Hey Guys

Just bought some of those slimeline weathersheilds that i have noticed some of you guys have got. B) i think they look cool

I have read up on the instructions but i thought i'd check up with you guys regarding anything i should know before i get started with installing them?

After installing more of these things then you have had hot breakfasts... my suggestions are this... (assuming these are the stick on ones....)

make sure the area you are attaching them to is clean... once you think it is clean... clean it again just to be sure... use a lint free cloth to do this. (NO tussie or kitchen paper...)

In the pack should be some alcohol wipes. Dont suck on them... they taste like crap... not that i would know... a friend told me... yes, thats right.. a friend...

Dont open these until you are ready to use them...

Do you have a heat gun ? kinda like a hair dryer, but HOTTER!! it's not 100% needed, but at least a hot hair dryer is. A hair dryer will just require more time to heat the same surface area... DO NOT! heat the area you are sticking the shield to (ie: the car).. what you need to do is to heat the shied and the tape to a point where you can barely touch it. how hot?... about 4 degrees below melting point... ok, so not that much... but the shield should have a nice pliable feel to it.

once its at that pliable point... clean the car with the alcohol wipes and peel up the ends of the paper off the tape and bend them at 90degrees to the tape. The shield should now be hot and pliable with about 1inch of tape showing at both ends... these are the mount points.

Mount the shield to the car and make sure its stitting where you want it. it should be stuck down at both ends and have the two tabs showing. grab these tabs of backing paper you bent out before and slowly remove them all the time pressing down where the tape is being exposed...

Once you have removed the tape, go over the shield again with the hair dryer/heat gun (dont over heat it with the heat gun... it may burn the paint... but if you know what a heat gun is, chances are you have used one, therefore know about them...) be sure to press down on the taped area...

Leave to cool...

Do the other side now... repeat from step one...

When you are done... take your wifes hairdryer back inside and wait for her to abuse you for using it, and explaining to you how much it cost and how sensitive it is... chances are you know, because you paid for it in the first place!

Not that that last part has ever happened to me... maybe it was a hair straightener i used on the sleeves of my fave business shirt... but thats a different story!

That's a quality writeup there pegaxs. Always has that special touch to it.

As that was being read in my head I was thinking, but then you simply get back by saying that you paid for it... then I kept reading:

... chances are you know, because you paid for it in the first place!

Now I really cracked up. I like you style.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
