Anyone here worked for/with Sierra Nevada Corporation? I'm have an internship lined up there for this summer. Just curious.

i haven't but I talked to a dude at the career fair. He was utterly useless and pretty much told me to apply online.

How did you get your internship?

My neighbor works for them and handed in my application personally, idk if that had any effect on it.

yeah it does. It means they may have actually looked at it.

Aren't you a first year student?

Take as much advantage of that internship as possible. Getting your foot in the door anywhere that early can be very rewarding. Even if they just have you pushing papers, act interested and talk to everyone you can. Congrats on the internship.

^ that. Internships are the best way to get hired after graduation.

Yeah, I was worried I might not have the qualifications for it, but it seems to be ok after calling the guy

Is this the Eric I sold the M42 to?

Yes, I am. Its Erik though. :)

whoa 2002 M42 swap? that's awesome!!

Yeah man just check this forum for meets

Awesome, i havent been a member on r3v in years. glad to be back.
The swap should be awesome. Should have it on the road tomorrow.

Yeah a M42 02 swap would be awesome! doesn't metric mechanic make a 2.2l model as well?

I did not know they made a 2.2L is it specifically for the 2002?

this pic is from a couple days ago, while the Por-15 was drying. its a bit cleaner now.

[iamsam]

by the way, Erik, I will soon have an entire M42 drivetrain available for part-out if you need anything. The M42 itself runs but burns coolant and mixes it w/ the oil bad, trans works great.

[conway]

Did you have them order the valves or did you source and pay for them separately?

Ordered them directly from VAC.

Congrats on the internship, just got an offer as well. Only mine will be in Ruth, NV. Not much to do there except shoot at the desert.

It's a summer one so I won't start until May-June, I assume, I'm not quite sure.

It's just a Mechanical Engineering Internship, probably just bitch work but that's fine with me :D

no no, just a kit to bump the M42 up a bit.

Want to do some more tile work? I don't have a TR6 to trade, but cash! Trying ot find someone to lay 300 sq feet of slate in the basement....

I'm interested for sure. I'm up to my elbows in the TR6 project. I will have time to do next month if you want to wait that long. If not have a friend who could probably do it sooner. LMK
