Hope you do manage to get the coilovers on, it will look incredible
I've heard talk of learning regarding the ECU too, I don't think the word learning is strictly true to be honest but rather the ECU will pluck different values from a pre-determined range dependent upon input sensor values such as lambda, temp, engine speed etc.
As long as these pre-determined ranges contain suitable values for the different input values due to the mods then you should be ok. If not, that is where a re-map comes in.

The above isn't based on experience with the 180 ECU but rather my understanding of how an ECU works in general.

Anyway, I'm talking too much. Re-map for race car points.
I'm getting more excited at the prospect too! Just wish the paintwork was in better condition but that will come with time.
Just paid for the coilovers this morning and they'll be with me by tomorrow so their courier is ace! They needed a rod doing so more than I was expecting but I paid far less overall than buying new so I'm pleased.
I also just ordered so gear to do the arches which will be with me by the end of the week so if the car is done (saw it on the garage forecourt this morning which may be promising) I'll try and get it all widened, trimmed and fitted this weekend! I'll spray penetrating fluid everyday I have the car back up till its time and I have a blow torch which may help with the bolts.

Glad the car is serving you well though! It'll be good to see it in the flesh!
When my saloon was stripped out it definitely felt sharper so it should be good!
