    You could have got them from sealsdirect.co.uk might have cost a bit more given the current exchange rates.

    Recently found a pair of 6x9 3way speakers I forgot about a long time ago (attic is pretty big). ;)

    Had to make bigger holes. But I am VERY lazy, so went my own way:

    Looks like a disaster, I know. Taped all sharp bits over with Duct tape.

    Frames and grilles painted:

    Look from the inside:

    3inside_phm.jpg

    And from the outside:

    Sound's far away from perfect, but still better than factory speakers.

    And I got them for free. :D

    Google ads is giving me ads for personal injuries claims now. Any interaction I've seen with a tin snips involves a realistic chance of fatal blood loss haha.

    Was having a gander in the engine bay of the focus and seen the snorkel from the maf to the trbo was badly split. Bodged it with duct tape for the moment. Running better now and quieter.

    The Duct tape will not hold it, I tried on an older Focus.
    Foot down, bang, tape gone.

    No wait, that was from intercooler into the intake. Disregard! :D

    Ha I think it must of split when I changed the air filter. Should really have disconnected the pipe from the maf/top of air box rather than just bending it back and popping in the filter. Live and learn :).

    Is your preference to align with the studs or go for the diagonal? I think diagonal.

    Depends on the positioning of the valve cap tbh

    Easy. I know you did it anyway:D

    Bring it up to 34.02.

    34.03 if it is your first visit there. Pretend you know nothing about 0.3 outstanding;)
