i am going to treat myself and the G to a wide band lambda sensor system.
i am tempted on going for the stack version (http://www.gprdirect.com/OnlineShop/Product.do?c=199&g=649)
anyone know if these are any good or is there another brand i should consider?
I'm not really up to speed on wideband sensors, but I do know that Stack instruments are among the best you can buy.
I'd assume its performance and accuracy would be excellent, it looks to be a decent and comprehensive kit.

I agree with Lance, Innovate LC1's seem to be the choice of many out there at the moment..
They might be the choice of many, but they can be a real pain in the arse. Mine frequently looses its calibration, and looking online, it seems I'm not the only one.
your LC-1? What would you recommend then Anthony? I'm looking to get one in the near future (as you know :) ).
I like the unit yoof has though with his LC-1 which can monitor things like EGT...
Mines Zeitronix- from the States, cost me about £350 all in, EGT, Boost, Narrowband output, TPS, 0-5v spare, and AFR & Lambda readout, down to about 8:1 :)
Expensive, but good.
ah man I knew that, why did I think yours was an Innovate LC-1?!?

yea i have heard of this,
putting them in the wrong angle in the exhaust makes them mess up alot i know.
I can't fault mine, does what i want it to do so no complains from me.
reads down to 0.67 and has a nice row of leads as well as numbers

My probe is fine, and installed correctly. The problem is, whoever designed the electronic hardware either cocked up - or hasn't got a clue about designing electronics for automotive applications. It seems the nasty transient voltage spikes you get whilst cranking send the thing spastic.
I'm planning on re-wiring mine so that it comes on using a separate switch, so I can turn it on after I've started the car. It's either that, or speak to some fucktard American to get it sorted. From what I've read online, newer LC-1s are fine.
