PITA getting the factory "headers" out, but all in all with stop /start to play babysitter, and one trip to repo to get o2 sensor remover socket, all done in good time.... supplied sensor positions seem ok and no error codes... only had chance to take on short drive but certainly feels like more torque, yay

Pretty sure you going to get a code from the second(downstream) O2 sensor unless you get a tuner to disable it.
It checks if the Catalytic Converter is working and seeing it's no longer after the "Cat"' it will surely throw a code.
You will need to relocate the sensor to after the mid pipe Cat. Extension cables are available.

Thanks, and likewise great to meet you

Yes I made it to Sandown, but late

missed the entry time to join parade, had to park on the street

... great day regardless and has fuelled my fire to get on the track, and get amongst it... great seeing so many Mx5's in one place..

Fitted Tapturn (http://www.autowindow.com/ ) recently, quite like the way is works, a little pricey, but good....
Also ordered GWR Q rear muffler, set for delivery this week

also had O2 bung fitted in mid pipe to relocate sensor!...
Lowered my seat, as getting tired of hitting my head on crossbeam of roof when its up, found some interesting and useful info here (https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=398248) and my seat pan is now on the floor at its lowest setting! much better and my head now clears cross beam!..

Removed the Bose head unit and installed Alpine double din I had, mostly to get connection with iPhone.. pretty happy with it, still have Bose amp and speakers, but sounds a lot better with head unit, and pretty happy with the look...
did some CF Wrapping of trim while I had things apart.. not a huge fan of CF wrap, but think it looks a lot better than the dull silver the trim was before..

Brought AEM CAI, fitted today... wanted to remove the cabin sound enhancer at same time to tidy engine bay up so ordered the NC1 kit as it has standard elbow.... removing the bumper and fitting the CAI was pretty straight forward and all went as planned apart from needing a fitting for the elbow for the oil vapour line...
