Antenna replacement?

[reydio]

Did it improve reception?

I was considering a 4' long FireStik, just for the fact I'd also get pretty good CB reception and are planning on adding a CB radio soon as well. But it looks kinda 'lol'. I don't want to lose reception, I definitely want the ability to lock into more HD stations... that's why I replaced the awesome factory HU with my JVC KD-HDR50. D:

Receptions is awesome, I am currently using it with HD stations. I like it for the fact that it properly seals the hole with no modification. I noticed they have a new model that is twice the amount, the Fuba Betaflex-D, with a little longer and skinny stem 18" versus 7".

looks like an 87/88 so it probably has the 1 piece spoiler

so what do you think would be my best route of fixing this.....sorry for the thread jack

replace the mast. you can even get just the mast on ebay for a pittance or from toyota for a little more.

haha i missed that, well anyone here has replaced the stock antenna with something short and different on a 89 + with 3 piece spoiler ?

What site did you get the Betaflex off of?

 

[supraman7mgte]

Do any other Toyota cars share the same power antenna as the Supra?

Dose a "88" antenna retract further in the body than a 89 antenna with a spoiler?

 

[Jeff Lange]

Yes.

Personally, I think the S2000 antenna on ours cars looks cheesy. Too tall and/or big but it just doesn't look right. My opinion.

What I would love to see is an antenna like BorHor had on his car:

Something small and sleek like the Onstar antenna on GM vehicles or the antennas on VW's.

i used a cressida antena but have to leave it extended. it dosent go in and out of the 89+ spoiler but bolted up and pluged in like stock. 10 bucks at junkyard

 

[Koenigturbo]

Yes.

Thanks , Jeff, I guess I need to look for a "88" antenna then.

 

[Jeff Lange]

Or an 89+ N/A one.

Last I knew they didn't still have the NA/pre-89 style anymore. Could be wrong but I know several locals got new antennas and they were all the extended type for the 3 piece wing.

 

[Jeff Lange]

Both styles are still available.

Weird, that was a few years ago too.

I got my Pre89 Antenna brand new. Its just a rod some camry's use the same one. Easy to install too took me 10min.

If you have a working factory antenna, then order a replacement mast from Toyota. There should be no other option.

The mast isnt that much and is easy to replace.

I removed my Antennae, Wiring, the plastic pieces that retain it And Filled the hole and painted it to prevent Slight leaks. But then again I had a stereo/speaker/rear setup removal done so It was only one of a series of removals that I was performing for race conversion. Plus I always thought the stock made my Sup look like It was an actual Sized RC car. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents as a possibilty if you were ever going to do a rear setup removal or Auto X. :biglaugh:
