haha yea, its good times lemme tell ya
especially when camping...and quiet time is 10:30 and.... there is a church group camping next to you and wont shut the fuck up!!
they sure get quiet afterwards though 
scenario = Its 12 midnight, we are sitting around the campfire playing a "movie quote" game (which btw our group flew through those cards in about 20 mins and got all but 1 right) anyways we hear "Praise the lord!!!" loud and oh course people over there cheering and hollering back at the minister to the point we couldnt hear outselves talking...Sadly I wasnt the one to think of it, but a member of our group wanted my car keys, at this point i knew and handed em over. So he takes my car, backs it right by their church tent and HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK for a good 5 seconds. I think i heard people fall out of their chairs they got so scared...Needless to say they shut up...
and btw they were doing this for a good 4 hours beforehand to, lol

I don't know if anyone elsed mentioned it or if even you have thought of it but this would be the perfect way to piss off your neighbor since you were looking to do that in an earlier thread. That I would like to see video taped, when you piss him off so much that comes out and starts yelling at you that would be priceless.

haha upgrade means bigger solonoid to allow more air, higher psi setup (150psi from the 120 now) and bigger air lines, 3/8" line from the 1/8" i have now.
plus the main reason is my compressor is only a 10% duty compressor. aka it can run for 3 minutes, but stay off for 27 minutes. Thats why it kept overheating. This new compressor vlair 280c is a 30% duty and puits out more cfm. aka meaning it can run for 13 minutes, be off for 17, and fills the tank in 2 minutes..plus im getting a bigger tank (2 gal) so i have to do new air, i figured i might as well upgrade everything else while im at it.
The horn will hit 152db after im done, guaranteed....right now its floating around 135db or so.

well i got into a paypal argument with the seller since he false advertises his kit on ebay and is a total douchebag....I won the arbitration and now debating turning him into ebay services so he has to change his auction..
basicly his kit doesnt do what he says it does and the compressor combo blows donkey dick..Its only a 10%duty compressor i found out meaning for ever 3 minutes its on, its has to stay off for 27 minutes and take s3 mins to fill the tank......meaning u can use the horn once maybe twice in an hour then the compressor shuts off and you just gotta wait for it to cool down.....really blows
ill talk to my disributor and see what I can get you guys a good kit for....assume about $300 for a full setup.
