I my opinion they should be just under the center air vents!!

Because you have to monitor all the time the engine .....adn if they are aslow asthey are now you can't see nothing.....or you can see but if you check them at 100 mph you might aswell crash:))

mine were gone altogether and the aircon stuff moved to where your radio is now, some Jap guy did it so he could fit a double din radio

Aye it was all still there but not working due to some1 changeing/messing with the wireing i presume when the head unit was changed, had to rewire the front door speakers, tweaters, and the sub and amp what a head acke lol all sound great now really impressed with it, heres on for ya Gav i see from an old thread you had the Rpm guage working, now its never worked from day one iv had the car, was its power feed or earth run of the cd player and mabby been disturbed when it was changed by any chance havnt traced the wires back my self ?
And Great job you did of looking after the car its a great example im proud to own it, but the bloke i bought it off said it was forged ect :evil: iv just got myself a runabout for the winter and have pulled the motor out to stick sum shiney forged bits in so its all good:)
