How's the reception? Can you still pull in FM 60 miles away?

Remember to post DIY instructions.

that looks pretty cool - probably why they changed the antenna on the 330 cause people didn't like the look of the oldskool 300 antenna

HAHAH sweet... how'd you do it??? FInally something new i can do to the Rx3. I always loved the S2000 Atenna... so short and stubby...

Give us a DIY!!!

you will need to remove the stock antenna mast and motor. to do this you need to remove the lowest panel inside the vehicle (the piece that has the compartment for the first-aid kit). remove the two nuts that hold the motor in place. unplug the antenna. remove the harness for the power. and pull out that black tube that goes to the floor (it's for drainage. it just pulls out). for further info on how to remove the mast, look up the instructions;

first of all, you will need an antenna base that will fit well into the stock spot. i found that an antenna base for "1984 and up Corolla F/R, Tredia, Vista; fiber classics by Harada (FMF-21T)" fits well. You do need to use a tap set to rethread in order for the S2000 antenna to be able to screw into it. Here is a picture of the antenna that I got at a local car-stereo store:

here is the mast which you will not need. you can just use it to whip people silly

this will plug directly into the existing connection, once you remove the stock antenna and motor.

here are all the pieces that came with the antenna. you won't need all of them. see next post for the pieces you need to keep.

pieces you need for this project.

you need to put the pieces together in this manner to get the best fit.
