Im looking to remove the Toyota Badge from my original front grill.

Tried to pull it off, looks like its stuck on.

i did it!

YAY!

There are two little knobs that poke out at the back of the grill where the badge is.

Using a hairdryer it heats up that section (hence loosing the glue) and then with some gentle pressure push it out.

Probably easier with two ppl than one person.

Took me about 30mins to take it off.

Whatever you do, dont try to try pry it off from the front, you'll end up damaging it.

Mario sprayed his badge black. Looks freakin mad. If I had a black sportivo I'd probably be a smart **** and put gold lexus badges on it just to take the pyss and mystify ignorant people lol.

you got a pic of how it looks? just for curiosity's sake...

it looks like a plain toyota badge :P

I'll post some photos up tonight.

Im thinking of sticking the Toyota badge in the middle of my aftermarket grill (cos the grill looks kinda bare without anything on it), what do you guys reckon?

would it be the facelift version or pre??

Pre facelift.

To get the Toyota badge off the grill was taken off too, i dont know how i would be able to de-badge it with it still being on the car.

Step 1: The stock Front Grill

Step 2: Heating the Grill

Step 3: Pushing out the Badge

Where I've circled in red is the two points you need to push at to get the grill out.

The badge is held to the grill by double sided tape so heating the grill with a hairdryer while pushing the badge out helps loosen the bond.

Woohoo A Toyota Badge

actually it's very easy to remove front toyota badge on facelift rolla.

it's only clip on and all you need to do it use a thin, flat headed screw driver and place it 4 and 8 o'clock on the badge and lever it out. mininal force required.

      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.

      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.
