all you need to manage to do it is a press, snap ring pliers, circlip pliers some gear pullers and a decent tool kit with all the standard crap, oh and an oxy wouldnt hurt... if someone posted a diy thread up that was spot on but had all these tools that ppl ask what the hell is that for do you think they would go and buy them just to do a gearbox... good pullers are a couple hundred with long arms, knipex snap ring pliers are like $120.. then a press and oxy... it all adds up...,

maybe you have the tooling to do this... maybe you dont but a lot of people probably wont and posting a diy thread on how to do this could end up with heaps of half stripped gearboxes on ebay cos "something broke" when the wrong tool was used.

it was said before gearboxes shouldnt be taken to with a shifter, a hammer and a screw driver.. but if you got tools get the manual and give it a shot

my 2 cents...

i have the manual pm if you want it...

I think everyone would know it isnt a diy job for the most part, and wouldnt go spend hundreds on tools, a press, then the parts to rebuild on top. The cash spent to get a shop to rebuild it would be worth the outlay and save a headache of doing it. Most people have the common sense to read between the lines and know when somethings worth doing in the end.

Then again, if someone comes along and says that they can rebuild one, id like to see how they manage. I dont care what Jim Bob does after reading it, with his screwdrivers and hammer :happy:

      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?
