Ive been mucking around with a new boot badge this weekend, guttered the old one, added a new emblem etc etc.

But now I need to stick it on. What sort of glue do you guys recommend. Im after something like what they stick the factory badges on with, that stuff is pretty sticky.

Im gonna add a sweet scull into the front grill and go for a bit of a "punisher" theme on my car.

Pics below, only stuck on with blue- tac for effects.

There are a couple of ways of doing this, test it before actually doing this to your car, i see some people using really expensive double sided tape, making sure that the surfaces are both clean and free of grease, apply the tape onto the badge first then onto your car and hold for 30 seconds or so. another way is to use contract glue, the expensive stuff, not that stuff you get at woolies. mark out where its going onto the car, brush it on (masking tape may assist but remove whilst still wet or you get little stringy bits) both badge and boot, wait till try making sure no dirt flies onto it when wet and press together and hold for a while. The contact glue was used on my toyota badge by a professional as i watched him do it and the tape was done by my friend when he ordered a holden badge as his one was pried off. But test on scrap timber or metal to see which one suits you, its a shame if it fell off or gets stolen. The double sided tape is more neat, but the contact if done properly lasts for ages.

Eargunk probly said half of this but i cbf reading through his post anyway ive stuck many badges on my car and from experience i find that all you need to do is

clean the serface of both things your boot and the back of the badge with some turps or metho

get some 3m or scotch i think there the same but w/e cut it to shape or just to fit on your badge and stick her on ive done it a few times to my rear toyota emblem also because ive took it off to paint it and never comes off and is as hard as toyota factory i used to work at toyota and they dont use any glues that i know of for badges well at least not for the camry and aurions

3M double sided tape, very clean surface, light and even pressure on the badge for a few minutes will work best, whilst not compromising the paint. The 3M stuff is brilliant.

I've used silicone to paste badges to motorcycle engines and they're still there after 100K ks, tolerating the heat and vibration. Not sure what the silicone will do to paint though.

get some devcon into ya!! haha

seriously though, this **** is great... it comes as two seperate "pastes" that you mix together and then apply onto both surfaces...

NOTHING will get this off... pretty sure if you wanna take it off later, you'll have to take the paint off with it... :lol:

Cheers Boys, thanks for your help.

I was thinking of maybey the silicone option, as i still may want to remove it down the track.

Its pretty heavy metal, so i dont think 3m will hold.

Yeah, go for the automotive black silicone (gasket silicone). That stuff sticks pretty good. Just make sure you don't make a mess with it.

      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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
