That thing just needs a TVS

So it was a sad day yesterday. Went to tune my car and my wideband was acting up and not reading right at all. After like 5k the gauge would just spike right lean. It has been acting up on me lately. Sooo I called a million places to find one. The only place that had was piston ring and they wanted $175! One of our salesguys Mitch at work has a buddy that works at Mcnaught. Phoned him up and their cost was $120. Don't even know the guy and he hooked me up! Met up with him after work and he rolled up in an 09 white G8 GT. Lowered with black powdercoated new Camaro SS wheels and Corsa exhaust. Sooooo sexy! So I just finished swapping the O2 sensor out and I'm back in wideband action! Supposed to rain tomorrow so will probably be tuned on Wednesday. Can't wait!

Ya we can. But it's a bit different because it's meant for motorcycle tires and there only one guy here (Mitch in sales) that's good at doing car tires

You don't really have to change the plugs. But the oil should be done after you do it.

how many kms on your stock plugs jordan, I changed mine at 50000. If your around there you might as well. People keep their old shitty plugs and use them to seafoam, then change back to the clean plugs after
