A couple of things I have picked up along the way...

The general way to install tweeters is to put the in the far corners of the dash, where the windscreen meets... the reason for this is it raises the sound stage and makes it sound like they are playing just in front of you... which most sounds places will tell you that "this is the way the music is intented to be recreated".

With that, I have found that doing that will make the treble sound kinda scratchy and sharp... sometimes good and sometimes bad... but this can be helped by turning the treble down a notch or maybe two.

I have been hearing mixed things.. omg, what should i do..

blu-tack looks like the best solution..

Yea my parents camry, has spilts, n the tweeters are mounted on the door handle, and it sounds very good for stock spilts in a camry..

I will be installin them today, so will let you all know what happens.. Will also make a review for these speakers..

blue-tack? no... bad...

Tweeters are directional. The sound does not carry like a sub would. You really need them around ear-height, and infront of you.

Many people use the plastic sails that cover the electric mirrors. You can run the wiring right up the door-trim, and drill a small hole in the sail for mounting and passing the wire through. The sails come off very easily, but make sure you don't break the knobbly bit when you put them back in!

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
