New Horns

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:28:51 +0000

I installed a new horn the other day and wanted to post a thread with my impressions. Before this horn I had a set of hella supertones. They sounded cool, and were very loud, but they are "hella" sensitive to water. One died after it was exposed to a little water (not sure how -- they were mounted high up inside my bumper). I did some research and there are tons of threads online about the hella supertones dying all the time due to water exposure. My buddy got me this horn for my birthday and I love it. It's the Nautilus horn by Stebel. I think they are used a lot on motorcycles, but the horns sounds great on my car. From what I read, they are a lot more durable as well. Certainly louder than the stock horn and the hella supertone horns.

Pros: loud. small in size, durable, relatively inexpensive
Cons: awkward mounting setup

I mounted the horn to my battery tray. All it required was a single screw and shaving off the last notch on the battery tray with a dremel.

Below is a video. Sorry for the crappy quality but it should give everyone a good idea of how the horns sound.

Ta Coilovers - Jjfab

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:17:04 +0000

We added the TA Coilovers to our catalog due to the interest expressed by some in the performance section a while ago.

I have installed one of these in my car for evaluation and so far I am impressed with the handling and performance. Its stiff but not too harsh over bumps. The suspension is only height adjustable, no dampening adjustment.

For installation I recommend installing brand new spring seats and either go with the IPD or XC90 version.

They are available now for $599 shipped (cont. US).

Some pics of the suspension installed on my car (it may settle more with more time, installed the previous night)

If you are interested or have questions, please feel free to reach out to me or Joe (550).
