Haven't seen it spooling up the street yet Matty. How's it coming along? BTW hows the green machine happening along too?

nah its at the front of the car underneath the battery....down there, it hangs out under the car, its an air temp sensor i think but i dont know where it goes...

Don't know if you got an answer for this, but that is the temp sensor for the O/S Temp readout on your climate control and will plug into a clip at the bottom of your radiator (if factory Radiator)..
