Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior s2000 antanna

When you install a new s2000 antanna will there be any difference in how good of a reception that you would get from the stock antanna?

so far i havent heard a difference...when i did finally notice one i looked in my rear view and the antenna was gone

no difference... I still get radio from Mexico while in Los Angeles and I still get SantaMonica College radio while in San Diego... and I always get stations while on my way to Las Vegas

I think that imma bout to get an S2000 antanna too!

how hard is it to install it

extremely simple, just unscrew the stock and screw on the stubby. mabye put some loctite on threads to prevent theft.

just got back from ordering my new Honda s2000 antanna for my Celica. total cost was $21.10 plus tax, not that much, i think its a good buy

u ordered it, they didnt just give it too you?

Some Honda dealers don't have S2000 parts in stock if there aren't many in the area.

^^^ oh

yea, where i live only 1 person in the city owns a s2000 and there is only one for sale. i went to the biggest Honda dealer in town and they said that I was the first person to ask about a s2000 part

geezzzz, at our honda dealer there is like 6 s2000's sitting in front

here is the install guide (if you need it--its almost too simple): s2000 antenna install guide

credit isaac for the post.

what is the s2000 antenna made out of (rubber?)

what if i have a power antenna? Is it possible to take off the stock one?

it was hard for me to replace the stock one but i got it on now.
when i park at the mall, i get a little worried about someone taking it though.

its possible...but you have to replace the base too and that's a lot more difficult. you have to switch from a GTS power antenna base (and antenna) to a non power base. Its not worth it IMO.

it's really not worth it. plus the only real reason ppl get s2000 antennas is to get the shortest antenna possible (the less antenna the better) and with the power antenna you are already doing better than the s2000.

unless you are a devoted listener of radio and are concerned about how your antenna looks...imo its definately better to keep your power antenna.

loc-tight

well, thanks to the holidays and such i will have to wait till next friday to get it in from the dealer sense they only order parts to have them delivered with their weekly shipment of parts and such, but sense they dont carry or have or have even sold a honda s2000 or a part to a s2000 till i came along it will take a little while to get in. and i will be using loc-tight though (dont want anyone to be stealing it). if i can get my digital camera to start working right i will post pics of my car with and without the antenna when i get it in.

The worst experience of someone atempting to take my antenne was at the car wash, i was watching him the whole way through he tried as hard as he could to unscrew it (loc tight baby) and finally gave up when i caught him trying to take it...Bitch never went there again!! (by the way it was a waterway gas/wash with all teenagers working there)

i got my s2000 antenna in today,it didnt even take 5 mins to install. it has to be the easiest and cheapest mod that you can do to your celica

did you put loc-tite on it? some ppl have said those antennas are hot items to be stolen.

There's a lot of where I live and almost NO ONE does there own shit. Which is really pathetic. So in my area people don't even know how to remove antenas I'd bet. Plus people basically leave my shit alone, except for someone who keyed my celi while I was parked at work. Might have been an accident from some beach chairs (I work at a beach side restaurant) but it still pissed me off . I don't like people messing with my car, or anyone elses for that matter. To quote Pulp Fiction, you don't fuck with another man's automobile, you just don't do it.

where can you find that adhesive(loctite)?

your could prob get it at any auto parts school

next time use lock tite

The only difference I heard was a freak pirate radio station that I picked up at work when I had the stock antenna and no else in their cars could. Anyway, after installing the S2000 I could no longer get that station and a little trouble with out of state stations that didn't have huge power or antennas. No big deal for me.
