What's this service sticker?
I'm thinking it's the cambelt service due to it's location and the service record diagrams that I can make out it's all in japanese and can't read it . Any thoughts?

Speaker set up??
agree totally ditch rears completley fade it all up front. I'm running a set of 6.5" polyglass focal components(they sound super lursh) up front from an alpine 4 ch amp bridged to 2 ch to get the power up to about 110w rms. sound deaden the doors and boot(this is VERY important for sound quality ), floor also if you want. Stick a sub or 2 in the boot, jl audio and focal rock but jbl gt5's are brill bang for buck just check out the audio forums:D all your doing by adding rears is producing a sound that will just muddle the fronts clarity as the speakers usually used for rears will probably be of different brand/make/model therefore producing a completely different sound. If you MUST use rears use the same type as front but in such a small enclosure ie a car you wont need it.

Busy weekend sound deadening doors
cool you should be able to do most of the car with that lot fella, boot floor everything. Sticks real well just ensure you wipe the panels with meths or ind alchol to get grease off sticks like sh!t to a blanket :D

Busy weekend sound deadening doors
that's what i've done it's everywhere both skins. It's not too bad with the outer door skin just have to cut it into small 6"ish squares and overlap them. I managed to do the whole outer skin no problems a REAL improvement in sound quality.

Busy weekend sound deadening doors
yup get door card off wind window up(to gain access to inside of door cavity for deadening) clean door down with meths to remove dust & grease residue, cut matting into workable squares for each area, stick 'em on everywhere you can basically overlapping and use multiple layers to get it nice and thick, press them down firmly or use a small wallpaper roller. When fiished you can also get a hairdryer on it to warm it up and give it a real good firming down

Busy weekend sound deadening doors
it's bitumin based 2mm thick(like dynamat but a little thinner but easy to apply in multile layers) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3m-x-1m-Car-Audio-Sound-Deadening-Proofing-Sheet-Mat_W0QQitemZ250487022764QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item3a5230a4ac&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 this stuff and it feckin ACE! took about 8 hrs to do both doors both skins inner and outer more pics for craig, comes in a flat folded sheet you can put it on any metal panels in the car really. I have to do the boot next to get rid of vibration there(although it seems to have gone by just doing the doors) , strip that out and sheet it. Some people do under the carpets too but i'm not gonna bother as the carpet should cope with that ok

Busy weekend sound deadening doors
Having read up up bit on car audio forums this had to be done apparently. i was unconvinced until I actually fitted it to my doors this weekend. I got about 1.25 sq metres fitted to each door over a few layers inner and outer skins and the difference is unbelieveable. Even just closing the door on the car makes a huge sound difference. This is by far the best £40 I have ever spent on sound even changing from a £50 pair of speakers to a £250 pair didn't make as much difference. Also fitted the polyglass focal's too and it sounds stunning now. Tedious and a little mucky(bitumin based self adhesive) work but a BIG thumbs up for sound upgrade:cool:

Another ebay W@#ker
after many years of fairly smooth ebaying I have encountered a proper idiot. After 3 weeks a few emails sent no response a claim and no item . He finally responded threatening to sue me for leaving negative feedback(the feedback was in no way abusive or slanderous) i have since had numerous threats to remove it (also 2 types of court civil and crown action :rofl: ) turns out diggin up his past feedback has threatened this before to others. Also turns out his uk status is actually malta so he's misrepresented himself too. His emails are quite funny just hope paypal sort it(they're twats too they've given him neraly 2 weeks to provide postage details WTF) he says he's uploaded tracking details which he hasn't. must think I'm a freekin boner, what a pen!s rant over
