Rear o2 install + PICS

Well first I would like to thank scottsee for him making a sweet how to, on rear o2 and hooking me up with the link...Aside from all the spelling errors and other english related screw ups its pretty damn helpful (haha can't give you props without cutting you down a peg at the same time)
here is the link http://scottjsee.googlepages.com/plx-m300
Since I don't have LINK I had to also eliminate my O2 from the ECU or else I would get a CEL here is the link http://www.vfaq.com/mods/O2bypass.html

Also the STEPS are not the way to do it if you're doing this install follow the link not my steps I am skipping stuff (like unplug battery) only pictures worthy of picking were takin.

Ok now to the good stuff... PICS
Step one take out front seat

as you can see I had an assortment of trinkets, french fries and yup even a couple bucks worth of change (don't get too excited thats in canadian dollars)
Step 2 pull back carpet

your right that doesn't look like the carpet is pulled back.. Thats cause I stopped in amazement when I pulled it back a little bit only to find a perfectly intact cigarette pack wrapper neatly installed. Probably installed right there on the assembly line. I can just see the bastard with a cigarette in his lips intalling my carpet thinking no one will ever find this.
Step 3 Locate o2 wire

Step 6 make your circuit that looks like this but with better soldering and then attach it to the old o2 sensor wires. *Caution this is no joke the resistor for the heater element MUST be at least 12 watts and keep it the fuck away from anything that catches on fire..

Step 7 Run wires under carpet and up behind everything to your sexy |A-Pillar gauge where you mount your sweet new gauge...But which faceplate (lifes soo hard sometimes)

Step 9 turn on this metal thing (|I don't know what it does but the car moves faster with it on) http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j294/steviekallday/2007_0103Image0007.jpg
Step 10 ||(very important) get a sexy pic of your new gauges working with no CEL)

Nice write up. I actually enjoyed it a little. You're a funny man. When I did my rear O2, I didn't take out the seat, so it made it a lot harder. Actually extended the cut of the carpet about an inch to get to the connector. I used my bro's little hands to get to it and take it out. So, my contribution, is you don't need to take out the seat fully.

Shit the seats were the easiest part... or at least maybe it just seemed like that cause I was least pissed off at that point. hmm?

Hehe what's up with that exhaust?

ohh don't worry I know it looks small and old but I poked a bunch of holes in it with a screwdriver so it flows better. Nah I'm replacing exhaust this summer.

Hahaha.

That is awesome.

Your interior is/was really dirty, you should clean it more often...:thumbsup:

Cool stuff... I'm just to lazy to bother fixing my "spelling errors and other english related screw ups". I'm going to steal your pictures though.

Your interior is/was really dirty, you should clean it more often... Was :) |I do clean it just not under the seat. I figured i shaved a good pound off claning that interior. My car is prolly in the 11's now jk.
