Do you have a need for a complete system all in one brand, or are you willing to mix and match to get the best value for your money? This is personally the way I went - I'm pretty happy with it and none of the items are of the same brand.

Well i doubt its "shit" and will sound fine.. just for similar money spent on other components you would probably get a better overall result. I used to have some Sony stuff in old cars, but wasn't ever that impressed. I'd always get into my mate's Alpine system car and could immediately hear the difference.

Most of the effort with Sony stuff these days seems to be in the design/aesthetics rather than the actual quality..

But horses for courses, its depends whether a person is one that notices those smaller details (or cares), or just wants a nice system to listen to each day at a reasonable price.

predator666 is right, i had some sony splits in my first car and as soon as i got into my mates car with pioneer splits i could hear the difference so clearly. i could have had the same speakers for the money i paid on the sony's and as a consequence i won't get sony car audio products again.

well admittedly i've never been in a demo car ... but i've been to most shops and talked to many friends who are audiophiles .. i got one friend with probably 4k of sound system in his integra ... i have not had one of them recommend pioneer except for head units so i can only go by what i've been recommended .. also of all the speakers i've auditioned in the shops .. i have to say that none of them has impressed me ... nothing like focals or eclipse ... i was lookin at a hot 4s magazine the other day and i saw some review of splits which costs from 1.5k to 3k .. WTF?? i guess everyone has their own tastes ...

nothing like focals or eclipse

they are nice speakers for the front i agree :)

if i didnt have pioneer i would def go for these HOWEVER!

my system is worth over 4k.... but that isnt the point.. i agree that everyone has their own tastes however if you havent experienced the top of the range blah blah blah everything cheapish will sound unappealing. :) rock on :D:)

my system is all pioneer. if you have a listen and tell me mine is shit i will sell it straight away and buy whatever you recommend ;)

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
