My current Pioneer CD MP3 Player 50*4w. Has a remote and a steering wheel one too. Quite cool to change the track if working /cleaning the car from outside but in reality I've hardly used it

My old Pioneer head unit, the MOSFET chip inside cracked and split some how so wouldn't make any sound, how rubbish, sub sometimes worked! So what do I do, buy another new pioneer! Crazy, seems ok this time though!
Head Unit before stock item was a Sony CDX-4270R 40w*4 which was ok but didn't do MP3 so had to go

(NOW SUPERCEDED old Lotus 118 BHP engine)The best bit, Lotus Elise 1.8 16v power!!Nice and clean under the bonnet too, engine is standard at the moment, but added a gas bonnet strut and clear distributor cap, sadly the elise logo is the wrong way up as the engine lives in the back of its intended car!!

class metro, they're a great car. I had one with a 1.6 out of a 400 in it on the 1.4 box. It scared the shit outta me lol, It's in the scrap yard in the sky now. The lass who bought it took it into the back of a brand new bently gt at 110 mph, I dont thing i was as angry as the bloke with the bently. keep up the good work
