 Recommend a Wideband!
Hey guys, Now that I'm getting my E30 back together, I'm in the market for a wideband. Has anyone had good experiences with any gauge/sensor in particular? I'm using a whodwho MS setup. The simpler the installation, the better

 Re: Recommend a Wideband!
Innovative LC-1 or even the older LM-1 work.great. I got my LC-1 with the innovative gauge for $100 off the forums.

 Re: Recommend a Wideband!
MS units come precalibrated for the LC1/LM1. I've never had an issue with mine. I'd go with that.

 Re: Recommend a Wideband!
Sounds good, I've seen the LC-1 mentioned quite a bit, but it doesn't seem to be in too high of regard in other communities. It looks like it's my best bet, though!

 Re: Recommend a Wideband!
I'm using the lc-1 as well, make sure you ground it well. Seems to be the only problem I've seen.

 Re: Recommend a Wideband!
Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try to get my hands on the one with the simple digital display by the end of the month.

 Re: Recommend a Wideband!
Well, considering my car is running and my whodwho megasquirt is almost back from the man himself after some repairs, any recommendations on where to pick one of these up for a good price? The standard price seems about $200 for an LC-1 w/ simple display. Is that typical, or is there a secret I don't know?

I got one with a gauge for $100 on the forum. Throw up a WTB ad on r3v, won't take long to get one.

Well darn...I found them for sale on Fleabay by a company located in Orlando (about 100 miles for me) for $160 shipped. I just offered $150 even. We'll see what happens.
