Me so horney

[orkboss]

Now I mentioned this before on a redundant forum but the standard horn on e30 models is pathetic, in fact its so bad I am too embarressed to depress my button when passing friends (too warn them of my presence of course in a legal manor). Soon to be back in my 316i saloon which has a decent horn rippped off a 7 or 5 series. For the size of the car and look it doesnot deserve a little beep more appropiate on a mini.

I took the horn off my CRX and put on a twin tone horn from a Cavlier and it sounded much nicer. The standard Honda horn was so gay you'd be embarassed to use it!

The horn on my Sport is quite nice actually.

[DanJones]

Ive got twin tone air horns on mine...sounds like the horn from rally cars...i love it.....only about Ԛ£20 from halfords if that and you can get triple air horns for roughly the same price also and the blue trumpets look quite good in the engine bay

I don't need a horn,I just shout out the window.

You can't get a horn which says "You fcuking waanker!"

[Simon]

E30's higher in the range had the twin tone horns as standard anyway, you only need to add another horn to the E30!

What about lorries then! They've got to have puny horns, as loud horns are seen as being threatening!

Is this really true Si?

[orkboss]

Is there enough room in front of the radiator and behind the grill. Might be a bit tight for the cone horns.

Yes they're also not allowed to use their air brakes in towns etc, as the noises can frighten people!

I managed to put 2 horns in front of the kidney on my 316i, theyre supposed to be mounted above the foglights though, one each side.

The standard is slim diaphragm type. It's not the same.

Bloody 'ell,never knew any of this (but why would? I ain't no lorry driver!)

Very true about the air brakes though,i've been made to jump quite a few times by these,usually by buses mind.

Some poor alo granny could have a heart attack!

I only added a low tone horn to my 316i, and it sounded exactly the same as the twin tone on my 325i sounded.

Neither am I!

[smithy318i]

Im
My horn is in the middle of the grille, and doesn't sound like a
micra or punto horn.

so you say the standard ones are next to the air ducts?

If the car was fitted with the single tone, then I believe it was fitted behind the kidney, if it was fitted with the twin tone, then they are fitted above the foglights one each side.

i read in the sun a while ago that a mondeo had the most aggresive horn out at the moment, think i'll need to blag one (pair) from the scrappy as mines sounds like road runner
meep meep

I know your not,your just the Master of Information!

[Martinaston]

I had an 83 320 with twin by the fog lights.
I used to coast up to people dragging there arse across the road and scare the crap out of them.
I'll have to do a bit of digging in the garage tomorrow

[DanJones]

ive mounted my twin tone air horns to the back of the headlight cover on the left hand side...plenty of room to mount them there as well as the compressor and still sounds plenty loud enough

ABS pump is located here on ABS fitted cars.

[DanJones]

oh rite.....mine doesnt have the luxury of ABS.....makes coming into corners fast that little bit more exciting though

[Zayyan]

Would a late Lux have the twin or single horn? I think it's aggressive enough to realy suit the car, it's a nice horn

You should hear the horn on the Citroen.....parp parp

the smell of garlic and onions gives away the presence of the citroen long before a horn would

my 320 horn is ok-dont know whether its twin tone or not,and dont really care as long as it toots and passes an MOT then 'im good with that

however if I ever get a charger it needs a 'dukes of hazzard' horn

[stevo]

i was inspired by this thread
i was seeing my mate at his work and spotted a calibra outside waiting to be uplifted to scrap, so i took the horns out it.
its a nice 2 tone mellow number now
