would you mind doing a HOW-TO for the horn install....i would really like to change my horn out but i 1. have no idea where to gt horns at and 2. have no clue how to do it.

did you get a horn like a train or horn or something along those lines...or just a louder horn?

Does it play the tune from Dukes of Hazard? Cuz that would ROCK! lol

ah, well then that's acceptable. Esp. if you have one of the 'pull cord' actuators for it like the truckers. Cuz that would rock even harder

 

[whitemp5seattle]

that's cool! me wanty

 

[aMaff]

ROFL I just read the description. It would also be useful for getting slow corner workers off course. And maybe even to distract your competitors lol

Cool....I want one too. Will be looking for that how-to.

 

[MyZmZm]

i'm stumped... after disconnecting the stock O2 sensor in hopes of replacing it with the bosch one (and finding out it didn't fit), we reconnected the stock sensor until i can get a new OEM one. but after driving around for a little while afterwards (had to run some errands), my CEL is now gone (scratch) does this now mean my O2 sensor is fine and working? the car still runs kind of rough so i dunno. any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.

 

[aMaff]

The downstream O2 should never make the car 'run rough'. If the primary O2 was messed up, then yes. All the downstream sensor really does is ensure that the 1st Cat is functioning properly.

 

[Mr. 4500 RPM]

I need to do the non-fouler trick soon since i am running a CEL for emissions. I was wondering if i could PB Blast the area around where the second O2 sensor is connected to the OBX to help get it off?

the IAC is easier than the EGR foshua!

just gotta drill another hole in the firewall for the pull cord!(chair)

awesome, if you could take the pics and write up a little how-to that would be great becuase like i said i want to replace my horn and i have no idea how to go about doing it.

any ideas on what could be causing the rougher idle? (it seems to be fine while driving) also, does the lack of a CEL now mean that my second O2 is now functioning properly (ie, bad or loose connection), or should i still go ahead and replace it like i was going to initially (ie the sensor is dead)? when i went to autozone to have the codes pulled last week, this is what came up:
Code P0140: O2 Sensor, CKT No Activity, (Bank 1, Sensor 2)
Code P0037: HO2S Bank 1 Sen 2, Heater Circuit, Low

i'd rather not spend $110 right now if i don't have to; i've just moved to wichita, am getting married this weekend and won't be working for about 3 months (have to apply for my work visa after i get married) so money's a little tight...
