ste91 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I haven't posted this in the technical section as I don't think it deserves to go in there. As some of you know I bought a new Starlet a couple of weeks ago, and one of the idiot previous owners has fitted a stupid turbo whistler thing to it, I'm told these usually go in the exhaust but there's nothing there. However the cigarette lighter has been taken out so I'm sort of guessing they have used that as a power source for some stupid electric thing that makes the noise. Anyone got any ideas as I'm hoping to get insured and start driving again some time this week but there's fucking no way on earth I'm driving a car with a fake turbo sound.

ste91 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 That's what I thought, but there's nothing in the exhaust. It's annoying and embarrassing because I'm usually alright with cars but this is a fucking joke. I'd love to meet the twat who fitted it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Pretty sure its a speaker under the bonnet. I'd drive with it just for the shits and gigglesDamien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Well there's an alarm thing under the bonnet but I doubt that's it? Might be worth disconnecting it and trying it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 if its the speaker one there will be a switch on the accelerator cable under the bonnet it will deffo look aftermarket a c2 came in work with one once it sounded shit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
