mplavery Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Ever since I have had my Supra (J spec) the horn ..well..... Sounds a bit pants.... A bit embarrassing really for a aggressive car I'm guessing all the J spec are like it ... So has anyone upgraded there horn ? And I'm not talking Air horns or horns that sound like a 1950's car either lol I have the front bumper off at the mo and maybe thinking of getting a UK horn which I'm hoping will sound better ... Or something which will be a simple plug in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st3ven1 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Toyota do a "premium horn kit" which sounds more beefy. Sure there was a group buy on them many moons ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) New, I'd probably go for a pair of Hella or PIAA horns. Cheaper versions are available. Used - down the scrappy for BMW or Mercedes Hellas. They should be marked high/low, or in hertz. Take some cable and you can check that they work before you leave. Not sure if the standard wiring uses a relay, but it wouldn't hurt to use another one.

Ian C Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Oh deary me. You know there are two horns of slightly different notes to make the sound "fuller"? And it still sounds weedy. Well, one of mine has some sort of dodgy connection somewhere and if I lean on the horn it quavers in and out, making the whole affair sound even more pathetic. It wouldn't be so bad except mumble mumble codemasters recorded it for Grid 2 sorry sorry Edit - Find attached my humiliation of the Supra world Horn.zip Edited January 31, 2013 by Ian C (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right you normally have a high and low but on mine i can only see one unit which seems a bit to small for a twin tone horn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
