Haha well I'm not sure if there's a proper way to do it but I used a heat gun (or a hair dryer would do) and fishing wire to slowly and carefully take it off, there's a couple of pins on my rear badge which I had to slice around. Then I painted it and reheated the same glue to put it back on :)

Haven't really updated this post in a while, been busy with uni, exams, work, spending money on the car, stuff like that :)

Since the last update I've bought new HID bulbs for the car, woke up one day and realized that the ones I had were stuuuupid, so I just bought some cheap ones off eBay from China.

4300K for low beams and 3000k for foglights.

Got different rims + rubber too, thanks to mick :) Awesome grip compared to the Nankang's on my stockies.

And I decided that the car was a bit too high for my liking..

IMG_1339.jpg

Yeah thats right, COILS! Got a set of BC BR's from OTR motorsports, $1299 brand new. DId a home install and everything seems fine.

Here's a slightly clearer picture

Loving the stiff ride...not loving the crappy roads in west sunshine.

And finally after reading reviews of Permanon on the forums I decided to try it out, very affordable and it seems to do what it claims.. now to see if it actually lasts for 6 months :)

This is a pic from last night, clay bar and Permanon-ed yesterday afternoon. iPhone camera doesn't really capture how much the car shines though!

And that's it for now guys :clap: Definitely no more spending for the next few months as rego + insurance is coming in :(

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      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.
