win as tranny fluid can be freaking expensive. The fluid for my car was $12/quart (after price shopping, of course). The car needed 6 of them! It was stupid because the car takes 5.1 quarts. Dang you, Mitsubishi!

7) Repairs are Cheaper

A manual transmission is cheaper to build, thus cheaper to fix. I can pull the manual transmission out of my car in an afternoon. Can’t say that about an auto. Less time = less money. Also, a replacement transmission if needed will be way less.

Car is Faster

With an automatic, there’s a huge loss in power when converting the energy to an auto tranny. So while the engine is the same between a manual and auto, a manual will give you more power. By driving a manual, the ‘15% rule’ is usually used. A manual will net you 15% more horsepower than an auto.

9) Thieves Get Confused

Because manuals aren’t commonplace anymore, young thieves don’t know how to drive them. Heck, most people in America don’t know how. They’ll either pass or try to drive your car, fail, and run away.

10) Sticks are Cool!

Driving a stick shift is cool! It’s an acquired skill. Some people use techniques such as ‘heel toeing‘ and really make shifting into an art. Anyone can drive an auto. Which, funny enough, I guess in Britain the only people who drive auto’s are the disabled and the elderly. Makes sense.

11) For Fun!

Drifting your car is so much easier. By increasing power, reducing weight, you selecting the gear instead of a computer… it is a lot more fun to drive.

12) No One Wants to Borrow Your Car

Remember when I said thieves don’t know how to drive a manual? Well if some bum wants to borrow your car, you don’t have to say no, just tell them it’s a manual. I used this trick just a few weeks ago. I didn’t have to tell this guy ‘no’, I just had to say, “It’s a manual… so…”

13) Engine Braking

If you need to stop quickly, downshift while hitting the brakes. This will slow you down much faster than just hitting the brakes like in an auto. Safety, first! I mean… 13th.

14) Develop a Skill

Some people take great pride in driving a manual. After all, it is a skill. Anytime I can add a skill to my portfolio, it’s a good day.

15) Longer Transmission Life

Generally speaking, the life of a manual transmission is greater than that of an auto. Most autos seem to go out before 200k.

16) Safer, Easier Mountain Driving

When you drive an auto through the mountains, it has a hard time understanding what gear is appropriate.

How my mountain driving goes in an auto: “You’re failing at life, auto transmission. You don’t know when to shift! You don’t have eyes! You just shifted and there’s a big mountain ahead. What now, gearbox! You’re torturing yourself! Time to downshift, once again!”

Yeah, I get bored sometimes when I drive…

Even with the ‘overdrive off’ button most auto’s have, your auto still goes through hell trying to guess the appropriate gear. In a manual car, you can see what’s down the road and shift appropriately. When an auto shifts up and down over and over, it’s decreasing its life. It’s committing slowly killing itself. No fun.

Plus, engine braking is really helpful when descending a mountain. Overheating your brakes in an auto is dangerous and expensive.

17) No Computer Telling You It Knows Better (Forget you, HAL!)

I used to drive my parents’ old Oldsmobile 98 as my beater car. It was so annoying because a lot of speed limits in Nebraska are 45 mph. The car was an auto. It shifted into top gear at 46mph. So either I could speed or I could force a downshift by driving 45 mph and burn a lot of fuel being on the top of the rev limit. Not cool, auto.

18) Respect

When you do take the car to the shop, the employees will know you probably sought out a manual. It shows you care about what you drive. They will probably have more respect for you and the car.

19) No Sleepy

After you drive a stick for awhile, it’s just as easy as an auto. But it still requires movement. Therefore, it’s harder to fall asleep while driving. But this of course doesn’t apply to highway driving since you’ll just remain in top gear.

20) Patience, Young Grasshopper

You may consider this a negative but I assure you it’s a positive! Driving a stick teaches you patience! Since they are more rare, you have to spend more time looking for one. I looked at dozens of Eclipses online before I found my manual. So of course I knew the market up-down-left-right! But keep in mind, I used the ‘use patience, not time‘ strategy so it’s not like I wasted countless hours searching for my princess. Her name is Izzy, btw. I’ll write a post about my ninja-like negotiating tactics in the future. Actually, they’re more grandma-like… I’ll explain later.

In all fairness, I thought I would compile a list of why automatic transmissions are better. But that was hard. All I could think of is an auto is the ‘easier’ alternative. But then again, who wants to go through life doing things just because they are easy?
