I'ev been bumming around SAU for awhile, anyways, its a great site, but lets get to the point, im currently studying in yr11, i wanna get my Vet auto completed (We start our Vet in yr10) and after this year, i was think of doing a apprenticeship, thats if i feel that school just doesnt cut it for me, im very devoted to cars, being part of my life, i guess i cant live wit out them. What im trying to say is that, is it posible that performance shops like CreatD, RaceLine motorsports and Ice Performance , in melb, me for apprenticeship. I know this sounds kinds dumb :D , but i wanna work with imports, not just your average family cars you know, doesnt intrest me as much as imports. I have a fair bit of knowledge, thanks to everyone in SAU, i try to read most of your post, and High Performance Import mags, and learn from your experiences. I just wanna know what you guys/girls reckon, is it possible to even get into working with performance shop, but more get an apprenticeship with them, My brother owns a Skyline GTS25T, so yes i'ev worked around imports before. :)

Don't take me for another fool, who just says they like imports because their cool, and wanna work wit them. Im very serious about this so yeah.

Feel free to comment, i wanna know what you reckon.

mate, sounds like you have a good attitude and that counts for a lot. If you can show dedication through background knowledge and a genuine interest to stick with it and put the hard yards in, you're probably in front of the pack already.

If you have a photo/work log of your Vet, take it allong as a kind of portfolio for your work. Use it as a prop to get them into a convo about possibly taking on an apprentice. Let them know what you are interseted in and where you see yourself after school.

good luck!

    • Can't see that being a thing.
    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
