In light of my antenna dying today I have conemplating replacing it with a hidden antenna. Does anyone have any knowledge on this subject or have any Pros and Cons on it?

So Nolan, what parts are you looking for, for the EG?

I already have a whole list of things at ICB, that will be mine when I am ready for them. Everytime I help him out there, I find more and more things for me. Unfortunantly....no money.

not avaliable on the EG's. only DC2's... I would love to have that also.

I push mine a bunch... and still have not been able to put more than 10 gallons in (~390 miles).

I need to compare my needle position to a stock cluster... I think when the PO installed the white guage face kitz the fuel guage needle was not installed back right.

With the EX I should have the larger tank....

it would rock to get 400+ miles on a tank.

I was doing some research on this as well.

I know, don't want to search there either... but if you look up recent S2K threads... there should be some posts by me inquiring about the hidden one. I think they are only like $30 too... I was going to put mine in the A-pillar.

Really? None of the EG's had that? I figured it was just my econo DX model... LOL

nope... my EX (loaded except for ABS) does not have it.
wonder if yack could wire me up something.

sorry... I dropped ~$45 on a new OEM unit for my Cibbix.

I've had good luck with this one type. I'm not sure of the name of it, but it's a little rectangular box with two flat wings coming out either side that sticks to the glass. I'd put it at the top of the hatch glass. It's 12v boosted and works better than the stock or s2k ones. You can get them online or at autozone/advance. About $8 I think.

Hopefully I will be around that weekend. Work might take me away.

No baller here...Little Nolan owes me some money. So to clear out his debt, he is supposedly going to send me the ITR motor out of his GSR. I will slowly collect up the parts and then turn my EG into the track car.

Yea, I heard he was gonna do that.

Obviously the physical cluster isn't the deal, but the sensor to the dizzy and all that?

It plugs right in and works.

x2

Now the obvious question...

How hard is it to find an Si cluster? LOL

tee hee... What the others said.
I helped out with the corner weight and the alignment.

e-bay coil overs = FTW

My brother is a mechanical engineer, very book smart, but takes his cars to the stealership to have 30k services done for a 1000 bucks.

Hell, I'll do the work if Jack wants to hang out I'll bring all the beer!

BL does NOT equal beer... that's cold piss water...

Willard wrote:Walka... check with Zig. <////>~

I think he mentioned that he had is car corner weighted and aligned at a chain tire place (near NOVA) that catered more to high end cars with some racing cars toss in there.

Yea I asked Ed, he said the guy that did his no longer works there and he cant really recommend anyone.

An EX cluster would be easier to find, but then again they are the same. Except for an EX might be an Auto, which will also work.

Do what I did....drive with a gas can

I do NOT want an Auto cluster... that is if the EG's had it like the Accords and showed the gear...

Just a manual EG cluster with a tach is what I'm looking for. Si, EX or whatever model doesn't matter to me.

I'll bring whatever he likeys.

LOL...

Calculate what it is now, with $2.50/gal from me to there... I'm trying to figure out how to pull this off.

Also, who's gonna lend me their car for a session?

You're in luck, I happen to be an antenna designer. First, ignore the midget. He don't noe squat. You an't put onre in a pillar, LOLz! Hidden= in glass. If it's a DD and you might have future use for GPS, I'd go with a roof mount "puck." Most of these are multi-band and handle cellular, GPS, sat. radio and FM. What do you want to use it for and how close are you to local FM stations? I screwed in a Perrin stubby in place of my stock Evo ant. and was very pleased with the range. In the same hole as stocker, I'd say go with the S-2K stubby. If you're in the sticks, a 31" (1/4 lambda) FM tuned. Do a search, I think I went over this with ludite Bbasso last winter.

Why sech a grate hulking macho-fireman drinks pooosie beer is beyond me.

The autos do show the gear selector, which looks like crap. If you don't mind converting Km's, an SIR cluster is a nice alternative or if you don't like the white, they had a VTi cluster that has black guages but they are harder to find and usually more expensive. The problem with a lot of EG clusters now is they have high milage and some of them start to act up and eventually take a shit.
