RICE RACING will become famous soon enough
word of warning on these sensors for you people who actually drive your cars!

These sensors WILL fail after around 10,000km of use. Because of the exposed element and the pulsing nature of the rotary engine (and maybe the effect of over 30psi intake manifold pressure!) the sensor wires DO fatigue and break resulting in the AIT sensor going open circuit (showing -40 deg C lol) .....

I have seen this happen over 2 of these sensors now, but unlike most I do actually drive my rotary daily! and do allot of testing kilometers !!!

I have another supplier in the U.K. who sells a slightly different version of this open AIT sensor and I am doing durability trials on these across a various range of customer cars and mine as well.

Will update when we accumulate some more real world testing
