ariel on the rear left panel on gc8

[Pappu1]

does v2 have the ariel on the rear left panel by the boot?

i lmpw v4/5/6 gc8 have them as have had all 3 models and they had it

from what i believe v2/3 have it on the front driver a pillar thing

\

anyway, can anyone confirm??

[nztintin]

my v2 ra had one on the drivers pillar

[Pappu1]

yep - thats what i thought even the wrx and sti v2+v3 had - on the front pillar

but wanting to know if any v2 came with ariel on rear left panel near boot (as i believe they only started that in the v4+ era)

V3 non-RA has it on the LR guard. Pretty sure a fair few earlier ones do. the GF8 antenna moved from the guard to the roof in V3-on

does v2 have it?

on lr guard?

my 1995 gravex has it, and pretty sure all n/a wagons had them. I've been looking for one to replace my broken one..

Edit.. mine is wagon, not sedan

V3-onwards 2L (and likely other) wagons do not have a guard antenna, they have a roof mounted flexible whip antenna.

What by sedans? Gc8 model v2

[newsuba]

Yes.

From the STI v2 brochure

[ODB]

Yes.

My v2 sedan had it there.

[Pappu1]

So v2 sedan Wrx and Sti both had that option ay?

In pic only looks like v2 sti

The LH pic is a V2 STi. The RH pic is a V2 STi RA. The WRX RA and STi RA both have pull-up pillar-mounted antennas.

So the standard Wrx didn't get the Ariel in the rear left panel??

EDIT: Nope.

upto V1 ALL wagons receive auto-retracting antennas mounted in the LR guard. After this they receive whip antennas.

upto V2 ALL 2.0 Sedans EXCEPT WRX, WRX-RA and STi-RA receive auto-retracting antennas mounted in the LR guard.

upto V2 Many 1.5,1.6 and 1.8 sedans and wagons receive pull-up pillar antennas.

V3-on ALL sedans EXCEPT WRX-RA and STi-RA recieve auto-retracting antennas mounted in the LR guard.

V3-on ALL wagons receive a roof-mounted whip antenna

*all information here is drawn from this thread and personal experience

EDIT: Trawled trademe and it turns out that the v2 WRX is weird and doesn't have it. Bizarre.

[newsuba]

;D

Don't have a pic of a v2 WRX so can neither confirm or deny...

[Pappu1]

from what i see - v2 wrx does not get it

sti it seems does

wierd ???

[Firenza]

I know in the sedans that my mates V2 WRX has the powered aerial in the rear quarter, same as my V3

[newsuba]

Looking through my NZ new brochures, TM pix etc for WRX v4-6, none of the sedans got a power aerial.

And more often than not, neither did 98-00 NZ new WRX wagons.

My V2 STI had it on the back left. GC8C

Didn't realise you were looking only at nz-new pics on tm. I didn't deduce that from the post.

[Pappu1]

so ...is it that the jdm v2-6 got the ariels???

and the nz new were hit and miss?

my v6 was a nz new and had ariel tho...

edit - i still doubt v3 having it lol..
