   fuck adjustables... lol... mole grips do the job why on earth would you remove the lamda!?? unless you like failing mot's!.. I suppose you could replace it with a potentiometer which you can set to the desired setting therefore manually adjusting fuelling (like mine... but its standard) but other than that it'll throw your ECU's fuel setings out and you'll end up running like a bag of shit

    My bad lol..... just thought it was a "will this increase performance and pop in my exhaust bruv?" type question... was a little squiffy earlier not too bad now.... I think I've got a spanner that fits them, I'm sure I didn't do mine with an ajustable... ste's was done with mole grips though lol.... how proffesional
