Oh ok, cheers for that. A lot of UWA engineers are pretty naff I find (I go to UWA, but spent a semester at Curtin earlier on) but I also thought that I got babied quite a large amount at Curtin when I was there. Certainly I have to work a lot harder at uwa, and having handed in literally exactly the same project at each uni (I didn't get credited for a project unit and had to do exactly the same project twice) I had a high distinction at Curtin and an average pass at Uwa. That said, a good friend of mine from Uwa argued once for hours that cars wouldn't possibly have fuses in them for any of the appliances.... :banana:

I imagine that Uwa's more make or break, either you'd be really good, or terrible at the end, Curtin a bit more solid. That said, I can't imagine that it would make much difference after a while would it?

I'm involved in the hiring of other Engineers for our group at work, and I can say with 100% certainty that we don't even look at which Uni you come from, it's all about experience and how well you come across in the interview. We've even hired people from Edith Cowan :ermm:

Hey Tim, I've worked with engineers of many disciplines (electrical, mechanical, chemical, process, corrosion, computor, metallurgy) for f#$kn years in many different industries. Over that time the only people who actually give a flying f!@k about where they went/got educated is/was themselves. All we sorry-arsed plebs cared about was if they were any good at their job or just plain d~!kheads. :banana:

Cheers & good luck with your chosen career, whatever it turns out to be.

That is exactly what I was referring to, experience is everything hence the reason why many old school engineers are there even without a degree. Lol, I've worked with someone that couldn't even speak english and had to have a translator during meetings because he was from peru (spanish). Damn was he good at his job though.

My reference was made specifically towards graduates, which timothy will be once he's finished his engineering degree. At this stage of one's career, experience doesn't count for much since it would be minimal anyway. Just make sure you get into a reputable company and good references from important people during your vac work.

Which uni you went to after that, or even if you haven't been to one doesn't matter if you are adequate for the job.

Dogs for drifting, horses for offroading...

Is there an all wheel drive animal with a low centre of gravity? more like a GTR? you know.. mainly rear wheel drive but will kick its' front legs in when it needs the extra traction?

Dogs are better for drift because they are rear wheel drive and have better weight distribution than horses which are all wheel drive and have a high centre of gravity.

You've obviously never had the joy of watching European horse drifting then!

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
