Finaly got my Lc-1 Wideband back (first unit defective)I've bein driving aroung with an Lm-1 unit between the seat and a crap load of wires runing through the car.

It's an 88 5speed "non turbo" already plated and runs, but they've painted the trim and shaved the trunk badges (two of the mazda MX6's more distinctive features), I've swapped the door skins, cleaned and covered the seats (with 10$ seat covers) they require some modifications, and I hate sowing.
