Ugly Integra 99 GSI Antenna

[TmrTom]

All you pre DC5 integra owners will know that the integras have an ugly huge antenna.

I was just wondering what you guys did to over come this?

Someone told me to install an internal antenna at the front but i am unsure how to remove the front trim (the part that holds the front window in )

to hide the wiring and i cant install it at the back because of the moving 3rd door boot.

Thanks for all the help!

lol ur cool k.

Install an S2000 antenna. $40.

[dougie_504]

Also the internal antennas can be mounted anywhere, best around a window for reception reasons.

Bit of discussion on it here:

I use an internal antenna, got it off ebay for like $5 or something lol. Reception isnt bad except for 96.1 but i dont listen to radio anyways. I cover the hole with an oem plug fits perfect no leaks

Same issue with dc2 they have a massive antenna too and when it goes up and down it makes a clunking notice, i got s2000 one to install just hav'nt been bothered.

I just hid it inside the rear boot trim, seems to work fine. I think another good place you could stick the amplifier is on the inside (above the passengers head or something) and tuck the wiring in the interior trim. Heres what i use

or you can just get an s2k antenna does the same. Had this on before as well but didnt like it.

[TmrTom]

would you need any additional cables/adaptors to replace the one in a dc2, dougie??

No. I got the exact same one for my DC2R. Plug and play.

Those Shark ones are ugly,plug the hole or shave it and use internal :thumbsup:

[99ITR]

sweeet 41dollars so cheap to fix an annoying clunking sound upon startup/turn off plus it won't look like an RC car no more :D

[EKVTIR-T]

Looks out of place and awkward in this position I believe

unless its like euro cars in the centre of roof then its nicer

[99ITR]

hmm i gotta agree.. its like asking to be snapped off by someone walking by.. any links to plug and play internal antanas for dc2?

[dougie_504]

They're generic. Just look at the HondaTech thread I posted earlier.

[EKVTIR-T]

DTN posted it on first page,I bought it too

[Johnie]

how mine sat, now that i look at it its weird lol

Hey dougie
did you use one?
no problems getting into Australia?
If you did get one hows the reception, i still like radio haha.

[dougie_504]

Nah I haven't used one yet. Been paying attention is all, because I want to do something about my brothers dc4.

[TmrTom]

Yeahh i really want the shark attack as well but unsure if it's safe and will arrive in Australia :P

My first priority is the shark attack as if i get an internal i have to mount it at the front and then i have to drill a hole in my pillar which i don't want to do.

Anyone here got a shark attack safely and in one piece into Australia?

Why are you worried about it arriving to Australia, it will be fine :S

I did the same about a year ago...

Yes i did. Reception is fine, cannot tell a different from OEM. Havent tried AM, but who listens to AM anyways.

[dougie_504]

It's like $40 man, you'll live. Not like they're gonna take your life savings lol

[TmrTom]

haha true, i work in hungry jacks so money aint exactly easy....
and from buying my car my bank is literally depleted so every cent counts....

[dougie_504]

Then I'd wait til you have some money, it's just an aerial bro haha.


On a serious note, find a kitchen hand job. Pays well, often with an evening shift allowance, and you usually get fed too.

[TmrTom]

true xD
Have to wait until i finish year 12 then will look for some dough and then get really serious with my car :D
thanks for the help anyways :)

[EKVTIR-T]

I ordered the internal one,will report back with results

[Pr3Z]

Lo custom will take a few weeks to ship but worth it if you need a cheap replacement antenna. Good reception too!
