I have ordered a spoiler for my Presara and was wondering what is the easiest method to disable the stop light in the back window. As the spoiler already has LED stop lights, I don't want the existing back window stop lights to come on - I think it will look a bit funny with two stop lights on top of each other when looking from the back of the car.

Thanks in advance for any advice! :D :D

The easiest way is the most obvious... unplug it.

The connector will most likely be underneath the parcel shelf. You may be able to access it through the boot.

Thanks guys - I'll check to see whether the plug is easily accessible from the boot. Just hope I don't have to remove the back seat to get to it.

Cheers.

At worst, you would only have to remove the parcel shelf. The parchel shelf however can be removed without having to remove the rear seat.

Thanks Daryl, thats comforting to know that I can remove the parcel shelf without having to remove the back seat.

i think you should keep it plugged in - could be handy for truck drivers who may not be able to see the brake lights on your spoiler itself (highly unlikely but it adds more distraction ahead for them to be alert i suppose?)

Thanks for the tip, fortunately, the routes that I normally use does not have too many trucks so I think I am okay. However, it only takes ONE truck!!! :( :( :(

You have to push the brake assy towards the back window and then lift it upwards... It clips in from the top...

Pull it out, disconnect the wire and clip the light assy back into the parcel shelf :) ...

Thanks Rolla Boy, I'll give it a try tonight and let you know.

Cheers

      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.
