no engineer - no technology - no go fast gtr... :)

Hoy , don't cut my post to suit yourself !:)

In context with the next line

Making it stay up is a little harder without correct design

is an acknowledgement that engineers are needed.

What the guts of this little post session is that we all need each other but young people these days think they all need a degree in something when a lot of them will never get a job in that field anyway.

Sometimes if you ain't got , you can still earn a good living by manual means.

Alex u ever see a old school 300ZX around with the plates Nizmo around those parts - one of my friends lives in pickering brook and i used spend a lot of time in the ZX up in kalamunda but now my friends have either got their licenses or moved back down to flatland etc i dont take the line up their often.

Um left school at the end of 98 beginning of 99. I was suppose to be in the class of 2000. Im 19 going on 20 in may.

true - sorry for that but that first line was begging.. :) no hard feelings at all.. i think alot of the people building the things around us.. and it does take an art.. but again, it's like anything - there's a few good ones who carry the rest of the mediocre.. i wouldn't go glamorising some guy who can weld stuff or use a spanner..

i agree with you that both professionals and trades need each other.. not sure if i agree with what you say about people not getting jobs in their fields - unless you're talking about arts degrees... sorry - got a pet hate of those "do my 5 years of study for my degree to get nowhere" people.. no offense meant to any of you who may be this type of person.. :)

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
