Hey Nice Ride! I noticed that you have a wideband o2 setup in your car. I'm with PLX Devices and we're looking for nice cars to sponsor with our new gauges. We have some new 52mm and 60mm programmable gauges. Check them out on our website (www.plxdevices.com) if you're not familiar with our new offerings. If you're interested please email me at paul@plxdevices.com
