Dropby Baskin Robbins at Chapel Hill tonight to get instant answers to your questions. To answer it briefly, yes. By installing a new ecu (doesnt really matter which brand) will improve any parameter you wish. For example, you might want response over high end torque/power and having said that you'll probably will lose fuel economy at the same time too. In most case fuel economy will be slightly better as they're rich when stock.

Whacking a powerfc by itself into your car wont do anything and it's actually it's only got a base tune for your car and if you buy it second had which most times you will the power fc will have been tuned for someone else car. I have an almost completely stock car but with a Nismo exhaust my car was tuned to 187.1 rwkw from a powerfc which I was freaking surprised at but in the end a lot comes down the the tuner and what you want. If you want a "speed/power" tune your going to get some economy sacrificed, most people get a power tuned laced with economy just because your not going to need so much power really unless it's a track car and with fuel prices the way they are it makes sense. There are also a lot of other ECU's out i've heard some good things about Emanage but it's all down to user preference, personally I love the hand controller and love the knock sensor on it although if you get it don't bother getting the Power FC Boost controller add on I heard it's shite

      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?
