Hello,

i am taking off the black stripes down each door on a rolla ascent.

when i take it off there is this heavy duty double sided tape.

its not a simple "tear it off" job. because it leaves sticky crap all over the door.

ive smashed it with a few products to try get it off, but its killing me.

does anyone know an easier way to scrape the sticky stuff off?

or is there DIY around? ive searched but cant find anything.

Thanks

lots and lots of eucalyptus oil ..... $5 down at woolies/coles ....... use a microfibre towel and put a bit of the oil on it and rub it with ur finger/nail through the towel into the sticky stuff ...... continually repeating will turn the sticky stuff into a wet guck that will just wipe/drop off ...... thats how i got rid of those dodgy ebay stickers/badges i bought ..... dunno what i was thinking wen i bought them lol

If all else fails use the ol' JJcruiser last resort option... Keep rubbing it with your finger and it rolls off!!!

Try some of this product

Then polish it about 5 times once you've got the big blobs off. The hard work is worth it and then you can show off your sculpted arms to the ladies.

did someone say... my name?

i used goo remover.. $5 from woolies? smells very much like lemon or orange citrus and the edge of an old rsl card/creditcard/license to scrape it off without harming the paint.

wait till its a hot day, use your thumb to roll the glue up starting at one end, mine took bout 30min for all of them and then a quick cut and polish and all is good.

No real need for a goo remover, as long as the glue is warm it should roll off.

use a hair dryer on it and then rub with your thumb till it rolls off it burns your thumb but once its all off or most of it them use the meguiars spray on detailer with claybar

spray on the detailer and use the clay bar to get the rest off and then LIGHTLY micro fibre it off

hope that helps

then wax clay bar the whole car after that and wax it should be smooth as a babys butt lOl

good point there.

from memory, me and the wife were taking these off in cold weather, at night.

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k
