so you are trying to do a burnout by dumping the clutch in 2nd or 3rd gear from a standing start? well for starters unless you have shitty tyres you can't going to get get much going on. if you have decent tyres then they will just grip and not spin. secondly, i'm guessing that if you have 425hp then you have a bit of lag, so you aren't making much torque in the lower rev range which is what you will need.

also how are you doing it? are you holding it on the rev limiter and then dumping the clutch? if not, then you are the problem. actually come to think of it, trying to do a burnout starting in 3rd is stupid to start with.

this was done in the rain ,very crap tyres , clutch popping for drifts, it has never had this problem befor, it normLy spins up no worries, also foot to the floor in a straight line car spins first second and third normaly in the dry, but in the wet yesterday when boost was coming on in second doin about 70-80 back wheels start to spin but the it just cuts out savagely, normaly spins back wheels in second from about 70 to 100ks , so i need some ideas why its cutting out all off a sudden in the rain

    • 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?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
