R50/53 I'm going in. Need some ideas...

Coolant leak is a small leak where the lower rad silicone hose simply does not clamp tight enough. The rad is new all aluminum, the reservoir is new and everything else is new or in excellent condition. Once I slap on the new heavy duty clamp the issue will be resolved. As for the O2, I have the catless 4-2-1 header. It's just as well made as the stocker with significantly less restriction and a lot more noise. I do not think the stock unit would deliver the power I currently get. As stated earlier, the light affects nothing. It's just annoying.
BTW, the sound inside the car is decent. The stock radio and speakers sound pretty good and I can hear them without resorting to anything drastic. I could use some more sound deadening and I may try that later but I have other projects to attend to.

awesome you have your car back on the road - what a PIA. just hoping my own terribly packaged luk clutch serves me better - I should know soon enough! Best of luck with the hopefully much smaller headaches that remain
I also appreciate the feedback on that miltek sounding a bit ricey. I saw a couple YouTube videos of the unresonated versions and felt the same. My Invidia exhaust is loud but I love the deep and growly tone - hopefully once I deaden the sound a bit from the inside it will be perfect
