Default new a/f meter installed

got the PLX from RYAN z06 , yesteday, installed it last nite. ran the sensor wire through the floorboard (used a neat milled alum plate to cover the hole) ran the wires under the carpet, under the tunnel cover,and its slick, easy to replace the sensor and looks cool. Velcroed the readout to the glove box door...the thing works great...wheee. Next mod, the harness/camera bar..I am done buying things for the car,at least for a month, maybe till after x-mas,,

oops, this should have been in general,, sorry guys

Yeah, I'm just about done w/ my PLX install as well. I'm also putting in one of the PLX gauges so I don't have to look at the 'black box' all the times. I'll post pics of my whole install when it's done.

What is a PLX and what does it tell you? Is it like a wide band O2 sensor? How much is it??

Thanks guys!

Which side did you put the sensor in? Got any pics of that? Can't wait to get my WB installed this week. LM-1 though.

I have been running my PLX WB O2 for about two months now. Great for tuning all across the board.

I have mine using a standard Air Fuel gauge that I had laying around. It uses an additional converter box to send the wide band info to the narrow band gauge. I also installed the box where I can hid it away under the sun visor.
