Hello,

i am taking off the black stripes down each door on a rolla ascent.

when i take it off there is this heavy duty double sided tape.

its not a simple "tear it off" job. because it leaves sticky crap all over the door.

ive smashed it with a few products to try get it off, but its killing me.

does anyone know an easier way to scrape the sticky stuff off?

or is there DIY around? ive searched but cant find anything.

Thanks

lots and lots of eucalyptus oil ..... $5 down at woolies/coles ....... use a microfibre towel and put a bit of the oil on it and rub it with ur finger/nail through the towel into the sticky stuff ...... continually repeating will turn the sticky stuff into a wet guck that will just wipe/drop off ...... thats how i got rid of those dodgy ebay stickers/badges i bought ..... dunno what i was thinking wen i bought them lol

haha yeah ive use eucalyptus oil on it.

it got rid of most of it, but if thats the only way.... haha.

its gonna take a few hours then lol.

looks 10 times better in the end though

love those subs :D

thanks :)

they go pretty hard haha

Nice wheels :D

All it needs is a little lowering to set it off.

yeah thats what i want to do next, not sure how much its gonna cost me though...

whats an average price? and how much would you lower it? a few inches?

Great work. Good to see team white 1ZZ going strong.

I think it's time to shave the door strips for the cleaner white look

haha yeah.

i want to take them off, but im not sure if it would ruin the door or not?

are they easy to take off?

nice rimz.. very sportivo looking.. what type exactly and size tyres?

Thanks dude :)

ummm, i cant think what they are off the top of my head.

they are 17x7

not sure what tyre size though

Specs -

VVTI 1.8L

17" wheels

2" sports exhaust w/ 3.5" tip.

TRD air filter.

2 x pioneer subs.

excuse the dodgy mobile phone photos.

let me know your thoughts :)

2. dry horn contacts

No horn contacts in those mate, I'd say his clockspring for the airbag (and horn, btw) is rooted.

The sqeaky noise is probably your fan belt.

I had the same problem with my 98' rolla.

but i recently got a 03 stivo haha.

just take it too a mechanic dude, or buy some WD-40 haha :)

Danz put speakers in the back like that but only very small ones for SQ.

Seriously I've seen this about 5 times before, members make a post just like yours, then two weeks down the track they just end up putting the speakers in the rear doors and be done with it. Easy option and OEM appearance, simple and neat.

what size speakers fit the back doors? and the front for that matter? 6" or 4" ?

Well putting 6x9's is a cheap and effective way to get some nice thumping bass without sacrificing much space.

What are u planning on putting into the rolla anyway?? It would be nice to know what your future plans would be

yeah i dont know, im thinking about it, but im not sure. i do have a set of alpine 6x9's but if i screw up the cover thing.

Umm, im planning on getting 17's i get my exhaust next week, my subs are already in. so yeah, i might lower it a little.

i have a 98 rolla that ive done a bit too. but its a hunk of **** haha.

but yeah, thats about it, just wheels, and exhaust, and a bit of lowering.

You will need to fabricate your own parcel shelf with some MDF and reinforce it with some metal plates or stronger wood that won't bend over time. It also must be very secure when mounted, I would hate to see the outcome of a parcel shelf let loose in an accident or something similiar.

Cheers

thanks dude :)

Hey guys,

i recently got a new corolla 2003 ascent hatch. i am wondering has anyone installed rear speakers in the back ontop of that carpet thing that covers the boot?

I am thinking about doing it, but i dont want to ruin the boot cover thing, the speakers dont really fit as one part of the cover is raised up.

So if anyone has photos to show me how it would look, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks :)

speakers in rear doors ? most rolla's have this .. if not you can screw spacers to the parcel tray

no no no no not in the doors man, up the top near the boot, behind the back seats on the cover that sits over the boot so you cant see it.

thanks

Hey,

Im looking at buying some decent wheels, what is the legal limit on ascent? 17?

thanks
