Try a product called De-Solve It. It is a citrus smelling product which will actually desolve the sticker. I doubt it would damage your paint, but it would probably be worth checking first.

That's what I was on about!! De-solve it. Works well on sticky crap.

Ive tried that, sticky and smelly and prepsol still works better than it, plastic razor blade FTW

possiably try a hardware store for a plastic razor

Hi guys, this is the story i dont like the stickers they came with the car. Its a clear sticker looks like a expensive one, each corner is so tight its not funny. I've used.

Heatgun, wax & grease remover, and turps nothing works.

Nothing has happened to the paint yet but im not got to respray a whole guard over one sticker. There has to be a product on the market which can eat this away. No way can it come off like a normal sticker.

I've added the picture cause now, ive made it look like shit lol and need to take it off completly.

Please let me know anything, but im not using anything that could harm my paint. and please only tell me on your experience not just a theory you heard off someone lol.

Anyway i hope you guys can help me out. Thanks :wave:

go to a auto paint shop (dont go to supercheap or autobarn) ask them for a "caramal wheel" i got rid or stickers off the side of my last car in about 20 mins, a sticker that size should come off in about 1-2 min.

its a softrubber wheel that you attach to your drill so when u runn the wheel over your sticker it peels of the plastic coat and glue without marking the painted surface.

cost about 15 buck and is very effective.

good luck

Yeah man cut and polish should fix that easy, but try using some of those little 'magic eraser' sponges from a hardware show/supermarket first they are like a solid white foam block which get rid of glue residue pretty easy and wont screw up your paint.

Good luck :D

get something like this.

http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/a...ler/output_html

i use these heaps to get off old double sided tape or old stickers 10-20 years old.

just use it on a drill.

its rubbery/plastic, and it wont affect your paint, just dont sit it on the same spot for 20 minutes heh

you can definately get them from most sign places like "supply 1" at morningside. i cant seem to find it on their website though.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
