Added some onboard Air,MUUUAAH<---evil laugh

[gshadow325]

CROSS post from volvospeed.com , I just needed to share this with my XC90 brothers and sisters on the other side of the pond. Enjoy

So i was on a mission to get 18" PEGS to replace my beat up 18" Atlantis wheels. Taking the advice from a friend that said "Oh yeah they will fit" I bought them. XC90's have a 67.1 centerbore, theres are 65.1. They dont work Now that i had the afternoon free since i was planning to mount my wheels onto the XC90 and do some more HIDZ in the hi beam, fogs, and add another set to the rear tail lights. I have a full AIR RIde setup and didnt want that to start rusting out so......MUUUUAAAH <-----thats supposed to be a evil laugh LOL

I added the following to the XC90

Two ViAIR 480C Compressors
One 5 Gallon Tank
One 1/2" to 4 1/4" solenoid
One Set (4pcs) of Hornblasters Airhorns
One 1/2" Solenoid

This recipe = LOUD @SS GTF out of my way sound.
original project


Alternate project


Jacked up


One


One is good two must be better


Look at the happy family, i already can hear the beautiful music that they will be playing together..the sweet sound of HONK


Need to recycle this box


Crappy out of focus picture


Ahh thats better, gotta clean those stainless steel mufflers


Dayum, Who's that ugly bastard with those beautiful horns and chrome air tank LOL.


After 5hrs of fabrication to get all that equipment up under the truck, the next day i was feeling the need for this.


Here's a video just to give you a idea what was done, not my video!

btw- this sytem is connected to my horn honk for my alarm system. it also can be pulse at will with my Android phone. Also the extra 1/2" solenoid is for remote air dump to purge the airtank

This is supposed to impress who, exactly?

Perhaps its a UK thing, but I don't "get it"

What's wrong with a nice set of these... ?

those dont make enough noise! Its actually a USA thing to make this type of noise! It lets me warn people that i am coming when i have to rush to a accident i actually do other types of these systems for other volunteer civil servants (fire/police).

I guess it doesnt impress you LOL

Actually, if you knew what the cost and what was involved to do this. You might just retract that statement. Hey no sweat, you dont like it I dont care. Thats why its my Volvo and you have your own.

Looks like enough to scare the $h1t out of anyone

If they are for genuine purpose such as you describe, then that's a different matter.
However your video only features rather juvenile behaviour.
By the way, use of your vehicle horn in this manner in the UK would constitute a motoring offence.
Each to his own as Bestgear has said.

NAAAAAHh.....never no bad feelings LOL, i do this kinda stuff on a daily basis. it helps me sell more of these systems if i have it installed on my own car.

A basic system like this costs around $800-1200USD depending on how complicated the install will be. my system would retail around $2k because of the uprated compressors and other misc componets.

Honestly, who NEEDS to have HIDs in the reverse lights, or big airhorns like these, or alarm and remote starter with 1 mile paging, or GPS tracking with cell phone capabilities, or backup camera, or dension ipod adapters, or flo-tv, its a disease!!!

I have some Dixie horns (Dukes of Hazard) that my brother bought for me years ago. Alway's fancied putting them on the Volvo, just never had the time. Its the 2 year old in me according to the wife. I just fancy giving them a blast, and looking around with everyone else to see who the imbecile was who did it. I believe there is no point in growing up completely! The only worry is it may lead to jumping gorges and Sheriff baiting! I suspect these aren't thing that are advisable in an XC.
