RE: Let's See Your Disco!
you can get them for that, but they don't have connectors, and people have had problems with the just in genreal. If you use them, make sure you solder the connections, heat shrink and then liquid tape. I would check the insulation at least every 6 mot=nths to make sure the cats havn't baked your job off. Also, when replacing, do all 4 at once. Your performance won't be any better, and you may get more codes just replacing 2.

RE: Let's See Your Disco!
Thanks discoguy,
You think I will have better performance by replacing all 4? Iknew the ones I bought doesn't have the connectors but I figured I would just cut off the old ones and solder them to the new connectors (saves $65 each) but never thought of the heat wrap, good advice. I have to concentrate on the getting the emissions to pass first so i'll replace the two downstream ones and hopefully it will pass. But taking your advice to heart, i will replace the other two asap. Also I read that 3 of them are fairly easy to replace but one is a %$#@&, apparently you need to remove a crossmember or something to get at it. I don't have a garage to work on it and it's cold here in New England

I would also like to emphasise that you would be better off replacing with the one's from Atlantic British. I am on a budget myself and do my own work, so I can appreciate your delima, but I am going for the sensors from ATB.
If you must, just make sure you get all of the wires in the right spot and make a good connection. These read on resistance, so a good connection and the same length wire is crutial. Also, the heat shrink and liquid tape are for insulation and water resistance...
Performance wise, your sensors start to fail around 70K. Even if they aren't trowing codes, replacing them can give you a good boost in MPG, but you have to do all 4. The notice will not be instant, as you computer has to get used to the new sensors. YOu can have your ECU reset by someone with a scanner if you want instant results..
Cheers and good luck..

I would like to post my pictures by my name and for this discusion I have made the size of my picture 145x109jpg and it still wouldnt let me it tells me it is to large. and when I reply in a discusion like this I cant find how to get it on here. I am very computer illiterate so that dosent help.

I think you have the picture size right but you need to decrease the actual file size to less than 25 kb. You just need to reduce the image quality. If you have photoshop use the "save for web" feature. If you want to post up the pic you have in a post, I can reduce it for you to fit your AV.
