Air Horns Preview...
I'm not done yet. This is taking me forever! I want to do it right though. I even have fuses. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] All I need now is the wiring. I started it already, but I'm not done yet. The last picture sucks 'cause it was already very dark and I think I jiggled the camera. Pictures 1 and 2 are in the digicam still...

You're doing a great job with it! The install should be perfect when you are done. You must be a pro at taking that bumper on and off....
Hey Twilight.... LOOK! More horns to make your ears bleed!!!

Well hurry up with em man. Do you need some help? You know you can save it for an install tomorrow, it shouldn't take that long since we've done it before....

Two new pictures are up. #12 and #13 I had to re-wire everything twice! I finally figured out how the wiring should go. It works, but the sound is very weak. I think it might be something to do with the fact that I'm using two compressors. I think that what these "compressors" do is thay they make the air pulsate. I think that by using two compressors I'm actually cancelling out some of the air pressure because the tubes leading into both compressors are of different length. I'm going to un-hook one of them and beep the horn again. If it's louder then I know what the problem is. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Edit: Video is up. Small test. Not working 100% though. It's quieter than the stock horn. Although at one point it really got loud. I don't know what the problem is. I'll figure it out though, that's for sure. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

[hr]Nah, I don't like the look that much. At first I did, but I kinda changed my mind over time. I might get some projectors though. I was almost convinced with the TYC's, but now I'm waiting for something else to come out. The Angel Eyes ones are kinda k3wl, but only one of those rings are there... I'll wait a while longer for something else to come out...[hr]

Nah, I think it looks allright. I got a chance to see the TYC's in person. They looks really good on an NBP. Anyway, there's a way to get projectors without having to pay for them. Just sell your stock headlights to a body shop. They'll take them off your hands if they're in perfect condition and they'll give you enough to cover the costs of projectors. That's another reason to not clear them. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

True, but I plan on getting the last model year of the 7th gen civic coupe. Then I plan on transfering all of my modification to the new civic. That way I can sell whatever I want now, swap with my new civic later and then sell my old civic. No problem. Oh, and I'll never sell my new civic.

Previous discussion was kinda Off Topic. Oh well, back to the topic at hand. I figured out what the problem is. One thing is that one of the relays doesn't work. I tried fixing it, but it looks like one of the tiny wires in the coil bobbin snapped. Can't see anything wrong of course, but it doesn't work. That's for sure. Another problem is that when only one compressor fires and the other doesn't the horns sound very weak. I can make one compressor go off and I can clamp down the tube leading into the other compressor. When I hit the horn it's really loud! All I need now it to buy another relay. Actually, I'll buy two since these relays seem flaky. Now it'll take me as long as it takes for the relays to get here. Then I'm done. Yay! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, I bought the relays and they'll be here on Friday. I guess we'll know then. That is if they get here in the morning, 'cause I'm going to NED on Friday. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Allright, I got the relays and I installed them and it's pretty loud. I don't know how loud, so we'll have to compare them with Duane's. I updated the pics too. #14 and #11 are new. I think I'll use #11 in my Member's Rides section. Joy!
