A kid in an early Magna nearly reversed into me yesterday. I gave him a blast of the twin Lucas horns and he nearly sh@t himself.

A bit of work on the standard horns and they are great.

willy has already mentioned it - our late model Astra has an awesome horn, scares me as well as the guy I'm abusing :wink: The irony is a lot of the big holdens have crap horns...some commodores sound like kids toys. Must be a germany/australia thing.

Looks like the deisel locomotive horn is the clear winner. Now, where to mount it? :lol:

For a cheap solution it's hard to beat the standard horns on Italian cars.


That's hardly surprising really, given how the Italians aren't driving unless they're leaning on the horn :lol:

:evil: im pretty close to buying the diesel loco horns from that horn blasters site. not only would it be comical BUT im sick of letting people merge infron of me and not getting a wave so ill give em a hand signal after my horn blast :) might achieve nothing but it makes me feel better and thats all that will count

OK, so I ended up going the Supercrap option, $20 Chinese dual air horns, and you know what, they're not half bad. Scares the crap out of the kids, anyway :lol:

Looking at the parts, I figured it was going to get ugly mounting them on the car, but turns out it's actually gone really well. I mounted the horns under the wing up behind the headlight, using holes already in the panel. The compressor went down near the coil, again without needing a new hole.. and the air hose too. Pics tell the story much better 8)

I know what you need Simon.

You need one of those 'Woop, Woop, Woop' sirens they have on destroyers.

I can see it now 'Woop, Woop - I'm going to battle stations you a/hole, so get outta my way!'
