Yep, I think the O2 sensor is the way forward. I want to go injection at some point in the future, so will need it at that point anyway.

That's interesting as the site I'm using, which purports to use the same data, says different: I've included BBV and BBG for reference as one of those is what I had fitted originally, both of those being quoted as the stock needle, but I've no way of telling which. Given that all of the...

After a few drives, I've come to the conclusion that the BBW needles are too rich for the current setup, even with the enhanced intake, so I've switched to BAF. I've not had the opportunity to cover many miles since I installed them but initial impressions are good. I'll still need to get the...

I'll be interested to hear if it makes a difference!

So, in theory, the shape and size of the inlet helps pressurise the filter canister? In that case perhaps, as you say, it's more beneficial at lower revs and might only be a restriction at the top end.

I think it's unlikely to be the gearbox bearings - if it was bad enough to be causing that kind of problem then it would be making a terrible racket as soon as you released the clutch. I had a noisy one in at one point and it never caused any problems in that way. That's why I thought it could...

Yep, shouldn't be the slipper pads then. How odd - with all of those new parts, nothing else springs to mind. Hope you manage to get it sorted!

Must be something that happens with these - mine is also seized solid, but luckily didn't shear when I tried to remove it.

You've been busy! That's looking great and that's a lovely finish on the valence and the other parts you've painted. Cellulose again? For the clutch issue, it could be the slipper pads. I had trouble getting the clutch to disengage fully when warm and the worn slipper pads were allowing the...

Thanks for the info. I might just try enlarging the intake of the P6 one later in the year.

Again, for something that unique, that appears to be in good condition, I don't think that's too bad at all! I doubt it would have made quite that much if it didn't have all of the police equipment still.

That's looking great. I might have to add something similar to the to do list for mine!

Thanks for the link to that thread, there's some really interesting info in there. Looks like I should think about enlarging the intake pipe.

I guess one school of thought is that the smaller intake will increase the ram effect into the filter canister, which might speed up the flow. However, the smaller intake could restrict the overall volume of air entering.

Thanks for the pic, I can confirm that mine is the standard P6 filter canister with the smaller size intake.
