Ok so bit of a noob question never tried to set up one of these before i have google'd it but no to avail trust me. It's a old tomei air/fuel gauge narrow band i believe has grey thick wire then yellow/black and red wire also small black box black . Can i use the stock k11 lamba on the manifold that has 3 wires 2 white 1 black. I have heard you can splice into a green wire (signal) but mine does not have this it has 3 2 white 1 black anyone know the way around this really need help.

Hello all got the tomei air/fuel gauge installed over weekend not really for max performance. Just a sucker for old school jdm parts nearly had a set of oem wind deflectors seen them at the scrap yard came back 3 days later and they where gone :( fairly sick plus they where only 30euro. Might get ebay ones for 35 posted also saving for new 40mm springs 130euro so saving all my pennies for them that is all for now.
All comments good or bad welcome.

Update time order'd springs for old girl went for 40mm front and 35mm rear. The rear sits lower than the front so said i will compensate with 40 on front also 35mm i feel will be low enough on the rear.
Will pick up panhard bar soon just need to save some more dollar going to scrap yard tomorrow hoping to finally find full set of oem wind deflectors might even get import bumper to really make myself broke
any comments good or bad welcome or suggestions on car over and out jm.

There's some floating about but for a 5 door they are few and far between.

Couple of pictures from today fitted rear lights looked ace but soon seen that they need wiring to properly was not bother'd changing the wiring for them.
