Im quite sure you can buy an O2 sensor extension online, Google something like Honda O2 sensor extender(try extension if extender doesnt work). Saves you from soldering but i prefer to DIY.

what kind of wire is it? - im guessing speaker wire wont work? =p

Ill have to double check when i finish work but IIRC its 18-24 awg(roughly 24 x 0.2mm) you want to use. If you go to small or big you can get a flase reading so you basically want to use the same gauge wire thats alerady there. Ill check which one i used when i get home then ill post up the gauge and strand count as we dont seem to use gauge much here in aus, I asked the lad at the local jaycar if he had some 24 gauge cable and he just looked at me funny...

Ok im back sorry for the delay i had to stay late and fill out some reports.

I used 24 X 0.2 mm(18 Awg?), it looked to be a tiny bit larger than the stock cable but it works fine and it was the closet i could get so if you have something closer to 20 Awg you might be better using that.

I just cut my O2 cable in half checked the wire inside the cable was roughly the same size as the wire in the new cable and spliced/soldered the joins. Remember to use heat shrink as the heat in your engine bay will peel off any exposed electrical tape. If you dont have heatshrink you can do the dodgy like i did and use elecrtical tape but cover it by cutting the black sheilding covering the stock O2 wire in 2 pieces and slide it over the electrical taped joins so the tape doesnt peel off with the heat. ill post a pic so you know what i mean, im bad at describing things expecially when i been up all night lol.
