View Full Version : Hella Superton horn set installed.
Mavrik 06-19-2007, 03:11 AM Finally got my hella superton horn set installed thanks to most of scoobytech's help. I painted and assembled both sets, he's installing them. Hope and I bought a set each for our cars while at PDX and so yesterday I got around to dismantling them to paint the casing. She wanted black to blend in on her Legasti and I wanted white as a contrast to stand out behind the black grills of the STi.
I'll post up more pics of the install on her car once we do it. Right now just got mine in tonight.
While painting.

Indoors without the flash, they don't stand out to much which I like.

Pretty small stock horn compared to the hella superton horns.

Now I want someone to piss me off on the streets so I can sound these bad buys off. :D
Firestrike 06-19-2007, 03:13 AM Looks beautiful Phil. I must say, I like the centered look, did you have to drill a new hole for it to be even like that?
Mavrik 06-19-2007, 03:15 AM nope no drilling. Dale used the hole for the outside air temp sensor bracket and moved that to another hole instead.
AKLGT 06-19-2007, 03:17 AM guess it worked out that i was working on my day off... as always. dale did an awesome job and these suckers are freaking LOUD! can't wait to get mine in, but i prefer the stealth look. i just want them to HEAR ME. ;)
Firestrike 06-19-2007, 03:17 AM Ah, I guess that works too.
mvm42699 06-19-2007, 03:20 AM Nice color match! Lucky for you guys, I had to take my bumper off to get to the horns. Evo has some weak horns.
BTW. Got the Spring presser things?
Mavrik 06-19-2007, 03:20 AM Ah, I guess that works too.
You'll just have to use a different size bolt, a smaller one.
Firestrike 06-19-2007, 03:22 AM Mine are fine where they are, they are out of the way.
I love that color match though. Good job. Don't forget to floss. Tooth.
kyleblix 06-19-2007, 03:26 AM nice Phil, those look great. Can we get a pic from a little further back?
cooparu 06-19-2007, 03:53 AM Looks great, Phil.:)
Mavrik 06-19-2007, 01:14 PM I'll get a pic today of how it looks further back. I took one yesterday but it was dark and overcast... you couldn't see the horns.
looks good phil i was gonna do this with the tc too even paint them white =)
i have them on the trix and theyre fun to mess with
Mavrik 06-19-2007, 01:57 PM Well if you need help JC let me know. I can at least paint them lol. I got white paint left over.
SQUAD_907 06-19-2007, 04:08 PM those put u in SM now! :p
Mavrik 06-19-2007, 04:37 PM those put u in SM now! :p
HAHA yeah right :D
bikefreax 06-19-2007, 04:44 PM You should take off the black thing behind the center of the grill. That way you can see them completely. A buddy did this to his 06 and it looks a lot cleaner. All we did was remove it and paint the bolts flat black.
Jaylyons1 06-19-2007, 05:15 PM looks even more like a pig now!
prometheum 06-19-2007, 05:28 PM i spy a big brake kit

that sounds like a good idea... but doesn't that piece protect the hood latch from dust, bugs and other stuff from coming through?
Firestrike 06-19-2007, 06:06 PM that sounds like a good idea... but doesn't that piece protect the hood latch from dust, bugs and other stuff from coming through?
LOL. with amount of dust there is when driving, that little piece of plastic is not going to help you much.
oh ya and when/if you have a security system be sure to hook these up
some of my bros friends hit my car with a basketball and the alarm went off and damn i was blasting some guitar heroes and i could still hear it go off serves them right tho for hitting my car.
they hit my car ill make them go deaf hah
Alaskan_awd 06-20-2007, 12:23 AM Lookin good.
AKLGT 06-20-2007, 12:24 AM guess mine will go in later this week. it's busy...
ScoobyTec 06-20-2007, 01:19 AM sorry Hope:(
hey hope try installing em yourself theyre not hard =)
it was my first wiring job i did myself
probably gonna order a set for the tc soon
AKLGT 06-20-2007, 02:31 AM sorry Hope:(
things happen. we'll swap cars on thurs. i'm working the kiosk thurs night, so i'll just stop by conti before my shift and swap. no big deal. didn't need to use my horns today so i'm good. ;)
AKLGT 06-20-2007, 02:32 AM hey hope try installing em yourself theyre not hard =)

i have been banned from the engine bay and just about all things wiring related.... i am still cringing thinking about trying to fix my current wiring nightmare from the car pc disaster.
Jaylyons1 06-20-2007, 03:44 AM startin to wonder if I want the hella's. I make the mistake of setting off my car alarm at least twice a month and every time its so friggin loud that it almost scares the crap out of me. with the hellas it might not be almost anymore.
Jaylyons1 06-20-2007, 03:46 AM those put u in SM now! :p
mu hu hahaha...would be fun with more people in SM. Although its already pretty competitive!
prometheum 06-20-2007, 05:59 AM so whats with the instruction manual for the brembo gran turismo brake kit?
MikeyMike 06-20-2007, 08:50 AM so whats with the instruction manual for the brembo gran turismo brake kit?
Was wondering the same thing.
Hi-Speed Solutions 06-20-2007, 11:46 AM why would we install those in the STI? they come standard on the car. ;)
Mavrik 06-20-2007, 01:08 PM its from the brake upgrade performed on the Legasti.
