Smartfix. Thanks for coming —and your service is top notch.
I will recommend you to every living soul I know .

Before and after pictures would be nice

I don't know of the AC system, but the brake Master and servo isn't traditional pneumatic or hydraulic type. it's electronic sensor type. if it fails, you'd have to replace the servo unit and the anti skid control module. It doesn't go as high as 500k biko.

N495k for the brake nko?

Very easy to spend 300k on AC for any car if you go for new components and not all that shiet stuff available at Ladipo etc.
Compressor, condenser, evaporator dryer etc. Add shipping if ordering from abroad.
Ask me how I know

Inception:


I want to make love to this car

paix:
I want to know why V8 engines are not common on cars.

Very common to me. I see one everyday

valarinz:
So it held today Dec 2nd at Aviators lounge, airport, Ikeja, lagos
It was fun (as expected once Volvo owners gather)
It was bigger than last year's and next year's will be bigger too.
Below are pics for our viewing pleasure

Enjoy!!

Lovely pictures and well done for showcasing your ceaseless love for the brand.

Cheers

Oge24:
no

Not a problem at all.
Appear with both old and new at the Embassy or drop box location.

That's all

drtee247:
Hi guys! I just want to know if anyone here has bought a car he saw on nairaland and if he was satisfied or had any regrets. You can also mention the person you bought the car from. Kindly share your experience

I have bought and then sold many cars here from and through Nairalanders.
Not had any negative experience
Due diligence is a must though

Carshopper
Emeshot
Motorconnectz
Calculusx and many others I cant remember their handles now.

Also note that for the 4 I have listed above, it always goes beyond transactions into friendship.

nwanneni:
Shagati AKA mr restorations,would you like to pick up this ride and give it proper restoration,since i am doing a very bad job at it?

Bros no O!

debusy008:
What is the difference btw assisted clutch, slippery slipper clutch and easyshift/quickshift clutch

All one and the same thing/concept.
A system that allows you to upshift without engaging the clutch lever.
Some manufacturers now have one that assists downshifts (BMW I think.....)

This is however when you're in mid-to-full flight or racing mode and not applicable in traffic conditions.

So Bros, you will still use ya clutch

debusy008:


I'm having issue riding clutch bikes, I stall them alot except if d bike is new

Not sure you want to be riding a motorbike in Lagos traffic if you are still at the stage of stalling 'clutched' bikes.

Automatic options are mostly scooters
A Gilera GP 800 would be my choice if I absolutely had to.

There are some dual sport offerings from Honda with what they call the DCT with no clutch lever.
The VFR1200X Crosstourer sits here

EgunMogaji:


I would suggest getting a used cheap okada type bike to practice shifting around the neighborhood. I think clutched bike will give you better control, at least in spirited riding.

Good luck. We meed more riders.

As advised already, I would also advise you raise your competency level and get a mainstream 6-speed 1300cc 600cc bike when you're ready

kulikuli45:
Next came the shoes.

Low profile rubber on 18" chromes

Proper restoration in progress!
Knowing what I know now, I would have kept the old mesh wheels

Good job. Car is still in Makurdi?

@Kingreign, is this a 240 or a 320?

nwanneni:
Replacement timer gear

Brother, The 3 Teams are now confused

Was Kazeem commissioned to come and Repair a newly purchased, Tokunbo Replacement engine?

Team Kazeem / Team Repair / Team Replace; come and help me answer please

SegunOnCars:
Here are some images of it. I took them Yesterday Tuesday 2nd Of October, 2018

Any idea how much they are asking?

weyreypey:

Add this to the 500k cost

Oho! You see am?

weyreypey:

His budget is extremely excessive.

Like Gazzuzz said, the costs creep up on you.
Especially stuff like freight, unplanned labour etc

Imagine you have completed your budget for a quick restoration and you realise dashboard removal (to replace ac blower for instance) is a specialised job that costs N10k. You had not factored this in before.

Spring removal from struts is another one. N2k per corner.

Then those darned rusted bolts that require Mr. Welder to bring his machine, boom! Another N5k don go.

Like I said. Never underestimate the f""k factor in restorations.

Das all.

Inception:
This thread right now...

flejnr2:

Can you help me in accessing xj6 parts in Lagos? Stay in the east and accessing parts here is ill need suspension and steering pump

If it were me, I would order new struts from the States or Europe depending on vehicle source.
Not sure there are old Jag dedicated parts dealers in Ladipo but I can help check.

Like I said in your other thread, pics and vin please

flejnr2:

Thanks brother. How do I get to know similar cars using same parts please

Picture of your car please and send the vin privately to me.
I have responded to your email

Inception:
This is one of the most beautiful cars ever crafted by a Japanese automaker.

Why is it not plying Nigerian roads today?
I know very well that Mazda is quite a durable brand that has been in Nigeria for a long time.
what is going on?

cc. Shagati, Egunmogaji

I saw one in IITA, Ibadan in February last year. Same colour and wheels as your picture.
That is one confirmed sighting for you.
The reason it isn't two is that money nefa reash for my own as I would buy at the drop of a hat! Same colour, same wheels! ! !

I like the air suspension

Pipedreams:
Here's mine:

Oh so it was you I saw on Awolowo Way yesterday?
Nice transformation

I just came here to read the comments and make a nuisance of myself in the office and at home while doing so

radautoworks:

Can't do it. A two door sports car comparison to an entry level suv PRIVATE JET

PJ = Private jet. Lighten up ma'am

radautoworks:

I'm on the fence about this one because once again,both cars serve completely different purposes but the ages might make the comparison worthwhile.

Refer to my earlier post. There is a point of similarity between them - power/driving satisfaction etc. 'Asker' would like to know likely pitfalls if any one versus the other. I get your point though

HeavenlyBang:

You're forgetting that some of the people asking such questions are completely ignorant about cars. Can't blame them, in that case. And that's why this thread exists.

Thank you sir!

radautoworks:

True. Very true. I didn't consider that.

Oho, you are starting to see the light

Well done ma

mejai:
biko nu... W210 E55 AMG dey hungry me. though 20 yrs and going, I still love d old design. thieves no go bother me. But my mind is telling me to go for 08' Mitsubishi Evo.
wetin una think?

Aunty Radautoworks; another valid comparison loading IMHO

radautoworks:

Right?
Corolla= entry level economy sedan
Camry= mid family sedan

radautoworks:
Are we serious with most of these comparisons Can we at least compare cars in the same class I am so confused and horrified. Or is this based on what we can bu y them for in Nigeria?

Dear Sis, for your clarity:

Compare
kəmˈpɛː/
verb
1.
estimate, measure, or note the similarity or dissimilarity between.
synonyms: contrast, set side by side, juxtapose, collate, differentiate, weigh up, balance, weigh/balance/measure the differences between


To get a comparison of similarly classed vehicles is the easiest thing to do via any number of auto sites cars.com, edmunds.com etc.
I believe the purpose of this thread is to have real life (read Naija) comparisons of similar/dissimilar vehicles from hands-on experts to help one decide on a choice for the long run.

A comparative analysis may well inform one that what you really need is cabin and boot space and not engine power and fuel consumption.

Please let people ask their qweshun o! Persin wey ask nor dey lost.

You can please kick off your contribution with the PJ vs Veyron one. That is one choice dilemma that has been bothering me too

OPUSDEI1:



Looks like a Nissan Avalon Teana

Fixed

HeavenlyBang:


If I could suggest, why not an M35? You used to own a G35 IIRC. An M would be perfect for your needs. It has more luxury than the IS and W204, more space, and similar power. Only issue with it is poor mpg, really.

That is ONE ugly car sir.
Unless of course the 2011+ which is not the best looker either
