sounds pretty cool. I though of buying one and them mounting it under the bonnet so i could see it when tuning. I would be interested in seeing that article if you remember where it was. thanks :)

sounds pretty good. Maybe I'll have a go and see if I can mount the display in one of the block off plates. :) Thanks for the plans.

I used a s/hand sensor fron the scrap yard. Black wire is the signal, the grey is earth and the white wires are for the heating element (used to bring the sensor up to temp quicker).
The first one I made I used a 4 wire sensor and didn't connect the heater, worked fine.

Don't need to drill the manifold, find a nut the same thread and drill a hole in the front pipe at a convienient place (as close to the manifold as you can) and weld the nut on.

ps, I will take a picture of mine and post it in the gallery when I get time.

Come to think of it I have a new ox sensor sitting in my tool chest. Bought it for one of my cars and never installed it. bonus! Now I just need to scrounge the rest of the parts and I am in there.
