Yeh, Akitas can be known to not only have a short attention span - but short temper, too. Meaning they can be snappy if annoyed - so definately get Obi lovin' kids and stuff and as used to as many things as possible.

They become stupidly loyal to your family though :) And lots of ppl go ohhhhhhh ahhhhh what a pretty dog!

Obi went to puppy school last wednesday. He loved it, but he got attacked by an 8 week old jack russle that would have been the size of obi's head! little turd. All the dogs there were sooo little, i thought that Obi may hurt them, but he played very well with the other dogs. The only other dog close to his size was a rotty, but it was a bit timid, obi wanted to play with him but he kept running away. Obi goes again this wednesday.

Hes putting on weight, when we weighed him at puppy school, he had put on 1.3 kgs in a week. hes about 8.3kgs at the moment i think. Little fatty! Hes prob put on more this week, hes growing fast, slowly growing in to all his skin, but hes still got an addorable double chin :P

Dog is very cute guys, nice choice

personally I've always wanted a pure bred labrador, maybe once I finished studying will get one......

Troy, please tell me you are not gonna name your kids after star wars characters, though I think the Doc's would get a kick outta putting Princess Leila on the birth certificate of your daughter :D

for god sakes dont all three of you couples do it at the same time. I could never afford that while rebuilding the car.

hmm... formulates terrible plan to make sileighty broke.

updates lets see Obi graduated puppy school.

Obi's 15kgs at 15 weeks and about knee high already. He starting to be mischevious along with thinking hes a lapdog (Kylie spoils him)

need to take new photo

Here's a picture of my Sammy B) He's waiting for me to let him close the door for some privacy :(

Sammy is about 6 years old and 65-70lbs, he was the runt of the little so he's on the smaller side of his brother's and sister's

Akitas have the highest biting pressure out of any dog breed. Pit bulls are second in this category at an average bite pressure of 900psi. Akita's have been known to have as high as 2300psi bite pressure when fully grown. Very protective breed. Originally bred as a fighting dog. shares more genes with wild bears than any other breed. But if u raise them right it doesnt matter about the breed. Ive got a rotti cross shar pei and she is like a teddy bear around people. Will run around and play with all dogs but yet still fearless against next door's pitt bull (i mean mastiff cross as it says on the books).

nice husky... I like them too...

Ok... update.. oby is 17 weeks old and weighs prob just over 20kgs... still thinks hes a lap dog :) and no... I DONT SPOIL him... when troy tells him off he doesnt scare the dog at all... obi goes quivering when i say no!

Anyway... As soon as i get the opportunity to load pics from my phone etc.. ill put some more up. He hasnt changed much, apart from the size. Hes nick name is bear btw... should see the size of hes paws!!!!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
