SoundWave Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hi all, I am now the proud owner of a white J spec 96 RZ TT. Quite a major step up from my Clio! Have been driving it since saturday and am just beginning to get used to the size of it, let alone the power! I do have a couple of questions: 1. Where is the horn? I havent looked very hard but it didnt seem to be in the usual places. 2. What does the MANU button do on the auto box? 3. Can anyone recommend a good garage for services/MOTs in the south central area? Bournemouth/Poole/Southampton Here are some pics. I know the veilside kit isnt to everyone's tastes. Keeping it clean in this weather is going to be tricky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoundWave Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 It is the standard Toyota steering wheel. It has an air bag in it but no buttons on it. Can't see a horn symbol on either of the stalks. I am being careful.. but the traction control has stepped in a couple of times...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hi mate and welcome to the club. Please please please take your time with getting used to the power. Rear wheel drive and the cold weather really doesn't make for appropriate driving conditions when you have this much power. There have already been some horror storys and fingers crossed no more.

Should be a push horn.....push on the steering wheel....if its not working check your wiring etc...usual stuff....if you draw a blank here get down the breakers yard for a new one!! Word of advice as well dude......DONT under any circumstances depend on the traction control to save you......a lot of members have this switched off as its more risky having it on....if you do a search on this you will find loads of info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 once you are used to the performance, you will find the traction control is poo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Welcome to the club mate Very nice looking example you've got yourself there. Do you know what mods are on the car? From photos can see Veilside front and rear wing, aftermarket wheels and exhaust. Get some photos up of the engine bay, interior and brakes etc. so we can have a proper shufty and play spot the mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I've not seen many white facelifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 hi and welcome. that looks cool. where are the side repeaters? Facelift don't have them, they have side makers on the front and rear bumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundWave Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 There doesnt seem to be a horn on the steering wheel. I know there is one somewhere cos I set the factory alarm off by accident which used it! Mods wise: 18" wheels (not sure what kind off the top of my head), veilside front and rear, HKS exhaust, Blitz dump valve, Blitz turbo timer, ARC aluminium induction box and a front strut brace. It also has larger than standard brakes but I think these are the factory optional ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 There doesnt seem to be a horn on the steering wheel. So nothing happens when you press the airbag? Could be just a blown fuse if not, or a wire off the horn switch under the airbag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 There doesnt seem to be a horn on the steering wheel. I know there is one somewhere cos I set the factory alarm off by accident which used it! The entire 'airbag' think in the middle of the wheel is the horn, just push it Welcome BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURT Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 welcome fella. got yourself a nice one there so i would seriously advise getting RLTC, i had a few spins with the std traction controll and it cost me a new front bumper! price is about £600. fitted and its amazing you can drive with full confidence that the back wont go unless you want it to.send Matt Harwood a pm about it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
