Post by: Mr.OmegaMan on 09 May 2013, 22:04:14
2002 "51" Omega Elite 3.2 Saloon Nocturno Blue.. Almost done 190k, Overall a tidy car for the money..

Not keen on the tail pipe but sounds very good and its a stainless steel cat back system so a tough choice  ::)

Will upload more pic's once i've properly cleaned, clayed, polished, waxed etc..

Strange how the Vauxhall badge is on the drivers side and Omega 3.2 V6 on passenger side. Looks ok like that though...

You'd think so going by the pictures but that's just from a wash with a bucket of water & some car shampoo  :y

Thanks Bud, Aye yeah its a decent car for the money,

I never attempted to make my 2.2 GLS to an Elite spec just saw the list of things it didn't have and gave up after fitting 17" alloys and boot spoiler  ;D

A bit messy to do but the end results are worth it imo.

Can see from pictures results are really worth it, quite a lot though for kit. Enough left to do more headlights? I would have 4 Omega's to do  ;D

If the headlights are bad probably the kit will do x3 Omega headlights along with the spot lamps, maybe can be stretched to x4 hard to say  :-\

Porb would not bother with spot lamps, headlights only. 3.2 ones are nice and clear, but 2.2 ones are a little faded. Could do with a clean up  :)

3.2 good on fuel? What are you smoking  :o

Its really shite on fuel and crap power given its fuel use, a 6.0 V8 Monaro is better on fuel on a good run!

A Jag XJ 4.2 V8 uses about same fuel as 3.2 GM lump!

I get 27 mpg on gas in the 2.2, that costs 67p litre to fill up.

3.2 gets 27 mpg, but that costs £1.34 litre to fill up  ::)

Suspect I'd get around 20mpg if I gassed the 3.2....

3.0 is better on fuel, better idle too, have I mentioned I'm not really a fan of the DBW V6s  ::)

Smoking  :o Sounds nice  :y

Nice looking car  :y :y strange how the badges are opposite to normal  :-\ and has it got a stainless exhaust as it only has one outlet and is square.  8)
Thanks  :)

Yes its got a CAT back stainless exhaust which gives it a lovely growl but not too much when cruising along  ;)

Not sure about the badges, They where like that when Elite Pete had it so been like that for awhile, Don't mind them like that but odd nevertheless  :-\







Just seen the vid posted  :-[ sounds good.  :y :y any name on it ??

This is what it sounds like in an open space, No smoke here just knackered it instead   ;D ;D :'(

Smoking  :o Sounds nice  :y

Nice looking car  :y :y strange how the badges are opposite to normal  :-\ and has it got a stainless exhaust as it only has one outlet and is square.  8)
Thanks  :)

Yes its got a CAT back stainless exhaust which gives it a lovely growl but not too much when cruising along  ;)

Not sure about the badges, They where like that when Elite Pete had it so been like that for awhile, Don't mind them like that but odd nevertheless  :-\

Yeah I was surprised looking back at the pictures, Thinks its a trick of the camera but the mini is taller, I wash it once a week or so with liquid wax and every 2 months use proper wax after some polish etc.  ;)

Very little in it... The 3.2 is more of a effortless glide when coming out of junctions, The 2.2 howls more nothing wrong with that mind.. But cruising on a duel carriageway or motorway there isn't much difference at all both fairly quiet. It's just handy to have the extra power sometimes which could get you out of a sticky situation which the 3.2 has done many times already  :y..

Quick Update:

Time to touch up some of the stone chips etc... Got a very good matching touch up paint from Paints4u much much better than the VX / GM touch up paint's...

The pictures below are how it looked unfortunately I forgot to take close up pictures so had to crop these out of other pictures... As you can see the patch is a darker blue that's the GM/VX stuff completely useless match, and yes correct paint code and everything  ::)..

Finished the job just need to take some pic's, the Panints4u paint is a good match hardly noticeable, Bumper isn't bad enough to justify taking off and doing the whole thing.

By the way the headlights are still as clear as they day i used that 3M headlight kit on them.. She has over 190k on the clock now and still going strong (touch wood)  ::) ;D..

TAX is due end of this month though, Still i'd rather pay £154 for 6 months rather than half that on a eco box with no soul  :y

Yep LLyn Celyn 2 of those snap shots, Same here Tunnie, Just that for me the 3.2 is very similar on cost to run overall, TAX the same, MPG for me i don't see the difference, Plus more comfort and toys coming from a GLS to an Elite and not forgetting the extra performance is there when needed, Granted the 2.2 is easier to work on but you adapt.
