Hi i was looking at LVD infractions where does rule say that A/f meter cant be used in competition? I agree i dont like seeing them on front seat in pits but during a pass? Are the O2 sensors that noticeable? Can still be used if not noticeable? please clarify i have a new in box here on shelf.

In the AAR we have the o2 sensors wires coming through the doors, around the rocker panels. It does look cheesey, and I understand why they should be taken out for competition. I had just taken out 3 jet sizes and wanted to see where the a/f was.
If you hide it so you can't see it, I doubt there would be a problem.

I imagine the issue is wiring visable outside the car.

On my Duster I ran the wiring down thru a drain plug under the seat and the box sat on the tranny hump.

The wires are an issue, as well as having devices in the car in visible sight. A lap top or a meter sitting on the seat during competition it's not part of the image we are looking to portray.
