Over the weekend Lola got two new oxygen sensors. I de-pinned the connectors, cut this 3' fire sleeve into two 18" pieces, fed the wires though, fire taped the ends by the sensors, re-pinned the connectors and installed them.
The fire sleeve covers the wires from where they screw into the header down pipe up to where the VC meets the head. It may be overkill for the amount of heat they'd normally see, though I don't ever have to worry about the wires shifting and getting too close to a hot pipe and melting.
Her check engine light is now gone (as is the piece of black cardboard that was covering it up), and my butt dyno says I have more low end power.
Thanks to Levent for the great service, to my friend Lee for the assist de-pinning the connectors, to my friend Bill for use of his lift and to bimmerteck for the advice on use of the sleeve.
