Newbie from Finland
« on: 22 June 2014, 01:01:20 »

Hi, I'm havin my second omega now so decided to register here since my love for Omegas seems to last even in the middle of all these oil leaks and other 'features' this one and a half ton piece of (rusty) awesomeness has to offer  :y 

Currently I'm driving 2,5 v6 sedan with stick shift, not as reliable as my old c20ne-ar25 Omega A (Vaux Carlton) but it runs and moves so who am I to complain ;D

Because of leaking heat exchanger/head gasket, slipping clutch and the running sound of an old Transit the first project for my Omega is to swap the engine/gearbox set from a crashed Omega. (Or maybe just swap body parts and new cooler from my car if damages aren't as bad as I've been told.) Might post pictures here if people are interested!


So, about myself. I'm 21 years old guy and live in small town in southwestern Finland with my gf, her daughter and our two cats. Studying to be a truck driver and will graduate next year! Got a thing for 4/Rwd opels/vauxies, especially for omegas. If anyone has some must-know v6 engine/trany swap tricks please share your knowledge since this is my first bigger job with the engine. (Did full sealing operation for my old ar25, twice... so transmission is pretty familiar to me). Looking forward to see what this forum has to offer!   8)

Hi, Welcome to the OOF.  :y

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
