Innovate Wideband on untuned car?

I have a 06 ix that is relatively stock, she has a Perrin intake, spoolin up COP, and ETS LICP & im currently in the process of installing the gruppe s gauge panel. I am wondering if it is possible to install the innovate afr gauge on a relatively stock, untuned car. I dont want to have a hole in my dash for that gauge and it needs to be installed before a tune anyway but im unsure if it is possible to install on my OEM untouched tune. Thanks.

It can be installed on any car. Keeping an eye on your AFRs is always good thing. It's great for helping to diagnose engine problems.

you're paying for cosmetic value. Not saying your way is ugly or anything, but that gauge pod looks like it's factory.

True. If I DD'd or showed my car, I would have gone another route.

Excellent for a race car, but stuff that isn't fitted 100% perfectly bothers the **** out of me as I daily my Evo. I have a POS Miata I use for the track :P

It fits perfect. Unless you mean something else? And daily drivers FTW. I have a civic that gets me around on a regular basis.

I meant in general, not your gauge in particular. I had a Civic CRX I picked up, that ****er got like 35mpg! A nice change in pace from evo life. Unfortunately it got stolen when I let a friend borrow it.

nooooooooooooo! those are the best. a friend of mine still drives his BEAT UP crx. 43mpg on that bad boy. it's nuts. and yeah.. driving the Civic every day really helps me to appreciate when i'm in the Evo. which, by they way, rattles and creaks like no other. it's the noisiest car i've ever owned LOL. it drive me crazy to daily it. then again, i have no carpet nor interior behind the front seats. but it's worse now after i did the factory recall on the airbag. i dunno what they did when the put the dash back in, but it sounds like a bag of aluminum cans rattling around under there.
