The AUSubaru.com.au Forums

I was beginning to think ebay was about the only online search engine for buying stuff - auto and auto elec, then there is amazon but get feeling they are not local.
I decided it was time for a pair of air horns , high and low tones to keep them ADR compliant , looked in ebay and not much better than retail prices in there. Somehow happened upon soldsmart website with an Oz address and picked up two sets delivered in a few days they claim for $36.

Was thinking just go a coupla old Commodore or falcon horns just couldna be bothered facing a wrecker that values them more than a new set of air horns.

And if anyone knows where a mate can get a car horn that sounds just like a train ffwwFWWAAANnnggg horn, please say, not sure if they are electric or air driven

DISCO ??

maybe compile a list of websites you get your stuff from locally in Oz?

actually a really good idea

whats this sold smart thing? first ive heard of it

Now we are talking.

In the US, there is a whole genre devoted to this! Websites, forums etc no different (well, a bit different you would say) to us.

Example

Spike, hello stranger, just add a dot com dot au - not a search engine, just an aus based retailer of goodies passing on saving to buyer - as they all do

Come to recall the train sound horn - think we spied an electric box like covered in heatsinks ??? purple anodised. It was just one of the amusements the 4400cc Leyland P76 V8 powered, Celica 5 speed cogged open air triumph stag offered - that and the squeal in third as it was booted around a bend at low speed

Whaddid I do? They are now nil stock !

Hahaha

the 1st one would be guaranteed to scare the c**p outta me
2nd one would have me looking around for a ship in the fog

There's another guy over there with a cruise ships foghorn mounted in a Toyota Scion.....

I don't know about finding them in Oz, but I'd love to mount a set under the bonnet of Ruby Scoo - driven from an air tank that's run off a converted AC compressor.

You can get them on fleabay though I'd say that air is the best way to go, the electric units just don't seem to cut it.

I put one of these Stebel Airhorns on my Forester and it does the job for me, it is compact and loud. I used the standard horn from the Forester's horn and then installed a relay and an inline fuse just in case.
