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.
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
where about did you mount yours?Quote:

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 useQuote:

or you can just get an s2k antenna does the same. Had this on before as well but didnt like it.
where abouts can i get an s2k one?
would you need any additional cables/adaptors to replace the one in a dc2, dougie??Quote:

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
Looks out of place and awkward in this position I believe

unless its like euro cars in the centre of roof then its nicer
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?
They're generic. Just look at the HondaTech thread I posted earlier.
DTN posted it on first page,I bought it too
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.
Nah I haven't used one yet. Been paying attention is all, because I want to do something about my brothers dc4.
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 :SQuote:

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....
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.
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 :)
I ordered the internal one,will report back with results
Lo custom will take a few weeks to ship but worth it if you need a cheap replacement antenna. Good reception too!
