Got my 3/4" plug from Home depot for $1.77 and plugged the hole in the firewall from the sound tube delete.

How do you like the hella horns? Been honking at shit drivers lately and I feel like the car’s stock horn is too weak.

It’s pretty loud. I feel the horns start more road rage. Before, with a stock horn I just honked and that was it. Now I get people waving their hands, flipping me off, and break checking me. I just lay on the horn even more then.
Oh yeah, and it looks cool.

Ah. Yeah, figured it'd be on the louder side. Oh well, will likely just stick with oem.

Well my quoting is apparently broken now, but this makes me want to get hella horns. Was kinda thinking about it before but never pulled the trigger on it.

They can just hear you now! Before Hellas, that little toot toot from the OEM horns went completely unnoticed.

LPT: I found that driving with the boomerangs or headlights on significantly reduced the amount of time I got cut off and therefore reduced the amount of times I had to actually use the horn.

Got an alignment. As it turns out, positive camber and opposite toe values make for a weird ride!

How in the world did you have positive camber? There's not enough adjustment on stock suspension to get that without hitting something and bending it. Are you lowered?

Actually, some of our cars do have slightly positive camber in the front at stock height.


As there is no way to adjust camber from the factory, I got rid of mine after lowering the car and installing camber bolts.
I still have the "before alignment" sheet somewhere, was around +0°10' on both sides, i.e. some +0,16°.

Now sitting at a healthy -1°15', or -1,25°.

I replaced some USDM parts with JDM parts, added the rear diffuser, and repositioned the stock exhaust tips farther out.
