Hi-- The rear boot spoiler on my two door 34 gtt has a bit of movement in it. I checked the nuts that secure it and there tight. Can anyone tell me if there is supposed to be a rubber pad or some other material that sits between the boot spiler and the boot lid itself. Appreciate any help

Thanks

Carey

Hi,

When i rippedo ff the spoiler off my gtt, there was a thick layer of double sided tape that was stick on the bottom of the spoiler and the boot.

Hope that helps.

i took mine off too, you should find some tacky sponge like layer that holds it down , if not it moves than someones already removed or played with your spoiler. try your local panel shop, they can give you some of that sponge stickt crap and try re sticking it

They move.. its just the way it is .. better than it bending the shit out of the bonnet.

FYI it does break off mines reached very high speeds.

I have been to 180 and havn't seen any movement, rattling, nothing at all at that speed straight line for a good 2 minutes at 180.

Unfortunately i have a speed limiter so i can't reach a higher speed to know if my spoiler will rip off haha, but it shouldnt come off at speeds higher than that anyhow! Plus you'd hope aerodynamically at any higher speed that your spoiler would help you keep some sort of downforce if anything. not fall off....then again they arn't exactly made for downforce but none the less they should do something, but definately not fall off.

I'd say what the guys above already have said and that is to just get some strong adhesive that will keep it in place or if you really love your spoiler, resin is your best friend :bunny:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
