Gauging interest for a group buy on a wideband O2 sensor.
This is an invaluable tool for those of you with any kind of tuning device (unichip, ems, afc-r, anything, basically) that lets you see what effect the changes you are making have on your engine.

Info from site:
The instrument can sample and store the air-fuel-ratio and the other sensor data internally in operation for later analysis on a personal computer. At a sampling rate of 12 samples/second the instrument can store up to 44 minutes worth of data in non-volatile memory. The data can be downloaded to a personal computer using a standard serial port and viewed/analyzed by the included software or any standard spreadsheet program.
The standard LM-1 includes a Bosch wide-band oxygen sensor and cable, cigarette-lighter adapter, serial cable for PC connection, 9V battery, exhaust bung and plug, CD and manual. The LM-1 ships with a Bosch sensor, however, it can also function with other wide-band sensors, including Honda/NTK and VW sensors.
Available accessories include auxiliary input cables, alligator-clip power cable, exhaust clamp, analog output cable, and Aux. input expander. Additional accessories include a dash-mountable display and AC adapter.
The LM-1 sells for $349, including the oxygen sensor (Bosch LSU4.2), 10' sensor cable, 10' power cable, serial PC cable, and software.
Price to UK for one off unit is:
USD 349 for the kit
USD 50 approx for shipping
The UK equivalent is currently about £230 all in.
Bear in mind that we may get stung with vat and import duty, then at worst case it will be an all in cost of £293. Shipping the units separately may help us avoid this.
Due to the strong GBP against the USD this makes for a very attractive price. Also due to the strong GBP, I am not leaving this one up for long.
I believe quantities of 5 and 10 units should obtain us some price breaks for pricing and shipping.
To indicate your interest in the group purchase for the Innovate wideband do the following:
1. reply to this post indicating your interest
2. email me at calum_h@dsl.pipex.com and give me
A. your username
B. your name
C. your email
I will update a list on here with names on a first come first served basis.
Once we have numbers confirmed I will approach the company and confirm pricing. I will then PM each person to ask for confirmation and payment. Then the order will be placed.
I expect the confirmation to order process to take a couple of days only. If it takes longer, your name will be crossed off the list, so make sure you provide an e-mail at which I can get hold of you fairly quickly. I know this sounds harsh, but I'm trying to take advantage of the excellent exchange rate to make this an outstanding deal.
If there are any questions about the unit ask them in this thread, please.
If there is no or little interest by 1700hrs Thursday 29th January then I reserve the right to close this group buy down.
Regards,
Calum
