iv got them on my car 2, looks like everyone has them then. However it seems like a good thing though as I can see a couple or spots that look like they have had a few stones thrown their way and the sticker has done its job and saved the paint and taken the impact. Silver paint FTW dosent stand out that much when the car is clean

I had taken off those stickers. Was an absolute pain to get the sticky stuff off. Dunno how I got off. I used a combination of wax, clay bar, this bur/tar remover and alot of elbow grease.

Half way through taking off the sticker...I thought I shouldnt have started...but is all good now.

My echo has those stickers as well...I hadnt taken it off but there are heaps of stone chips around the sticker!

ur lucky! haha

i'm might not have had any sticker but i've actually had other things go wrong with the V since i've bought it.

only had the V for about 5 months but have had to spend over $2k on it.

it's been good for the past couple of weeks but i'm dreading to think what will go wrong next.

spending 2k on FIXING it or spending to mod it? they are 2 different stories~ :laugh:

Got them and will ask the detailer in a few weeks to remove and polish that section up to match

White cars sometimes are the worst!

Hey Matt did you get to book in Mark from Dr.Detail? what did he say about your problem?

Im removing my sticker toms!

nah just fixing it

i would of loved to have spent that $2k on mods...fingers crossed i won't have any more problems

and while we're on the subject...

in the last 3 months....I've had 'fixed'....

Gearbox rebuild...$4000

Driver's door lock actuator $400

Fuel Flap/door motor $N/A (fixed myself from spares)

Battery $100

Passenger Power window motor $400

Clutch and Fly wheel (no, not part of the gear-box!) $1500

Brembo brake pads/rotors renewed $400

mmmmmm.......good farking thing I didn't have to pay for it!

Extended warranty really is a good thing.

Battery came out of my own pocket....fair enough.

He came and saw my car. Said the white ones come up great.

He said the problem was most likly the stuff is sticking to the car alot more than others because there is so many hills and vallys in the paint. I did get it off with the clay bar, but it was a stuggle.

Once the car is detailed and smooth, should be a breeze to wash.

Mark was great to talk with and i'll be booking it in very soon.

i bought privately so had to bear all the costs myself. Should of bought from a dealer as all the problems with the car would of been covered by warranty.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
