Oooh yes, a train horn would be nice but goodluck fitting it in a five! I was shocked that i could fit the truck horn in. I've actually got a second truck horn i may get around to fitting as well. (they come in a high and low frequency) I've already sussed out where it may fit too 8) but i think it may be overkill.

If anyone else was interested, just go to a truck grave yard/wreckers. We got ours for $20 i think. I just needed to buy some new pressure hose.

JimmyJ5 I really think it is quite amusing what you have done-and very neat- a legend in ACT but 2 of them maybe overkill.....

Geez, that must weigh a lot.

Does it upset the 50:50 weight distribution of the 5? Has handling been affected? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

The horn itself is light as a feather. The tank on the other hand is not so fortunate. I'd say it weighs the same as a space saver. It can easily be removed by simply unscrewing the connector nut to the tubing. It's definately not something i would want in the boot while on the track.

Newton's third law of motion:
\"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction\"

-Jimmy's horn goes off
-Jimmy's car goes backwards

So, if he points a dozen of these things backwards, does it work like a nitrous switch ?
