there looks like theres nothing wrong with your reo bar, the front bumper on the sides screws up into the quarter panels, and there are no supports on the bottom, there is the plastic liner that screws into the bottom of the bar though, but not structural, the only bit that really needs to be modded for a fmic is the part where the core may hit it,

i have recently done my fmic so i sorta remember what it looks like

Sorry I meant to edit my first post, that is a pic i found. Mine only has the main metal reo, no side liner or plastic part in the middle. Did your originally have the lining and the plastic part under the main metal reo?

if that is your reo bar it looks uncut to me

i like most to fit an fmic had to cut little triangles out for each side of the core cause the reo bar wouldnt fit back on without,

the only other bits i had to cut is on the front bar, i had to cut the black plastic stuff thats in the large center hole and abit from the lower left and right duct under the fog lights

yeah it kinda does but there are two screws on either side which screw them up into the quarter panels which holds it in place, and on the bottom side if you still have your splash gaurds, i think they are called will screw into the bottom of the bumper but i dont think that really matters too much its more connecting it to the reo and into the panels

    • 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
