Hey--the NTK wide band unit for the '93--'95 Honda Civic VTEC cars sells
for about $110, jobber, an IDENTICAL unit is sold by NTK for use in their
units for about $600, and the SAME unit is sold by Horiba as a replacement
for their exhaust gas analyzers for about $1000!!

Figure some more!--It's not an honest world!
