Mad bits for cars.

Me and Paul were talking about fitting aeroplane landing lights to my Celica and I got to thinking about what other outside the box could be made fit, so after some googling, I found this.

That is pretty damned cool. I used to have a truck horn on my old pug 205, that was fairly loud but that takes the biscuit!

yeah seen some videos on the net about cars passing people on the streets blasting those horns are unreal.

Nice! A friend of mine fitted a Klaxon truck horn underneath his work van, he measured it at around 140 dB lol, but this takes the cake  ;D

TBH they're wasting a lot of the volume by having it boot mounted, seems a bit silly.

Plus I think their driving about the streets regularly blasting people for no reason at all is irresponsible and dangerous. I'm not sure what sort of a person thinks cruising up behind an old man struggling to cross a busy street, then blasting him with 150db is funny. Plus if it was in my neigbourhood that he was doing that I'd gladly drag him from his car and beat him senseless, I'm already pee'd off at the number of local mums that drive around our area beeping at each other to say hello.

haha I totally agree with that, un-necessary tooting really pi$$es me off. Especially if there is a large gathering of cars and people think its fun to play the tooting game and start honking their horn just because everyone else is lol. If everyone had these then it would be nasty.

re having them in the boot, it looks in the video as if the end of the horns pass through the floor.
