Taa thats how i dusted vBoot along PH Owerri road... I even had 3 occupants... vBoot guy was alone. I pulled up close him smiled heard his acceleration i gunned mine and moved on. The fan noise of the vBoot was very loud at just 120km.

Remember its a carburetor fuel intake...

But what Gazzuzz has is a straight i6 2.6litre. It's a sleeper in a good drivers hands like him. Wish it can be modified to fuel injection and maybe he'll add a turbo

Modified;
If you see wia Gazzuzz the pedal corolla you will think it has turbo.

New looks

Tight fit, but wheel is clear without touching any suspension components or wheel arch
Bross, I still feel you missed out on the monoblocks. Nice looks though.
Did you replace the catalyst or left as is? Any plans for a new exhaust?

Today I took a trip to Clegg street ojuelegba , where I thought i could get most of the suspension parts. Sadly I was in the wrong market.

I was however directed to Trinity in Apapa.

The dinosaur parts can be found in excess here.

Also noticed the market has support for European vehicles.

Filled up at North West filling station off Mariam babangida way, and headed out....

The movement was really poor, car felt choked cry i could barely do 60km/hr sad


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s22xB5-L1XQ

I could literarily feel the vehicle say "I can't breathe" at this point i had 2 options, turn back and check the exhaust system or drive really slow to Lagos.

Word of advice at this point, if you are driving a modern day car with a blocked exhaust system stop and get it fixed, you could damage a lot of things in the engine including literarily setting the car on fire .


But Gazzuzz was not driving a modern day car, I took a third option which was to push the car harder, in my mind better spoil now let me tow you back to town and take GIG jeje cheesy


I started hearing exhaust leaks.... My method was paying off the exhaust leaks were getting louder with until there was a thunderous explosion !

My baby just had an orgasm!




Something like that........ I just felt an hard on my morale is lifted

My exhaust just blew up somewhere in the center , it was loud and annoying , but for the first time since we met, i could feel her jump into life....


She was now hitting the high notes with ease

Let me start looking for trouble.....


Got to first major checkpoint and decided to race one of those indomie children cheesy



He set out before me and i followed behind.....

I could feel the animal in her screaming let me go!

Literarily firing on all cylinders and transmission doing a good job of holding on till red lines before switching... It was an awesome feeling on each gear change it pushes you back into the seat and surges forward....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo8Bi5817WA


I guess the indomie baby was a fear fear one he behaved him self after that.



are you selling this car when fixed........ Will anticipate an auction here on nairaland

I learned a lot the hard way on this project .

This W201 is an American specification .

Most of the front suspension parts for this vehicle are not interchangeable with German specs.

I initially got front and rear callipers thinking I would just slap them on and call it a day, sadly they wouldn't fit, had to replace complete hubs with the German specs as I was unable to find the exact American spec in the market .

Also had to replace all the rubber bushings in the sway bar setup.

For vehicles this age, you cannot just install a spanner and unscrew bolts an nuts, usually ends in premium tears cheesy


Most bolt and nuts are really stiff and rusted in.

I had to buy and quickly self learn how to use an oxyacetylene setup.


All the years of watching panelbeaters work paid off, in a couple of mins it was touch and go.

The idea is to heat up the bolts or nuts before trying to unscrew them. Worked 100per in every case.


The setup I bought.

GAZZUZZ:
From the results android is favoured over the single din car stereo without display.


That being said since there are opinions about the single preference let's aim for another media unit that is interactive and will still maintain the single din look.

I am thinking of a retractable foldable motorised 7inch inch screen which is smaller, and also android.

Opinions welcome.

It is.
That chrome is quite gaudy. I'd say spray/wrap it something like gunmetal gray.
