hahahha

well i guess i got a small leak somewhere...... this morning pressure was pretty low like maybe 20-30psi id guess when i filled it at 120psi. and after i got out of work it only had like 4pounds.... so today i gotta search for the leak and fix it.....
that or i need to wire up another valve on the tank itself so it only sends air thru the lines when i push the button..... which probably would be a better idea to hold the pressure the longest with no risks of leaking....
ill see if i can find the leaky spot in just alittle bit. if i find it i wont hook up the extra solinoid valve. because ive only got 1/2inch valves which is quite a bit of overkill.... but then again i got 6 of them just laying around now....

heres some cleaner pictures... couldnt post them earily cause it took the video to long to upload last night.











my cheap air tank i got, i got 1 more to use as well. ill hook it up tonight as well.




and my extremly ghetto switch.LOL
i just zip tied and put some electrical tape over it all to make it feel smoother. actualy a pretty good place since my hand it always on the shifter so i just move my hand back on the ebrake handle and push the button.





and this is how i currently fill the system at home




and like i said before the zip ties are mainly there for peace of mind at least on the top they are, the lower two are needed, had to split some hose and put over the horn to keep it from rattling on the radiator support.

and before any one says its a bad spot yes it probably isnt the best place for it BUT after driving the car for 20mins i opened the hood and felt the horns all over and they where suprisingly still pretty cool, my strut bar and valve cover is ahell of alot hotter then the horns! so id guess they are spaced out enough from the exaust manifold. so thats good for me...

I see, so you kept your stock horn too. I was about to say, what if your air horns run out of air!? lol I would have totally forgotten about that.

Looking nice!

ya i kept the stock horn on it... i thought about it BUT i dont want to blast the big horn all the time... still want the pathetic honda horn to politly let the guy infront of me know the light is green but if someone cuts me off tho THEY WILL GET THE BLAST! it wont be a full tank of air blast on them but enough to let them know im there and dont like what they just TRIED or DID DO...


and if you dont have AC you can put them on any 92-00 civic BUT if ya got AC theres no space... cause i did think about puting it on my 99 BUT no way they would fit.LOL

you should just move the valve to the tank anyways, the only negative is it'll delay the air getting to the horns by a fraction of a second, but it'll avoid any leakage problems.

ya well im trying to avoid any delay.... if i want to get someones attention i want it to be done FAST! i just put the 2nd tank in the trunk and I THINK i fixed the leaks, i had two leaky joints. guess ill find out tomorow if i actualy got the leaks all fixed or not, tho i used some smaller lines going from tank to tank so that might not be the best.....
but for now it will work. this weeks checks goes to cable bill and afew more bills so not much left for spending......

for now it works pretty good. i might look into geting a single larger tank with larger ports later on. but for now this is what i got. still considering geting a compressor for them in the car but not sure yet...
