Not very hard at all, just a case of paying the right person. Incidentally its not uncommon to get honked at from behind if ur stationary at a set of lights when they are red and there is'nt much traffic flowing from the path that has the green light... :D

Trust me that is a rather quiet n calm clip, u ain't seen anything yet! Gets a little more interesting when you have an entire family on a bike/scooter. i.e Husband,wife and their 3 kids...

The first thing to fail on most imported cars if they were'nt oirginally designed for India is the horn.

haha reminds me of when i went to Pakistan last year.

That's exactly how it is, if you're not an aggressive driver, you'll get nowhere.

Plus side was that nobody adheres to the speed limits. :bunny:

You'd be surprised how fast Corollas can go.

i know a guy who lived in south africa for the part of his life where he learned to drive etc and he is an excellent driver, because they have no road rules there its whatever you feel goes, so you have to be aware at all times when driving. sounds stupid... but he is a very good driver due to having to deal with all the shitty traffic situations over there.

besides i hate traffic anyways, gimme an open highway anyday.

It might look shocking but its surprising to see there are almost no accident comparing to over here coz ppl are cautious all the time.

true .. unlike here in aussie, where people would follow all the rules therefore they seem dont care about their surrounding as long as they follow the rules. driver in 3rd world country are very good. they always catious all the time.

True what you guys have been saying about lower accident rates...

I just came back from a trip to the Philippines visiting family.

The driving over there is hectic compared to Australia, yet most drivers generally are couteous & attentive, more assertive than agressive drivers.

The coolest part is that the cars over there are left hand drive, it felt so weird for me to shift gears with my right hand :P

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
