Which horn to get?

su_dios

The factory horn I have in my Fiat Stilo is really pathetic and implies more of a "I'm glad you cut me off there, thank you good sir" rather than a "did you actually just do that you crazy b*stard?!"

Ah you know what I mean. I don't want something loud though just more alike the other cars on the road. Twin relay air horn or something with an Italianish sound? Any ideas?

Here's an idea. Buy a bike with a bell on it:mad:

Oh I might only use it once every two weeks or so, but nearly every time I've used it it would be because someone just dangerously cut me off or something and I'd beep and they would actually wave back at me. No finger.. they would WAVE. Lol so would like something more alike the other cars would have. Seems to be a common thing with Fiat horns

Yes I'll go and do that just to please you! Maybe you would be so polite as to tell me what kind of bike you had in mind and maybe I can call around yours and try the bell out for you just to make sure you are satisfied with yourself then.

As I said here I wanted something more alike other car brands would have fitted. Genuine question and no need for your sh*te. Thank you

just change the horn its mostly a <5min job just hit a breakers yard find the horn from the make and model you want and switch it over, usually its that simple, mostly its just two wires and a bracket. it can get a little more complicated but thats pretty much it.

they're pretty much all interchangable. Just go to a scrappy and get one off a Brava. they're 2 note and much less weedy than the one on the Stilo

Back in the day for a bit of messing the cousin and myself wired up a car alarm to his cars horn. Good laugh for about 4.5 minutes, then incredibly annoying.

I use my feet to mnipulate the pedals that control the acceleration, and braking of my car - hence my hands will be free to push the horn, which is conveniently located on the steering wheel - in easy reash of my thumb while my hands are placed on the steering wheel.
