P.S im never getting anything MIG welded ever again. TIG welders are a little more expensive but im over sh1tty @ass mig welding to be honest. After having that TIG done by an engineer today it just looks the part. like its meant to be and came like that from a factory.
lol, MIG is always more easier and cheaper, but your right TIG just joins and blends in better
??
i thought he was saying the opposite
Im pretty sure its TIG thats has a cleaner blend....dam why did they have to make there names so similar.
which one is which? i forget. lol
is MIG the one that has a gas bottle and where the welding wire comes out of a njozzle with a trigger?
and TIG uses a stick-like rod?? or is that JIG or something?
ahh!!!! stoopid job sending me brainless! i need to go back to TAFE and learn something usefull!
They both gas but i think different type of gas...
and i thought it was TIG that was Stick rod fed and MIG that came out the nozzel.
yeah my bad i'm lost.
TIG - uses a stick to weld, good for stainless, Alloys etc..., nicer welds, takes longer
MIG - uses a gun with the reel coming out of it. Point and shoot. Good for mild steel & easy to reach areas. Much quicker
just had to let you perth guys know if your interested. For my List of 80+ mods which needed special attention for 10 of them which the department of vehicle and reg said i couldnt have but the engineer signed them off (external gate, hand held ECU controller etc etc) and wrote approval back to department of vehicle and reg so i could keep them. Plus a list of 4 things he told me to edit on my car, which were small items e.g window sprays werent working (forgot to plug them up after putting my CF bonnet on). He only charged me $450 in total. $250 initially and then $200 for the Signed off approval form with all my mods on it.
Apparently my car had the longest list of modifications he had ever had to do and usually he said its much cheaper.
So im not to sure why people spread a bad word about engineers and how they are harsh or how they cost over $1500 for simple mod approval. This guy "Sea Shelf Eng 92461600 11 telopia dr duncraig " He is the Bee's Knee's....
If you have a honda and what to modify anything on it even if its something crazy going turbo, putting s2000 motor in your EG, go see him and im sure he will approve it and if he doesnt he will tell you what you need to do to get it approved.
Best move ive ever made to HELP! getting the cops off my @ss once and for all.
that is cheap. Cost alot more in Sydney. I got quoted $850 last time i asked.
Should go for a holiday and get it engineered at the same time
Probably...he said usually it costs around $300 all up but cos my mod list was massive cost him a bit more time into investigating crap and paper works.
I second this,
My Engineer signed me off with external wastegate, stiff coilies, BOV and aftermarket ECU. He did visual checks all over and noise test. There is this new thing in which engineers have to take pictures of you car and its mods. I guess this will save your ass from "muppet" cop that try to convince themselves that you've changed something and you're deemed for another canary when the setup is perfectly legal.
It was the same as FastFwd, $450 total, $200 at first inspection and $250 when you pick-up the documents. Great guy, drives Prelude and builts kit cars in his workshop so he know what he's talking about -> Terry Southam Engineering Willeton.
Pictures hey.....
I think im going to have to look into that because he didnt take pictures for me. Im seeing him again tomorrow ill talk to him then.
