Pets / Re: My Dog by Kelvin30286063(m): 9:29pm On Oct 22, 2022
Emk5556:
I changed her food. She has started eating but not much. Thanks a lot for the advice. I feed her compounded food sometimes rice but she tends to eat sweet mouth more. Like boiled egg and meat there by making me spend more. Any remedies?
I once had an American Eskimo that is very selective like this. What I usually do at the time is take the pain to grind the meat and eggs and mix it with the proper food. She won't have a choice but to eat the rice since she can still it pieces of meat in it.

My dogs appetite is dropping everyday. Please help. A pitbull. 8 month old. Qhen I feed her in the morning she just looks at the food and goes to sleep. In the afternoon she will then eat it. Same thing in the evening. What can I do please.
Deworm your dog. If it doesn't change then change the food to something else.
Even though dogs don't mind eating the same food over and over again, they sometimes turn down some kind of food they don't like after sometime.

Car Talk / Re: ABS Light Showing On The Dashboard by Kelvin30286063(m): 11:30am On Oct 14, 2022
Demor1:
the ABS indicator keep showing once a while from the dashboard of honda EOD but doesnt affect any functionality of the car.

atimes i will speed up the acceleration to check if it will affect movements in anyway but wont.

i dont know if anyone has experienced such and the eventuality of it
Your ABS doesn't affect your speed so speeding up won't show you anything. But if you speed up and press sharply on your brake. You should feel a sway. That's how you know you have abs problems. But a sway when you match your brake can be something else too (e.g ball joints or alignment issues).
Meanwhile, first check the simply fixes like brake pad and brake fluid. If those are fine. Take off the tires and inspect the abs components. Be ready tho, ABS warning light can be a b1tch, that light doesn't like to go away easily.

Business / Re: Man Cries Out As His Goods Worth Millions Floats On Water In Ariaria (video) by Kelvin30286063(m): 9:18am On Sep 27, 2022
One thing I find very interesting about Nigerians is how they call government and God for every little problem they have. I once did a study on community development using cities in the US as a case study and one thing I find very useful in my study is the fact that most of the development in many of the US cities and towns are done by people living in those cities and town. They organize a community fund raising and fix road, work on drainage and everything. But look at us, we always wait for government to do everything for us. Even when we know they are the last people we can depend on to fix things.
You people do business there, come together, contribute money and do a proper drainage so that water won't be coming to your shops anymore.
I and a few other educated landlords in my area have been the ones fixing the road that leads to our houses for 3 years now, once raining season starts, we start contributing money cos we know erosion will damage the road. We fix it, do the drainage again and fill the potholes. We don't wait for government cos we already accept nigeria as it is, THEY ARE NOT COMING. And if they finally come, that's a bonus!

Car Talk / Re: 2008-2010 Honda Accord V6 Needed by Kelvin30286063(m): 4:13am On Sep 26, 2022
Valtteri:


I’d actually seen the first two for less than 2.8m each.

Was more interested in the TL, but before I could finalize inspection, I was sold. So I’m still searching.

You never can tell though.
If you see a 2010 TL for 2.8m, I'll advice you for your own good to run. With the current exchange rate, 2010 TL is not less than 5.5m. And a good Nigeria used that's not a lemon won't go less than 4m.

Car Talk / Re: My Review K&N Octane Booster by Kelvin30286063(m): 4:18pm On Sep 25, 2022
Conner44:
Op is this a one off purchase and use item? Are you planning to keep using it for your entire ownership of the vehicle? You say you buy it with black market dollar rate?

$10 = N7,500
full tank of fuel = N14,000

FUEL FOR 2 WEEKS OF MODERATE USE = N21,500

for me, bringing out such an amount just for fuel 2 - 3 times a month is not wise, i would just get used to the pinging and manage it like that or sell off the vehicle.

remember that subsidy will go next year and dollar will keep on rising.
Actually I ordered 8 pieces. First one to test if it works then I ordered another 7 pieces after that.
I basically spent $185 plus shipping.
To answer your question, no the car is not my regular car. I have 3 cars so it's for special occasions and I have to admit, the octane booster helps a lot cos I can always feel the engine runs better with it. It's not about flaunting money, I'm just maintaining my cars. I'll spend any amount to keep my car in perfect condition cos at the end of the day when you're doing 140km/hr, your life is no longer yours, it belongs to your car and your car will never forget when you should have spent money on her and you didn't.

Despite evidences and publications I posted you want to still refute these claims.
Your dad did that to his old Mercedes which had old carburetor engine.
You doing same is needless, in fact, it puts wear and tear to that engine. I’ve know for a fact that you like arguing blindly and endlessly over things you have limited knowledge of; I quit arguing on this matter.

Have a great day!
And you like endless nonsense talk. Are they your cars? I said I'll warm my cars for at least 20-30 Seconds before I move, you're telling me about something you read online. Just say okay and good luck. If I get wear and tear ( which I highly doubt) I'll go back to the market and buy two more cars if I like and guess what, I'll still warm them for 20 seconds everyday before work. My life, my rules.
If it's a problem for you, do yours the way you like. I'm not here to argue endlessly over a very debatable topic. Yeah, you used that word before.
I can also show you 10 urls that debunk your argument but I don't have time for that.

All your own resources never said you shouldn't idle your car, I read where they also clearly said you shouldn't idle more than 30 seconds but you're here opposing the point they made. Who doesn't know that leaving a car in idle for long causes wear and tear?

See I don't have time for arguments but I know for a fact that all my cars sound rough the first second I start the engine until it smoothen up after a few seconds. And I won't move until I hear that smooth silent sound that shows my engine is fine. Everybody can do it whichever way they like, I'll keep the method I grew up with as a kid watching my dad drive his old Mercedes. Probably one of the reasons he used that Benz for 10 years and the engine still sounded perfect until he sold it.
No need to argue with anyone about that cos there are lots of conflicting arguments about this online too.

Highly debatable points!
It’s appropriately normal to wash modern cars engine more so a toyota. All you just have to to is cover a few components and pressure wash and it’s totally safe! If in doubt, search YouTube of tons of engine detailing for cars.

As for the act of allowing engines to warm up before driving off, it’s obsolete, modern cars do not require all those long time. They have Heated Oxygen sensors, ECT sensors and others which rapidly brings the engine to optimal operating temperature in less than 2mins from start up. All you need to do is ensure ALL fluids are okay and at the right levels, tyres okay and then start the car and drive off gently not pushing the car hard and aggressively while the engine temperature rises to the optimum level.
There is no highly debatable in this fact.
By letting your car warm up, instead of just driving it cold (especially in cold season, allows the engine's components to disperse oil evenly throughout every moving part. Without the proper warmup time, you can risk damaging your engine's pistons, which may warp or experience undue wear as a result of being driven cold. This is regardless of what you drive whether a 2001 or 2022 car as long as it's not an electric.
At least give it nothing less than 30 seconds of warm up, don't just jump in, start up and zoom off every morning. It happens alot with people that needs to rush to work every morning and they always end up with broken engines.

Don't convert your fan(s) to manual. Avoid any mechanic that tells you to do that. If your car is in good condition, it won't overheat before the engine warms up and the fan(s) kick in.

Let me add two extra advices. Your engine may look very clean now but it will eventually get dirty, don't take it to car wash and ask them to wash the engine when it gets a little dirty. You may end up losing some irreplaceable sensors due to car wash pressure gun.

When you start your car in the morning, don't jump in and zoom off right away, wait a few seconds for oil to circulate and engine sound to quiet down before you move.

Congrats on your first ride.

I'm keeping my eye out for one extremely riced up civic (I think), I saw some weeks back, had the whole ricing shebang including spoilers that were like 1 foot from the trunk angry
Looks ridiculous. Personally I don't like to design my car with after market artifacts like this. The ones I hate most are stickers and those that use after market head lamp attached to the bumper.
