CPL = stay the **** away.

How much was the steering wheel refurb?

~£120 inc delivery back.

Their first Honda wheel, with them usually going BMW and other marques.

Can't wait to get it in, but will wait until I've had the interior apart to do the audio install.
 
Steering wheel looks great, they've done a nice job on that.

As for e-tuning, well I don't think I can fully express what a thoroughly retarded concept it is. How anyone can believe it's as good as putting a car on a dyno with an experience operator is laughable.

Did you ask them about looking at the centre of the wheel too?

Does it look as 'old' as it does in the photo?

Nope.

The centre part is one solid piece containing the airbag, so it's not leather than can just be whipped off and re-trimmed. Seems to be Vinyl of some kind.

The one in the picture is my spare one, with the better one in the car atm. It's not perfect, but nothing can be done about it, although I wheel give the centre bit a damn good scrub and get the shine out of it.
 
My Lamda sensor needs replacing, Denso official Honda one is £250, or I can get an NGK one for £84, is there really any difference? Generally I stay OEM with some things but it's not like NGK are a poor make.

Rockauto.

We've done 3 group buys on the DC2 forum. Came out to under 50 each delivered for a Denso.
 
Thanks a lot. Do they fail commonly in DC's as well? I read it's common in a lot of modern K20 variants. Can't actually find specific sensor for K20Z4

^^They have limited life span, mine was a shot so I got a new one. They have to have a winder band than most cars, or something.

 
Don't get how one can be £65 and FN2 one is £240! Got NTK/NGK in the end from place we use at work as we get trade price.

Easy, the K20 is a wideband oxygen sensor, the B18 a narrowband.

Ah ok, that now makes me think I have the wrong sensor because mine starts with an O which according to NTK means Oxygen sensor, and some start with an L for Linear (Wideband). Or am I being a dipstick and that doesn't mean what I think.
 
Thats sounds logical.

The wideband on mine is called a LAF on Honda EPC. Lean Air Fuel Sensor.

4 wires will tend to suggest Narrow where you just get the voltage swing either side of stoich and 5 wires for a Wideband that gives actual air fuel ratio sample rate.
 
Well the OEM (Denso) one is 4 plug so god knows. Only one way to find out.

Although my one has 4 pins not 4 holes so god knows. If I had my own ramp it would be easier. That said, above may be a denso library image.

Edit: Just learned that OEM is not a true WB sensor, it's semi wideband.
