In as much as we have our doubts in issues like this, anybody that suggests solutions to problems, no matter how unrealistic it sounds, should be given a chance to actually explain the magic he/she wants to perform. After explanations, it is left for us to decide whether to use him/her or not. I'm in of giving him a chance. Who knows? Something good might come out of it.

Very educative.
In addition, 4wd almost always have a switch or flip that the driver must manually engage.
AWDs don't have such. They transmit power to each individual tyre based on feel and road conditions.
Well done

Wallie pheeew...
you took the words outta my Brainbox

Wallie:

Very true, although, we all like to believe that we're Michael Schumacher behind the wheel. grin On a side note, Peter Cuningham seems to be doing really well racing in GTS in a fwd Acura TSX with a 3.5 engine transplant. I think the bottom line with any car, with enough money and know-how you can negate any inherent deficiencies a platform presents. Understeer or oversteer can always be dialed out or mitigated against.

That's true Wallie. What kinda car do you drive? Maybe we could do a test run and giver nairalanders d results? Very educative posts from u tho

Wallie:

Kenny, you're not seeing the entire picture. This is more of a race to determine better drivers than to determine better platforms. I say this because the series is set up to neutralize a winning platform. There's a reason why you will almost never see a FWD platform competing is races having cars with hp greater than 300.

I completely agree with you. That's why I said. "It depends in the conditions".
How many AVERAGE nigerian drives a TRUELY sports car? In real racing, you won't see a fwd car. But the AVERAGE nigerian would drive an AVERAGE car. Fuel economy, speed, safety and comfort are very important. FWD excels here. You want more power? Then go for RWD or AWD. That why mazda or acura didn't put up their FWD cars for such races. Instead they switch to other trims that have RWD or AWD.

Ikenna351:

See how this poster twisted this post just to make It look as if FWD is an improvement on RWD. You said Mazda6 FWD outruns RWD BMW s and even AWD Audis. Can you be that biased? Are you comparing 2.8 liter (probably a v6) FWD Mazda with 1.8 liter I-4 RWD BMW? Why didn't you state the engine sizes, hp and maximum engine torques of both cars and lets understand you better.

The simply truth is that most car manufacturers changed to FWD vehicles because they are cheaper to produce, compared to RWD configuration. The less the cost of production, the more the profit. Benz and BMW maintained RWD configurations when other brands shifted to FWD, because they have fans that are still willing to spend more to buy those their products that cost more to produce, knowing what they gain driving them.

Ikenna.


You could be a little bit more polite with your post.
Quest is : rwd and fwd, which is better?
A lot of ppl have said d right things. Some are also wrong. When we make comparison, we need to state the . Are we referring to speed? Handling? Safety? Etc
Different cars and manufacturers excel in different aspects. A lot of ppl erroneously bliv that german cars are d best. Yes, maybe. IN THEORY! But have they actually MET each other on the track? Let them proof their worth. And when comparing, we compare cars with SIMILAR engines, SIMILAR displacement, SIMILAR power (like I stated earlier which IKENNA didn't have d time to notice). An LIVE example would be races. Where similar cars come together and ACTUALLY PROOF their worth. In races there are strict rules, strict conditions that must be adhered to. Eg wikipedia says. That mazda races in the GTA class of SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge. Which includes cars like audi, acura, lexus,BMW to mention but a few. Cars have similar engines and power. Mazda6 finished FIRST in that competition despite the fact that they use "stop start" as opposed to "rolling starts" used in other races which is to FWD's disadvantage. Mazda6 also came 1st and second in touring driver races. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda6#cite_note-2

Here's the result as it were:
Top Ten Drivers
1. Randy Pobst - TriPoint Motorsports – Mazda6
2. Jeff Altenburg - TriPoint Motorsports – Mazda6
3. Pierre Kleinubing - RealTime Racing – Acura TSX
4. James Sofronas - GMG/Greek Bros. Racing BMW
325i
5. Peter Cunningham - RealTime Racing – Acura TSX
6. Kuno Wittmer RealTime Racing – Acura RSX
7. Chip Herr - STaSIS Engineering –Audi A4
8. Charles Espenlaub - Tindol Motorsports- Mazda6
9. Michael Galati - Tindol Motorsports- Mazda6
10. Brandon Davis - RealTime Racing – Acura TSX

BMW 17 Points
*Lexus 0 Points (only two races this season)

That is not to say that other drive trains don't have their aspects of specialization, but personally, I'd go with FWD any day. They're generally safer too

adanny01:

The question is crazy but not too out of place. The op misunderstood something. Lets try to make him understand and profer the next available solution.
OP, it is impossible to inflate a 16" tyre on a 15" rim while it is impossible to fit a 15" tyre on a 16" rim.

The option you have is to change both rim and tyre to 16". Also as Siena suggested, u can increase the profile of the tyre too. Back in 1999 i changed my rim and tyres from 13" to 14" on my Honda accord 86 model, i enjoyed the car for the next 10 yrs.

A small problem may arise since car is usually designed for a specific max size of rim. If u dont exceed the recommended tyre size, then u are ok. If u exceed, under full load, the tyre may occasionally touch the body of the car which could damage the tyre. Worst case scenario could lead to a tyre burst.


Nuff said!

In addition to earlier comments, it depends on d type of road you're plying
With all electric gadgets turned off (traction, stability etc) fwd fares better on roads with a lot of sharp bends. RWD rides tend to spin out

But when under strictly monitored conditions (
2.8-liters maximum displacement, 225 to 275 hp power) comparing fwd mazda6s to rwd bmws and lexuses or even d awd audis.... D mazda6 outruns them all. That's on even roads tho[color=][/color]

Mazda millenias are truly spectacular cars. Mazda car are generally undervalued, but in recent times, it getting the attention it deserves. Mazda 323f, mazda 626, mazda 6, mazda 3 to mention just a few. I've driven an audi, toyota and now a mazda 6 and I tell u that mazdas are reliable cars. I also haven't had any problem with mine thus far. But I'd prefer u went for a mazda 626. U can get it at a slightly cheaper price and d parts are everywhere.

We want his wife's pic too(claims to be a pastor, married with a kid.if that's rily him on dat fbk page) and everyone related to him. They could help with his arrest. Poor kids. Killed for a crime they didn't commit. Poor souls. Rest in peace my dears. Journey well! Till we meet again in the afterlife

for long i have been following up on the gruesome murder of those young souls. my heartfelt condolence goes out to their families. I however still have some questions which despite the number of days ed, have still not been answered.
1: what is the report given by the Chief to whom the boys were purportedly taken to b4 their death.
2: where is the lad who was oweing them money. How come he is not known yet?
3: many faces where clearly seen in video. How many of them have been arrested and why haven't they given their s yet?
4: how come not even a single person decided to oppose the killing in a crowd of over 150 people including women? were they convinced beyond doubt that they were guilty? if yes, why hasn't anyone come up with their excuses?
5: where are the vigilante that were on duty? have they been arrested and what are their reports?
6: where are the laptops that were supposedly stolen. what about the victims phones? who is the real thief here?
This isn't a difficult case at all. there are loads and loads of evidence.
I thought that by now, meaningful conclusions would have been drawn and justice quickly met ted out. only that can appease us and the family of the deceased.
In conclusion, i am not comfortable with the slow progress made thus far!

A very informative and enlightening thread. I have a similar problems as those mentioned previously. I plan on building 2 units of 2 storey building containing 6 flats each on 2 plots of land. I have done the survey and d red copy has been lodged. I have 5 copies of architectural drawing, 5 copies of d survey, 5 copies of structural drawing, land information, and C of O. Land is free from aquisition. I am working towards getting the approval. My s charged me 750 thousand naira for it and said it'll take 3days to get. I think this amount is rather outrageous. Land is located in olowora village after ojodu berger. Does anyone here know how much I ought to pay and who I can talk to?
Thanks
