Hey guys, I’ve ordered a Blitz dual sbc type r boost controller (apparently very well regarded).

Just wondering where you guys stash the unit? As I try to run as defect free as I can. I was thinking perhaps in the ash tray, if it’ll fit – I don’t know any recommendations.

Has anyone had any trouble with police spotting the black solenoid pack?

I've removed my ashtray and put my controller unit there. I've thought about trying to mod the ashtray ) so it sits on the top part (the metal) so when you pull the ashtray the unit pops up with it.

I'm not sure if it's possible or even if it will fit but I'll be having a look at something nifty.. till then I've double sided taped some velcro on it and the place where the ashtray sits, so when the ashtray is removed I can velcro it.. If i need to I can push it back into the console and it's not visible.

Can't help you with the solenoid but don't assume because it's visible it's not stock looking, it all depends on how and when you mount it.. If it's mounted with pink hoses and zip ties... well.. If it's mounted with screws and black hoses and looks like it's meant to be there... :)

It can be stashed infront of the fuse box and is hidden by the cover.

Hiding it should be enough, a police search of your car (on the side of the road) can only be done with your permission. They can look under seats and on the floor (without permission) but they are not allowed to dismantle things.

    • 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?
