Hi Ladies and Gents

I've been looking for work for a few months now and I'm having a bit of trouble getting into something. There haven't been a lot of jobs advertised in Perth that are really up my alley. If I knew how to manage a store or something I'd be alright, there's heaps of businesses looking for managers, but I wouldn't know what to do in that sort of position.

I'm 21 and being a fully qualified mechanic is probably the best thing that I have going for me. I'm also really good with computers and electronics. However, I would be open to try new avenues of work.

It seems that the application stage here in the city takes ages to get through, because I've applied for some jobs and it's been up to a month later when I here back. I could really use a hand to get into some work, so if you know a place that's looking for workers or someone that can help me out please get in touch with me on the forum. PM is probably the best way to go.

What are some good employment agencies in Perth?

Cheers

Kinda depends on what you are looking for I suppose, but yeah, the labour market has taken a real shafting in the last 7-8 months and it really is a huge "buyers" market atm :)

My advice would be this - there is still plenty of work out there, but only if you are willing to drop your standards and do anything for teh ca$h. It can suck - hell, I went from sitting in an office in the cbd for 6 figures, to delivering newspapers in a 380 000km old van in outer buttf**k with 7 days a week of midnight starts, but it has kept the cash rolling in while I look for something decent.

Keep in mind too, that WA is about to start on the largest gas project this country has ever seen, so if you have any usable construction or heavy plant skillz, start getting your CV out to the big oil and gas recruiters NOW.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
