i reckon you need the forum web address plastered down the sides too!!

IL MAKE WHOEVER MAKES THE DECISION A DEAL.............
IF THEY SUPPLY THE GRAPHICS IL PUT THEM ON!!!! :y
CANT SAY FAIRER THAN THAT!!!!
question is who decides and what do they look like? ::)
-
Thats a VERY nice looking ex-plod megga, and i must say very tastefully modified as well!!
Love the alloys and the new exhaust, looks very impressive. Well done! :y
-
cheers mate.....but wont be so tastefull once graphics on it!!!! ;)
ha ha ha
na seriously have some graphics to put on it.... they going on monday night... il take some pics then.... but if i was going to keep it for road use no graphics would be put on at all as i like how it looks at the moment.....
waiting on my bonnet grill plain black one.... should of been here this week but didn't show......
as of yet got to strip interior, roll cage it, playing around with all sorts of idea's at the moment so watch this space....

Hi there,
Not been on here very long but am very interested in your meega,
What have you done to the engine in the tuning area? and also what gains do you get by putting the veccy gsi inlet chamber on? is yours a 3.0 or 3.2?
lots of questions i know but i am looking for ideas to tune up my MV6!
I have cut out the dual ram aswell as its soo restritive!
chris.
-
engine wise mate its a 3.0 as the 3.2 are just still too much money still.....
as for tuning without spending a shed loads your looking at a limit of around 250bhp as that seems to be the BHP most agree on before engine goes POP........ :'(
My mk1 omega with vectra inlet was a pain in the ass if im frank....... i ran gsi inlet with an enlarged 70mm throttle body..... no real gains just made it easier to get rid of the duel ram... or so we thought.. its not just an easy swap mate... and wouldn't recomend doing it.... :-/.... unless your into making your engine bay bigger with a hammer!! and re-locating wiper moter to battery side and making new linkages for it... and thats just for starters....... :o
the duel ram is restrictive so they say but il be honest if you can get a very good COLD air feed into air box which isn't hard at all to do it does help..... when we ditched the duel ram it gave us about 8bhp top end but suffered mid range so it shows the duel ram does infact work. :-?
the best mod you cxan do with these lardy barge's is weight loss!!!!!
i also do have a development lightened flywheel which nolonger is duel mass and a development underdrive pulley (which alone gives 3bhp!!) but as i said they are under development from a friend of mine who is testing them on mine!!!
flywheel was origianlly just off 15kg !!!! its now 6kg!!! thats the same as shifting i think he worked it out to be 90kg from the car, just for the fly wheel.
-
AND i will also add...... im sure i can get VERY VERY VERY GOOD DISCOUNTS on these items once fully tested........
So if anyone interested in a lightened flywheel or an underdrive pulley give me a shout and il see what he can do.
-
Ok put my name down! But you test them first! :D :D
-
no problem ... no where near ready yet but when they are il put a group buy in the fo :yrum
-
New car looks great, old car not bad either. Would like to have a go myself but with a cream crackered shoulder cannot any more. :'( :'(
Good luck with the racing though and i think it would be good to have some sort of 'stake' in the project from the forum.
If a sticker could be made and decided on then i feel that would be a good idea. Might give you another 3bhp.... ;D ;D

Did you get those Steinmetz wheels of E bay about four weeks ago ?
Cheers
Don
-
MIGHT OF :-[ ;)
ha ha ha
why who's asking? ::)
-
Good for you, I was watching them hidden away in the back of beyond listings and didn't believe that they were 35mm offset as the seller described.Steinmetz are always wide offset wheels so after contacting him he confirmed that they were 25 and I backed off. Good tyres on them too ,you robbed him ;D
When you going to post a video ?
Cheers
Don

ha ha well omega performed very bloody well on sat....... il be honest it supprised so many cars!!!!!!!!!!!!
pics and vids to come.... :y
also those good tyres lasted a Sat but thats it ..... down to cord now!!!!! :y :'(
Just waiting to get my slick for next time

Hi,
Just interested in what made you picked an Omega as your track car. I've owned one for 6 years and love the fact you did but don't you drive a Beemer.
Regards
Ong

Hi palmer, How do you insert an image in this gallery section? I have found the insert image button but all I get is.... (http://)
-
hi as for choosing omega for track car ........ well almost perfect 50/50 weight front to rear..... over 200bhp out the box, LSD diff, rear wheel drive.... and cheap to maintain ..... :y
yes they have some serious weight issues but worked on principle once moving they are quite quick...... belive it or not.....
OH and the added fact an omega isn't everyone's 1st thought of a track car so i like supprising people with it!!!!!!
and yes drive BMW 5 series Alpina B10 estate but if that goes wrong i would need a 2nd morgage!!!!!!!! :o
----
As for posting pics mate.... need to open an account with PHOTOBUCKET .... then use them to host a pic..... just open a account and then take it from there... its all free too!!! :y
-
Good answer.
I've just up graded my 2.0l to an 3.0 MV6 estate and I love the noise it makes when you boot it. Would like to see you race one day so let us know your dates in the future.
Ong
