Put a Kia Forte through its paces across the Los Angeles National Forest.I put a non descript euro shitbox through its paces this morning. Fun isn’t the word that sprang to mind. Shite was a word
For a wwd shitbox with a CVT gearbox, it was actually quite fun.

I’ve only ever had one genuine ballpoint fail. And I ran all mine on genuine wishbones, which just kept getting refurbed apart from the first time when I bought a pair (back when they were dirt cheap).
That’s where I get that idea from. Virtually all of the shagged ball joints I’ve seen have been on pattern arms. Most of them the shit provided (when they can be arsed to post) by ATP |

That points towards an issue either with the cluster or the connection from the engine ECU.But engine right on high rpm. Car starts to stall when accelerating. Maybe I should start with (crank and/or cam sensor)? Fuel filter ok? if it miss fires on acceleration that points to ignition voltage and coil packs |

Every Omega I have ever owned has required ball joints, so not sure where you get that idea from.To me, the only thing the originals do better than refurbished ones is that the ball joints are rivetted on, not bolted.The balljoints usually last nearly forever, and the rear bushes are dirt cheap and readily available. Once you fit the other shite, you lose these benefits. |

Hoping to move house at some point this year and parking four cars just isn't going to be feasible. I also know that the Silver Omega just doesn't get used and is really an ornament. Plan is to pop it in for an MOT then take the 6 pot brakes off it and return to standard setup along with the standard wheels and steering wheel, grill etc. A mate in Norn Irn was recently asking me if I knew of a nice V6 Omega for sale. Must be silver because the RUC ones were Silver and him being a retired member, is a bit sentimental about them in silver. If you could let me know when it comes up for sale, I will mention it to him. Cheers. |
