Remember seeing ad's for a joint in the western suburbs looking for 2nd and 3rd yr app's but i can't for the life of me remember the name of the place, they specalised more in aussie drag cars than jap cars though.

Another option though (and what I do :down:) is doing an apprentiship with qantas. I used to be in the same boat as you, wanted to work on cars etc. but figured I could do that at home anyway, why not doing something different at work and had always had a keen intrest in airliners so deicded to do that and couldn't be happier!

It sounds like you have already started an auto app with someone and want to change though, best thing to do I would say is just send your resume around to everyone regardless and see what responses you get back.

thanks for the response bud, couldnt be more happier. I have started with Bayford Coburg, working with.. YES YOU GUESSED IT.. FORDS!! its pretty good i enjoy it and i am a pretty good worker when it comes to knuckeling down and getting the job done within a timeframe, but i want to go and do more high performance work and more stuff revolving around imported cars.. i want a challange. Not jus oil changes and services and stuff. But more around japanese high performance cars. Heck i have done all work on my r33 and havnt had a problem with it. Just the fact that i dont exactly have the money to let others do it and if i want the job done properly i would need to do it myself also i want more experience..

I think your best option would be to ring them yourself rather than try for second hand information from someone else

i just posted this because a member or owner of one of the workshops may be reading this, but i wanted to see what was out there anyhow. I will be calling them in the next few months. Where else should i try? JPC? Chasers?

Well i know G wont check (ICE)... cause he has no net @ work at the moment, and doesnt check SAU, being he'd have to do it through my PC here at home :)

It also looks far more professional if you take yourself and go face-to-face rather than hoping someone will see over a forum which really leaves a lot to be desired, and also can see "desperate" if you know what i mean!

Just my thoughts on the matter to help ya. :O

true, i will be ringing workshops and speaking to them. But going to like ICE performance just to speak to someone is a bit out of the way especially if the answer is no... just my opinion. But yeah i will be speaking to a number of different workshops when the time comes. And if they are further interested i will be visiting them to speak further.

thanks for all your advice. thanks heaps. Its true, if you can go out of your way just to shake their hand and ask about a position it will show commitment and determination. i will be 18 this year so i will be driving and i will make the effort to pop in to any workshop.

Oh shit you're from thomo!

haven't tried any of the local joints?

Also, i know what you mean driving to ice, i used to do deliveries near there and it was always a huge drive (then half hour stop at ice for a chat).

but yeah, going there 5 - 6 days a week, late hours at times i'm assuming, would not be the best

Guest IH8VEE8S

have you tried the places down the end of barry rd campbellfield?

also, this probably has no use in this thread but turbosmart are looking for "mechanical engineers". now i have no idea where turbosmart is or whatever so no flaming please lol but yeah was looking through the site and found this.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
