Omega General Help / Re: Lowering

« on: 26 October 2016, 21:37:46 »

 Not after slammed, just a moderate lowering and as I've used Eibach before on my old Vectra I'll probably use them again but just wanted to ask of  here for other options. Don't suppose anybody has any pics of their cars on Eibach springs by any chance?

Think I'll definitely go for the Eibachs then.

Eibach springs and Bilstein B4'swork well on two of mine, also Irmscher springs and B4's on one of my others a tad better still

I'll go Eibach as I suspect they'll be easier to find. Lol

Eibachs, Bilsteins and polybushes turn it into a fairly OK handling car so long as you fit decent tyres as well. Don't forget to modify the camber angles front and rear to take account of the drop or you'll just wear the tyres out in no time. You might be near or at the limit of adjustment on the front. -1.20 on -30mm fronts is the limit on mine and is OK 5000 miles later.

Thanks fella, appreciate the advice.

Mine's not an MV6 sadly, only a 2.2 CD. Thanks for the advice guys.

I've seen slammed ones and they do look good but they're not for me. Just a moderate lowering will do.

I've had Eibachs on my old Vectra and that seemed like a happy medium with being lower but not too low and still giving a more sure footed drive without compromising driver comfort. They normally go 30mm lower than standard. I just wondered if anybody had any other recommendations and, as in your case, advice such as the quirk. Much appreciated.

I'm looking at upgrading the suspension in the near future, not slammed but lowered to improve looks and handling but still be comfortable enough for long family journey's. Any suggestions? 51 plate 2.2 petrol saloon.

Blanking plate easily fabricated. Does it need a cheater? Just leave unit in place and plugged in?

Last car I had was a Z22SE Vectra and there were kits for this, just assumed these had the same.

Omega General Help / Rough running

« on: 11 March 2016, 16:35:48 »

Hi all, my 2.2 petrol had developed a problem. Fitted the exhaust manifold last Saturday and took it for mot, passed with brake pipe advisory. Didn't drive it at all Sunday but what driving I did until Monday morning was spot on. On my way into work Monday morning the engine symbol came on and the thing is now running rough. It seems like it's missing/hunting. Is there anyone near Wisbech that has any ideas on what to look at or has a tester to plug in please?

Omega General Help / Passed mot

« on: 06 March 2016, 10:10:22 »

Well after a couple of weeks being off the road trying to source and replace my exhaust manifold I finally have an mot pass. So all I have to do now is before the next mot replace all the brake lines. Think I'll do an upgrade to some Goodrich braided hoses while I'm at it.

March 5th Spiceland,Sawtry 7PM......there's a beer and a curry with your name on it Just got to turn up

Hopefully my Mig will be up and running by then. 

You don't have to turn up in an Omega; we all know what they look like! It's a good way of meeting some of the other members here. Although you won't be meeting me, as I'll be in France.

Maybe so but I'd still like to bring it along. Hope you enjoy your time in France though bud.
