Changed Rear Speakers......
best you can afford 6.5" JBL/Infinity/Pioneer/sony/kenwood u get me .... just none of the cheap tat around m8 if its a nice budget u have for them try and get some two way components and mount the tweeter on the door higher this will give u a better vocal point

Manual conversion and high idle?
i though the idel had to be reset anyways from auto to man due to mass/load from the auto box on the car as the manual is a more free running it will be higher

Changed Rear Speakers......
nope m8 . u can get them to fit behind the door card .. you will need to remove the metal shaped deflector and make some wooden oval rings about 12mm thick and then mount the hole lot on to the door it will give u a good sound with some decent bass too just make sure u get your live/neg the right way round as u dont want the speakers phasing each other out

Changed Rear Speakers......
yep indeed ... speakers from 70's right up to late 90's used Foam roll edges as this was the only way they could get a better "true" sound but over time it would go hard and start flaking off untill u see what u have now

NZR - How easy is it to change an Almera timing chain?
the only problem i would see is no timing marks .. u would need locking keys but all so very very limited space remember when getting the chain cover off dont damage it as u dont want oil leaking once its bk on ..

Radio Controlled cars.
the nitro engine still holds its own against the new brushless stuff ... the new engines that keep coming out Rev up to 50k .. yep 50,000 rpm the only little problem there is the engine would cost 300+ for it ... where as most engines in the cars are arounf 32>38krpm ryan that buggy does a good 40mph off road comes with 7.4v lipo but would take a bigger 11.1v lipo and take the speed up to 60+ trust me its bloody fast!! top speed comes in around 2sec lipo batt to replace £36avg charger in box is ok but not that fast .. u looking around 2.5hrs per charge ... new charger £50 will bring charge time down to 30>40mins per charge

Talk to me about turbo rebuilding/replacement
its left no bitter taste as you say i think there service has been no different to any other turbo comp really they have rectified the fault with the turbo but like i/you/others know theres many factors involved why turbos and engines fail Proving it is an other thing ..... if your looking for 400hp there abouts your on the limit of the standard tubs if u can try and get a small hybrid made on the lines of T28 there abouts give u a little more go ..

Talk to me about turbo rebuilding/replacement
ok have you tried midland turbos ... rebuild prices are about £180 inc 380* bearing ... this is a standard upgrade that turbo shops do these days slightly bigger bearing and thrust plate that covers most of the compressor wheel @ the back it helps in more boost and ware/tare of the hole tub
