Hey everyone...

Troy and I bought a puppy dog yesterday. We were planning on getting on in the near future, but after i pursuaded troy into the pet shop, and saw "Obi", we couldnt resist. Hes a very big, 8 week old, golden Akita. Cute as a button, with a dubble chin and too much skin at the moment. Hes going to be a big boy, about 50-60 kgs. We wanted a good gard dog, their breed is aparently excellent at that, and great with families. From the pics, he doesnt look quite scary at the moment, but im sure when hes bigger, and had some training, he will protect me from skyline, scooter and breaking in **** heads while troys on night shift :P

[qI must admit as much as i don't like dogs that really is one cute dog!!

AHAHAH Obi ahahaha!

Obi, yes i know. But i think it suits him. According to troy it was either Wooky or Chewy... Both starwars geeky names... So i said if it has to be a starwars name, its got to be obi.

That wont work. I get cluckier every day :)

TROY .. INPREGONATE ME!! NOW!! lol

Ive been wispering into his ear while hes sleeping at night that he wants a baby, he thinks they are cute, and wants one now ... :)

Also, been bringing children over to the house ;)

Shh.. dont tell him my plan!

aparently if i keep nagging, he will just add an extra year onto when ever he was EVER going to propose.. IF EVER... HELLO TROY OVER 4 YEARS NOW!!! SAU.. get on his case!!!!!

Oh well... we will have a bloody zoo if he thinks buying me pets will keep my mind of having kids, cos hes going to have to keep doing it!! No wonder we have 2 birds, 2 cats and now a dog! hey troy... I want a pony!!!!

Well.. eventually when troy and i have a night off together, (Im working 2 part time jobs now and uni, so thats pretty rare)... even rarer to have a cruze running on that night, we will bring the big pansy (meaning the dog) with us :)

yes we are getting all the training info atm.

just got to find the one that suits us, and doesn't put our boy at risk. hes only had 1 set of vacinations so we are thinking a vet run puppy school first for the disease free environment then out the big bad world and all its nasties.

Dogs are great

We lost our Beagle to cancer and suprisingly I was devestated.

The new puppy helped me get over it.

She's bigger than yours Kyles :( \

9kgs but 7 months old.

Won't be able to claim she's bigger next week :O

Sorry to hear about your dog. Its sad when we loose a pet, they can be like children. I know mine are... ;)

The vet said he will probly be about 10 kgs in 2 weeks (that was a week ago).. little fatty!!

Hes enrolled in puppy preschool. We went though a vet. He starts school on wednesday (ohh my little baby is growing up). We will be looking at further training after that. Aparently akitas need alot of training, they are very smart dogs, and have short attention spands and can be very very stubborn, so obedience is a must with them. Also, because they were used as hunting dogs to hunt animals such as BEARS, they can be fairly unsociable with unknown people and other dogs etc. So we are trying to get him used to children and other dogs. He loves kids so far though.

Hes learning to drive too. The other day when i took him somewhere, he put his paws up on the stearing wheel... He always wants to sit on my lap when we are driving, wont beable to do that for much longer!

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
