When I got my ITR a few months back the antenna mast was non-existent (carwash?). Anyway, I figure it's time to replace it and start rocking out to the radio (yeah right). Acura wants $52 for a telescoping piece of metal. Has anyone found a cheap place to get these things. I see them on ebay but I don't know about compatibility. Thanks guys.

 

The S2000 conversion is cheaper than that and looks better IMO. If you are interested in that, do a search for "S2000 antenna" and read up on it. There was someone on the board that made the kit(forget who it was ), but dont think they make it anymore.

EDIT: Many thanks to Trey and RStor

I designed it and RStoR was making and selling it.

I did write this. http://www.bseries.net/html/garage/s2kantenna.php

 

asahi and rstor

great kit, great looks...too bad reception suffers...but no mattah!

 

I have my stock antenna for sale from my GSR. I'm sure it's the same motor and unit. PM me if you want that. Otherwise the S2000 kit is nice.

 

yea i wouldnt mind doing the s2000 antenna conversion, but i was told the radio reception isnt all that great. any suggestions to make the reception better??

a buddy of mine did the s2000 antenna on his 02 celica gts and the reception sucks.

Celica maintains the stock booster so there shoudl be absolutley no signal loss.

On our cars I just wired in some home stereo antennas to the underside and rran them aroud the inside of the panel. And good as stock . . .

 

Trey- still owe you some Think I'm up to around 230 kits sold now!

 

Yeah I've had the S2K kit on the car from Rstor for a while I don't lose much in a big city, but as soon as I get to the outskirts...bam, it sucks. But I listen to more CD's anyway.

Any other clues as to improving recpeting with the S2K antenna?

230 are you serious?!

The way to improve reception to stock quality it so add wire to the under side of the kit hardware. It will boost reception greatly. I have been saying this for 2 yerars. Do i have to take a picture?

Yes, please do. I've had the home stereo antenna for a couple years now and I actually tried installing it but it did not improve reception. I'm probably doing it wrong so pictures would be nice.

yes, please.

also, would adding some sort of powered inline signal booster help, or is the signal too low to help?

Adding a powered booster I have found just boosts the static.

 

you could get the whole s2k antennae. i'm using Rstor kit but i think i'm gonna buy the real thing later. reception kinda fuzzy

YOu won't get it to fit, I started with the whole thing and worked my way down to this. Plus the whole piece is almost $100. This is about $30.

 

C'mon guys, the guy asked for a cheap replacement. I got plenty in stock and ready to ship.

Plus, the S2000 antenna is for stunnaz, like Mr.Commander.

LMAO Len

I just sold the original guy my antenna. So that is done with.

I also just did the s2000 conversion and have not had any problems with reception. just fiddle with the angle of the antenna and the mounting stuff below it. I get perfect reception.
