YIke. Glad you had simple solution.
Do you know how much that ARC Ti knob weighs?

I can weigh it on Tuesday when I got back to work & have access to a scale. Will report back then

The reason I ask is this: it is a gorgeous shift knob. I have owned a Ti Knob and I now have a stainless Knob. My stainless knob is smallish, (which I like), AND it is very heavy, (which I also like). My Ti knob was not nearly as heavy, If that Arc knob is in the 500 gram range I might spring for one.

The ARC shift knob was the only part I was able to bring from the Civic to the S2K. The OEM S2K shift knob went with the Civic which ironically is very similar to the OEM Civic Si shift knob. I will say that the ARC ti shift knob feels significantly lighter then the OEM S2K shift knob. I prefer a lighter shift knob because I can shift pretty aggressively so the extra weight is not needed.

Need to get the ARC shift knob reburnt to match

Just a slight difference

OEM floppy

So much better

No I do not listen to the regular radio often & since I have an aftermarket radio with all the modern amenities I just use Bluetooth.

^^ I had the stubby antenna for a while but went back to OEM. I can't explain why but I think the OEM one just looks 'right'... The stubby one for whatever reason just looked too "Autozone" to me.

Took a long drive with my wife and ended up caught in a heavy rain. Oh well. It won't melt.

I think the OEM looks fine. A lot of people do I guess, since they were highly stolen at one point :P I know lots of people were selling S2k antennas years ago for use on other cars, and I assume since they were selling them for $9 they were likely stolen off of S2k's

Well I WILL be working on my S2k after work today. About 5 or so laps into the last Track Night in America event the oil cooler coolant line (small molded 180 degree one) gave up on me. Saw the temp rise above 3 bars and smelled coolant, shut it down and found it was blowing out of that line. So while out of town on vacation last week I ordered and received all new coolant lines/radiator hoses and will be doing that this evening.

Was a fun night with tow trucks too that night .
Line broke. I was 46 miles from home and called Hagerty since I have the 60 mile tow package on my insurance/roadside assistance through them. So at least the tow was free
An hour later the truck shows up, gets me on the flatbed and was able to let me ride with him home
Got all the way home..... and the hydraulic pump on the truck died so my car was stuck on the flat bed ... yay
Driver had to call another local tow company to bring a second flatbed to roll my car onto off of his, then let it down on the ground.
In the meantime, we had ordered pizza for dinner, so I sat outside sharing pizza and gatorade (he was working so no beer lol) with the tow truck driver till the other one arrived!

For me it's both aesthetics & convenience, I wish the car didn't have an antenna mounted anywhere on the car like my old Civic. The convenience part is I cover my car at home as you can see in the background of the pics & everytime I take the car out the OEM antenna had to be put back on the car & then removed when I park it for the night. With the stubby antenna I no longer have to do that, uncover the car & drive off.
