Bank sensors

Hey everyone. Reading Gadget pages I got excited then let down yesterday. I was reading about the titanium bolts that will lay down the white sparks when you scrape. Sounds awesome.
SO, I went outside. that must just be for the 99-04 model. I look under mine and there is a big chunk of metal bolted on. Not at all what gadget's page described. I call the dealership and find out it is called a " bank sensor ". They are only 9.99 apiece. Any one know of one made with a titanium lower layer or something that will give the same effect. I think that would be pretty neat.

Thanks for tips.

Sam

So the official name is "bank sensor"? That's like calling a hammer a "gross adjustment tool".

Just drill some little holes in them and thread in some titanium screws. Spark away!

I knew someone would come up with a solution.

now I just did a search and maybe I'm onot using the corect term here and that's why I couldnt find any thing. Can some one find online a thread tapper to put in the threads afer I drill the whole?
I guess just the size for M6x1.00.12 Button socket cap bolt that is on gadgets page. I would assume efor a hard metal like that I would need to tap it.

Any insight?

I thought a bank sensor was that camera thingy at the ATM. Go figure.. For additional sparks drill yer boot heels too.....

I wonder: Anyone here fool enough to hot wire a spark plug in the exhaust?
