Ysc3 Twincharged September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 Mine does have the horn sound when I lock & unlock my Ts. It comes stock with it when I collect my Ts frm M.I my signal lights will just blink one or twice ... no sound at all. since no alarm, maybe can consider to change to those "wheels" brand aftermarket alarm. used to listening to sound when the car is locked or unlocked.

Pms 3rd Gear September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 (edited) Im with you on this bro! Scooby arent any different from other japs car.

I know there are others that charge around $800+. "Timing belt change" is just a convenient name. Other than the few belts, it also includes changing the water pump, tensioner, and some other peripherals like gaskets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
