89 jap import s5 with horn noise coming from engine when driving hard in 1st, 2nd
It happens on 80-100% throttle when im giving 1st and 2nd gears some stick, and sometimes in 3rd. just wondering what it is. at first i thought it was a loose connection on my horn but it never happens over bumps just when driving hard, and also its a different pitch than my horn. could it possibly be my wastegate meaning im having boost spikes???
any help would be greately appreciated.

lol no. but i do love that thing. it is almost as if someone is tapping the horn, it only makes the sound for a fraction of a second, and u can feel it through the peddles and gear stick slightly.

Maybe I missed it, maybe not. Auto or stick?
is it a horn sound exactly. Or a whining sound?
Only in 1st and 2nd?
I know your post says gears stick slightly, but I know this can happen on auto's too. Trouble shifting between gears.

Its a manual, and i would say defenatly a horn sound or horn/tick. but its not shifting gears its just when i put my foot down it honks once or twice before it redlines. it happens occasionally in third but more common in 2nd and 1st
