What is the easiest place to run the wire to the 02 sensor from. I cant seem to find any holes in the passenger side fire wall becuase of all the **** in the way. Is there a easy place to get to om the drivers side?

the o2 wire goes into the ecu, it would be easier to get it there

most guages come with their own senders

yeah, you might want to consider getting the FC3S oil pedestal or RB oil adapter plate which have holes tapped for new senders. The AF guage just has a wire that you tap into the ECU location or the O2 sensor wire which runs under the upper intake manifold to the sensor itself.

run what you want where the wires come in the firewall on the passenger side.



Look under the sub zero bottle and you will see the wires go thru a black boot into the car, take something like a screwdriver and push the boot down and you will expose PLENTY of extra room where you can run what you want into

the car. If you have a flashlight/droplight position it on the passenger side floor shining towards the firewall so when you push the boot to the side you will see the light coming thru.



Now you can either protect the wires with some tape or a piece of vacuum hose that go thru that hole, or you can get really crafty and cut a small section out of that rubber boot and run your stuff thru there. I seem to remember having to take the glove box out to find where they came thru into the car, but I cant be positive about that.



I even ran the wires for my amp for my subwoofer in the same spot on my Lexus, beats drilling a hole and using a grommet.

I seem to remember there being a issue with those FC3s pedestals, someone on this board installed it and had some issues with it.



The MazdaTrix one is perfect and painfree to install. Although a stubby 10mm GearWrench comes in handy.

There is no need for a gear wrench. Those are for the efficient. There also isn't really a need for an A/F gauge in an NA.
