Yep Aircraft(Chopper) Tech in army was what i was going for, talked to a guy in the Woden recruiting office about it and he said it was the most challenging and the certificates at the end were the most rewarding. They are even fast tracking people applying for this job because its in such high demand...

Slept so bad last night, couldnt stop thinking about it. If it was something I could work on and fix id be fine with it but like leigh said, cant do anything about it which just makes it harder.

I'm still going to go for the defence force though, the navy recruiter I had my interview with went through the exact same thing as me (he's red/green colour blind aswell) so he gave me his number (*sings* "in the navy") and said he'd help me out with what options were available and which ones would interest me the most out of those. Pretty much my only option if i really want a decent job in the Defence Force is if i go for officer but most of those are just desk jobs which goes against the whole reason i decided to join DF in the first place, to get away from Public Service jobs. Bah disappointing...

Im only 19 Skylvia ;) Yea its a fail once fail forever

just got my quote from trojan. $7400 for fairly standard rebuild with forged pistons, $8600 to do the rb24 build :S plus aobut a grand for a new turbo as mine is fcuked dunno whether its worth going the rb24. im going to be struggling to pay for either i guess heh

or the other option is to get a import motor to replace yours, or just a reco job with out the extra bits... Good luck motor rebuilds suck. Done the mini a few times now, just because its a mini doesnt mean its not a pain, so small and fiddly. Good quote though

    • This piece is obscenely discontinued. I honestly hate the frameless window design because the rubber gets stressed and the guides as well every time you open and close the door.
    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...
