Sorry, cant beat their deal, but since im the one who decides what goes on special I can try to stick some more automotive kits in there for everyones benefit :D

Thats the AF meter, works quite well, alot better than the old one which was just a bar graph that went nuts all the time. This one actually gives you a readout.

The Voltmeter, Ammeter, Thermometer, Turbo Timer and Battery Protector ARE however on special :D

Ive been trying to get work to remake the kits into a guage style thing, something thats mountable into a round hole, but they seem to think customers wont think its worth the extra cost.

Yeah Jaycar has better audio gear. Altronics retail is a small part of the overall operation tho, its mostly wholesale. Jaycar dont do professional public address systems, we do.

We dont supply much to Jaycar, they source all of their own stuff. Only time they buy off us is when they run out of stock of a common part that we also stock. Their catalogue is alot bigger, but then again Altronics doesnt stock heaps of tacky stuff nobody wants.

We pride ourselves on nerdy retail staff. Luckily i work upstairs and as such am not counted as a nerd :D

hmm almost sparked up a price war

umm yeah you know me zanda, eloquence is the key to business and a few favours here and there (**taps nose**)

nah seriously the deals get good when we decide to group buy stuff

like say for example SOUND DEADening LOL

they have that "brown bread" deadener which is pretty good and their amps are really worth the money no BOSS style crapola here

so yeah anyways at the moment they have these woofers 6" ones with kevlar cones you might have heard about. they have about a 1cm if that part where the glue has come away and the cone is separated from the surround. they even sell you the glue to repair it and they are like $20 for these speakers

now i dunno about you guys but I wanna grab a bunch and build a bit of a home speaker setup for the ol PC

or you can use them for ditching at the geeks at Jaycar/Alotronics (those that work downstairs)

but yeah anyways email me if you need prices on shite and I will check

    • Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate 
    • 😂 thanks guys. The diagram i had did not have the breather on it at all. Much appreciated.  
    • Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.
    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
