Engine light came on, its the o2 sensor hence maybe why she is drinking heaps of fuel.

My mechanic quoted $580 + labor, honda $650 parts only. Ebay $350?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OEM-HONDA...#ht_2862wt_825

Are they the same thing? If so I will buy the part and get it replace. Can anyone help me save a few hundreds? Thanks alot

Try JDM Concept, they have it in stock for $310 in Sydney

Try following this first: http://www.k-series.com/tech_document.php?id=37 to see what is actually causing the CEL. Check the code and then go buy the part.

Got my primary sensor o2 sensor from JDMyard, as I needed it quite quickly $350 delivered.

Amazon is cheaper, but you need the right part number and mailing can be anywhere from 2-4 weeks.

the one that sell on JDM concept, are they exactly same as honda parts? will honda part run better? I am pretty clueless but is mixing fuel and oxygen better to use honda parts or OEM will do?

Think you're a little confused there. OEM = Honda. Therefore, what JDM Concept sell, if it's labelled as 'OEM' then it will be exactly the same as what Honda sell.

Your mechanic is over charging you mate.

I bought mine for $310 from jdmyard and mechanic charged me no more than $30 for labour == $340 total.

I have heard some people tried to use a DENSO one that cost about $200 or less.
They claim to be the same as the OEM but I rather pay the money to be 100% sure.

Hi Bluey,
Just wondering if this is where you got the shift boot from? http://www.shop.interior-customs.com...ather-0042.htm
Any chance you could upload some pics? Looks pretty sweet.

Hi Azz86,
Thanks mate. I already had the shift boot when I bought the car. try check jdmyard or jdm concept? I've never bought from that website before so I'm not too sure. I'll take some more photos tonight.

Cheers
