what WGMG c**t employers that knock you back for a job because they find out that your dad bought you a car, they think you are a daddys boy,

thats just been stereotypical, the bitches dont know under what circumstances the car was bought under, and then when ya try and explain they question whether you are actually the age your drivers license and birth certificate say you are, judging a person by appearance....

then they call you and tell you to come in for a chat and they say you wernt qualified even tho they wernt looking for a qualified person at all....

THEN you find out the person they did hire for the job has an extensive criminal record, one of which time was from his previous employer

so i hope this business burns to the ground and they go bankrupt :whistling:

its a real kick in the teeth :P

i have pretty much have been said yes to a job over the phone by about 5 different employers now as they needed urgent staff with no qualifications needed, when they see me all of a sudden they look at you like a little kid and say they arnt hiring any more.... things can be tuff sometimes :)

rant over :)

I am sharing your pain - I finished my apprenticeship @ 19 and I looked like I was 16 and I had a really hard time for 3-4 years. Just take consolation from the fact that it will happen, you just have to wait a little while longer for your balls to drop (jks)

Besides, when you are 40 and only look 30, and you have 10 years more experience than other blokes (who look) your age, who will be laughing then?

lol high school and thats it, but obviously im not applying for jobs that require any specific qualifications, i put in applications for jobs that specifically say "no qualifications required" and "will train on job" etc

i quit working at "the boat" which was really sh*t hours, mayb 1 hour in morning and 1 hour in the afternoon lol

but at the moment im looking for anything possible, for example shelf stacking etc

lol maybe i should just apply for jobs that require 15 year olds or something lol and i wont say im 19 turning 20

I feel sorry for all you baby faced munchkins.. I've had a goatee since I was 15 which was great for buying alcohol with :thumbsup:

Sammie, I think you'll find that the people advertising these lame jobs with no skills required are probably looking for someone under the age of 18 that they don't have to pay adult wages to. Get a job pushing trolleys while doing a 6month CAD course at tafe then get a job drafting.. ask Dale, we make lots of money :D

yes, yes we do, especially if we are nasty money grubbing contractors

*does a happy dance*

most of my mates don't believe me when I tell them how much per hour we are getting, but to give you an idea, blokes with 10+ years experience have been getting offered $72 per hour lately.

I came into it from a trade background (best move I ever made was getting off the tools) but if you can find someone who offers traineeships then you will be set for life.

retiring at 50 FTW!!!

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
