Omega General Help / Pre facelift rattley/squeaky door cards
« on: 29 November 2020, 19:36:45 »
Hi all,

Since I’ve put on the B4’s & Eibach’s the squeaks from the interior door panels & rear shelf have got quite annoying.... How has this been sorted in the past? Self tappers?

Cheers

Jamie

Looking good mate.
Yours is the cleaner, lower mileage twin of mine (mine will clock over 90k shortly)

Spacers all round?  ???

Surely someone must do a set of wheels with roughly the right offset ::)

They’re PCD adapters & they’re the thinnest I’m willing to run. I already had the wheels so made them fit. I’ll get some that fit without adapters/spacers at some point  ;D

I had a couple of days free this week so decided to make a start on the Omega.
I fitted the Bilstein B4’s & Eibach Pro kit,
Swapped the beige trim & carpet for black & grey,
Fitted my new grille & gave it a wash.
My LSD arrived so it’s progressing nicely 😎









































Picking up some cloth MV6 Recaro’s as I’m really not a fan of old, shiny, slide leather 😂

Marneus, how width are the 19 wheels?

They are 8.5 x 19 et 45 all round with 25mm spacers on the back & 22mm spacers on the front so effectively et 20 on the rear & et 23 on the front.

Very smart 8)

Those yellow bushes... Where did you fit them?

I haven’t fitted them yet but they are the front wishbone front bushes & the rear trailing arm bushes. I know not do do the wishbone rear bushes in poly  :y

Hi all,

I’ve just figured out how to host pictures so I’m going to try post them up, please bare with me  ;D ;D

I bought my Omega for the 2nd time on the 14th June this year, I previously owned it from October’18 to March ‘19 when I was forced to sell under duress to buy my wife a new family wagon.

Here she is the day I picked her up.







And she’s very clean underneath.





The 1st thing I did after putting my plate on was change the wheels for the Saab Hammerheads I’d bought for my old Vectra, I liked the way they looked but they’re too narrow for my needs (7x17 et49 225/45/17 tyres)





Then I started gathering parts for the suspension overhaul I have planned & thought the wheels off the family wagon would look good on the Omega so bought some adapters.









Going to put 255/35/19’s on the rear to fill the arch properly.



She’s booked in to the body shop to have a couple of bits of rust sorted & the front bumper/bonnet painted at the end of September, then I’ve got a black interior to fit & the suspension overhaul before I get onto the performance mods.

Thanks for looking  :y

Welcome back :y If you do such a thread it will be interesting to read of your "journey" returning it to how you want it to be.

Thanks guys.

I’ll try get a thread up but with me doing everything from my phone I’m unsure how to add the pictures.... I’ll figure it out though  :y

Hi Everyone!

I’ve just bought my Omega back that I sold 18months ago.

It’s a 2000 mfl 2.5 saloon in green with a 5spd box & only 89k on the clock.

It needs some TLC as the interior has been bodged but I’m looking forward to the journey of getting it how I want it. Be prepared for quite a few questions :)

Cheers

Jamie

I recommend this shop for wishbones, rear arms and anti roll bars: https://www.strongflex.eu/en/1105-omega

Prices, delivery speed and product quality are all excellent.

nice supply of bushes there plus pedders for rear mounts thats the car sorted

still unsure about rear bush on front wishbone as need to bend so unsure on the strongflex poly one is this instance

I’ve ordered the full set from Strongflex & will see what they’re like when I install them in the arms.
Where will I find the Pedders top mounts (I’m after front & rear but can’t seem to find them online)

I had these on my E30 and couldn’t fault them for the price.

Morning all.

I’m planning on a full suspension re fresh in the new year and am wanting to poly bush the car. What are the recommendations for this?

Cheers

Tidy  :y


Are you doing anything with the rear chrome strip, seeing as how you're replacing the bumpers?  :y Neighbour decided mine was all nasty and straight, and thought it would be very nice to bend it for me with his pathetic parking skills.

As and when you get the arches done... those black stickers will come off with mild heat, and can be cleaned up with alcohol/similar, and re-attached with double sided tape very nicely. I know as I've done it myself recently. They're hen's teeth to source.  :)

When I get the bumper off you’re welcome to them, I’ll take a few photos when I’m next with the car as it’s been tapped at one side so may be no good to you.


What a gent! I've got some racing cylinder heads and high-lift cams (ie: off the 3.0) which I may well never get round to fitting - the general consensus is if you have the option to buy a 3.0 at reasonable cost then just throw the 2.5 in the bin... but I don't want to do that. Anyway, looking forward to seeing how this pans out, will watch with interest.  :y

No problem.
If you fancy parting with the cylinder heads I’ll be interested  :)
