Pig Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thought you might like to see me put together my under £500 legacy for the scum run im doing in april. The project began this weekend with wrapping. Got over half the car done, not bad for a 3 novices, too much beer and normal vinyl rather than car wrapping stuff. Lots more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Who's Dave? Looks good Jon, which one is Dave The one in the santa hat. We are going to make a sports button especially for him for the trip as when i lent him the RS4 for the weekend he didnt realise there was a sports button. Poor bloke has been ridiculed ever since. how about putting the peter solberg pig all over it url]http://www.es-designs.net/images/items/subaru/rally_pig.jpg[/url] Maybe, we still have to put our heads together reference the pink bits as pigs, polka-dots and flames all seem to be on the menu.

Pig Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 for the next stage i need some members help. I NEED an airhorn like on of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24DFiLfzjfE Im thinking of getting these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130351169785&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I have a air tank that will supply me hopefully enough air without a compressor? Can anyone that might know help me in the next 26 mins? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Easier to fit, and cheaper http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12V-twin-chrome-horns-with-train-siren-sound-V-loud_W0QQitemZ250537914701QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3a5539314d This one is similar to the one used in the video, though you'll need an air supply. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ORIGINAL-DEISEL-TRAIN-HORN-200db-WOWW-TRUCK-LORRY_W0QQitemZ110465872344QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CommercialVehicleParts_SM?hash=item19b84771d8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for the Hadley ones as they look so good and I didnt want to miss out on them. It comes with a certain amount of fittings. I have a diving air tank with compressed air in. Do you think i will be able to use this and will it last ok? Will the amount of pressure 130 psi will these horns take it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Did you still want to know something about scuba cylinders Jon? I used to be a reasonably senior scuba diving instructor. Don't feck about with pressurised cylinders BTW, you could regret it: a 12l has more explosive force than a grenade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 http://www.nextag.com/hadley-air-horns/compare-html You would be better off using a little 12v compressor mate. Project looks great btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feck about with pressurised cylinders BTW, you could regret it: a 12l has more explosive force than a grenade. No messing I have a 7l (old nitrox cylinder) that i use to fill my air rifle. If its complicated I will seek help but it will hopefully be ok. http://www.nextag.com/hadley-air-horns/compare-html You would be better off using a little 12v compressor mate.

A little compressor will work just fine but it wont be as noisey, im hoping it will be offensive as its all in air of charity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple blasts or one blast. That is the question. It's a bit too expensive and not keeping with the whole scumrun ethos though, so it's a no here.

Thats now very much on the short list! Thanks andy. What do you mean about it not keeping with the scumrun ethos? Have you done one before? Is it important to keep money spent on the car down?

Jon I think so yes. It's called Scumrun. However that link pointed at what I thought was a compressor but was just the storage tank bit. So 45 dollars went to 185 dollars for the full install. I'm sorry I didn't spot that earlier mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Ok, Help time Got the horns tonight and they are somehting else! I hooked them all up to check they worked and because i couldnt wait etc. 2 promlems i have encountered are the small plastic type washers are single use and that i need a pipe that can take pressure from the tank to the manual switch as the brake pipe they gave me is not designed to take any pressure and therefore pops. Could anyone help point me in the right direction for which pipe and what to do about fittings on either end? Or do i just find the right shot and get them to make me the required length? Jon http://www.hadley-products.com/catalog/Catalog.aspx?cmd=prd&div=4&srch=1&prd=147 These are the "plastic washers" that i need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
