I did these two mods on saturday afternoon, i love the S200 antenna, small slick looking and rubbery.

Removing the rear wiper was a piece of cake too, and the rear hatch looks a lot cleaner.

The car is now back on the road and ready to roll.

 

pics?

 

Where did you get the items to do the rear wiper mod? Also, how much did it cost you.


98 Integra
92 Civic
90 CRX

 

No rear wiper =

 

As far as doing the wiper mod, it was basically free. I removed the rear wiper myself, while having a buddy who did the mod before coach me on the procedure and the process.

Actually it did have a small cost, at my friends expense though, we plugged up the hole with a small plug from the plumbing dept. of Home Depot and it looks real neat. He bought a rubber plug that came in a set of three for a few dollars...so I got one of the plugs for free.

On the other hand if you are real **** you can buy the OEM honda kit to plug it up, but when I checked pricing from A&H I was like ...nahhh I'll do it the cheap way and save some money.

 

where did you get the hardware for the antenna conversion? i have been looking all over for the coupling, etc. All I have is the antenna.

 

How much is that plug from acura anyways??

 

Contact Chris Blake, user name Rstor

I got my kit thru him.

 

you'd probably spend close to $30 for all the parts.

 

what kinda parts do you need to convert to s2000 one??..curious

 

From Trey's site: The antenna conversion.

Mike K can get for you for like 20 bucks.

but i went cheap and got the Home Depot one for like 1.39 + tax. got a few extras if Houston members wants them

ill take pics if anyone wants to see how the end result is

 

the bseries kit sucks ***, i had to buy all new hardware to make it work. the bolt that attaches to the antenna is english, and the s2k antenna is metric

 

how much did the antena cost?

 

The antenna costs $18 from A&H motorsport.

 

my s2k antenna, cause mine broke and wouldn't go down

Yea, the 5mm coupler is impossible to find. The Bseries instructions say to use a #10 and to tap the hole to 5mm, but even finding a #10 coupler is impossible. I got a 1/4 inch one and got the antenna to go in there but it loosens every once in a while. I got a 5mm nut and i will superglue it to the coupler to "engineer" a 5mm/ 1/4" coupler. Considering the amount of strain placed on the antenna it should hold fine with some duct tape reinforcement wrapping.

 

I just pulled the plug on my antenna so it wouldn't go up. The radio stations suck *** and rap sux w/o the foul language. Mmmmm XM sounds good anyways.

No I'm not the #1 STUNNA

 

i looked on their site and its not listed on their catalogue. You have a part number? is that real oem s2k antenna?

 

How can you not like the rear wiper? I think the rear wiper is awesome. Doesn't look any different with it off so why bother?

 

doesn't make a HUGE difference but i like the sleek look. i never use it anyway.

 

by removing that wiper it adds 5hp to the wheel...hehe jk. But anyways i cant find that antenna?

 

Dude, just go to any Honda dealership. You might have to order them, but it'll cost you around 22~24 bucks. All the s2k antenna conversions consists of the real oem s2k antenna. (Never heard of s2k antenna rip-offs )

I don't think its ricy at all, I did the conversion because the stock antenna was annoying as hell.

If you're interested in the conversion, get a s2k antenna from a honda dealership, and order a kit from either Michael or Christopher Blake. The kit should cost around 11~15 bucks. So you're looking at about 35 bucks or so total.

In northern Ohio, removing ANY wipers =

At least, if it's your daily driver. You SoCal lifers have no concept of "weather."
