edd_t Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Demon Tweeks sell a dual horn, high and low noise both at same time, sounds pretty good. and is in a cool red color too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Think I definately need to change mine, sounds way too While nailing the throttle hit it quickly twice.... I challenge anyone not to think of roadrunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I put a post up a while ago asking if it was just my horn that sounded a bit but i think its pretty much all the J-specs. The UK horns sound a bit better so might be worth trying to find a scrapped UK car and getting the horn out of it. If you get one, of any kind, post up which one and what it sounds like cos id be interested in one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I just went to the scrappy and got a BMW (Yes I know) horn, they have one of the best makes, cost me £5. They are all 12V, wired it straight up, whilst removing the gay one at the top (left the bottom one in place in front of the Rad), and now it sounds more manly. Relocated it only the other week when I fitted my FMIC, it now lives in the passenger side section of the front bumper. I never used to use the old horn as it made me embarassed as it was so crappy.

stevie_b Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I got a hi-low pair of air horns from Halfords. They sounds at the same time, no tunes or anything silly like that. About £15 I think. To fit these, you'd also need some wire (Halfords, or elsewhere). Air horns are good and piercing, but be aware that there is a small delay (maybe 1/4 sec) from when you press the horn switch to when the sound gets produced. This is limited by making the air tubes as short as possible. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickTT Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 i've got a Ford horn on mine. Found it in my dads garage, its very old and very loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Twin horns are designed to work together and produce a harmony. It is best to change both your horns, changing just one is unlikely to produce a harmonous sound. The horn in the bumper is the easiest to change . The top horn needs a bracket fabricating, to ensure it will be clear of the bonnet. Supra horns use a chassis earth, BM and many others use a wire to earth. Just added this pic.

Todd Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 So are air horns standard on the Supra? I have twin horns on mine and I get the piss taken out of me all the time about my gay horns (that sounds so wrong!!!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolsius Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 changing just one is unlikely to produce a harmonous sound. Pedantic 3am moment but surely, as a warning, the less harmonious the better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shovels Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 does anyone know of a 'how to' for swapping with a BMW horn? Or is it stupidly easy? Fancy going doen the scrappy and pulling one/two BMW horns out to have a go - road rage can be fun, but I'm too ashamed to... beep-beep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Supra horns use a chassis earth, BM and many others use a wire to earth. So what does one need to do to get round this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovels Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 ^ run a wire from the horn to the battery - I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
