you need to pull the badge towards yourself sometimes the badge is friendly and comes off in one piece and leaves no glue on the panel

before you remove the corolla badge you may like to mark out the position of it so when you replace it with a different badge it will be in the factory position.

if you also want to remove the side mouldings you just pull them off.

how does it look without the side mouldings? A bit weird? I was contemplating ripping them off too but i thought there might be some holes left behind.

P.S.

When badging, dont do what i did. I did mine spur of the moment and almost ripped my fingernails off... Still, it looks good on a black car without the busy badges at the back... On the 1zz which i assume you have from your other posts you can also remove the "seca" stickers quite easily from the boot thingy,

i thought that at first, but then i used my nail and it came off the easiest of them all, maybe our cars are different, you have the face-lifted corolla right?

I asked toyota to remove all of my badging bar the toyota 'round' logo on the boot. and that has now ben replaced by the Camry 'sportivo' badge (nice and black)

Although the one i did remove myself was just to leave the car outside in the sun for a bit and then carfeully pull it off without twisting it (one good thing about QLD weather :P )

The camry badging is slightly smaller than the stock chrome one,so you have to cut off the 2 pins and then line it up right and use a soft black pencil to draw the marks on where you want to stick it...then stick :)

I had toyota take of my ASCENT badge before it got deliverd, it looks much cleaner especially on the colour black ..i would recommend to anyone to peel'em off...looks but better..

a terry towel and eucalyptus oil from ur local super market ...... i was a bit sceptical when the guy @ repco recommended this to me but he was 110% right ...... removed everything ..... the euco oil turns the glue into a sticky gunk and as u keep rubbing it with the euco soaked terry towel the glue just gradually rubs off .....

To get the glue from behind the side moulding all you need to do is use your thumb to roll the glue from one end to the other, works a treat. then if the car is a little old you might have tarnishing so give it a slight cut and polish to clear it up, you may not see the tarnish unless you get below the lines and get reflection on them.

      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.

      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.
