Antenna and odd exhaust smell
I've been helping a friend with his FD. We are doing a full rats nest, rebuilt harness, gauges and basic clean up. Last night we ran across a few things i'm not sure about. First off we pulled the stereo to help with a Defi Din install and found this. I'm not sure how to fix the antenna.

For reference this is how they had the stereo antenna hooked up



They then grounded it here

Onto the exhaust smell. Once the car gets up to operating temp there is a "burnt popcorn" smell coming from the back of the car. I was hopping we could pull the cat and find something in there but couldn't find anything definitive. The only other thing i can think of is the copious amounts of gasket sealer on the exhaust gasket from DP to cat?


Any ideas would help greatly. Thanks

I put the little box behind the head liner and it works like a champ. Better than the OEM one.

Found this Thank you radio shack

If it doesn't work hondasr4kids idea will be back up. I'm just hoping all the cleaning will get ride of the burnt smell.
