Hi All,

Silly question, but I thought I would ask before I go ripping something I cant afford to fix :thumbsup:

I want to remove the R32 spoiler, but I have gotten rid of all the bolts underneath. Next step is lifting it up. Im assuming its held down by something along the lines of double sided tape? Mine seems like a bitch to get off. The cars also had a respray, so going by the way they did the rest of the car im hoping it is actually blue underneath!!

Any help would be appreciated :thumbsup:

It's double sided tape and it is a bitch to get off. I've got a spare boot lid with a spoiler I wanted to take off and it took two grown men to take off the spoiler. The tape did its job really well. And for the paint, I would imagine that it will damage the paint if you try to clean off the excess glue or rip the paint out with the spoiler.

If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't take it off. I wouldn't want risk the paint work.

Cheers

Yeah, probably a good idea. The tape also I was a little cautious of because I dont want any more rattles in the car because the suspesion is stiff as hell and if it doesnt go back properly it will probably just rattle.

Cheers

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
