General Car Chat / Re: Somebody said bespoke?

Read through a 15 page thread on a B234R conversion on MIGweb... various oil issues, partly due to mounting the engine vertically and partly from custom sump... not a straight forward swap either, although the chap doing it did seem to make it awkward by trying to stuff a Monza diff into an Omega casing, along with a Jag gearbox... whole car was basically built from scratch, and ended up being scrapped...

If it's the same Serek, he knows the thread as he posted on it

To anv6, if you want a 3.0 manual, then this is chance to get best of both worlds... find a scruffy post '98 3.0 manual, and pull the engine, box and clutch from it. Then fit 2.6/3.2 manifolds, 3.0 cats, replace all the sensors with the 3.2 items, and fit the loom from a 2.6 manual along with the coil packs, and plug this into the 3.2 ecu. Job jobbed. This assumes that the ecu is still with the car... otherwise you'll need the ecu, immobiliser ring and key chips too...

End result would see the engine and box you want in a newer Omega. Reading through... this was pretty much what you were told when you first asked...

RWD conversion with saab engine are ok till you start using car Hard ( track days) that when oil issue come, so thats way peoply try different sump options
imho most time its down to engine worn witch need repair and bring back to right standard

I was given the suggestion of going fully bespoke a few times here, in order to get to the car I want.

Well, today I stumbled on something that might be a good opportunity for that.

It's a low mileage 2003 3.2 Omega. But it's missing both the engine and gearbox. Besides that it's supposed to be complete.

I think I could get it for an interesting price.

But would it be a headache to fit a 3.0 with a R28 manual box in it? Something is telling me it won't be a straight job with all the electronics that probably interact with everything.

And while we are at it, and this is most likely out of curiosity, but it is an empty engine bay after all, would I be limited to the Omega range of engines and gearboxes if I want anything half way simple to install? Or would other GM options with more power be sensible?

Stick b234 in it R28 will bolt straight  on

General Car Chat / Re: Ebay - Irmscher mv6 17s & steering wheel... & some scrap metal attached

« on: 12 January 2017, 20:28:38 »

Not much there really. Incomplete and damaged fake Steinmetz body kit.

I never liked the Irmscher steering wheel with the fake carbon fiber. I think it looks chavy and cheap. The car seems to be too far gone. But if somebody wants the steering wheel only, he could probably get it separately and for a good price by making an offer.

Maybe is cheap and chavy but I like look of it , that's way I bought one from irmscher direct brand new for £149 don't think was bad price

General Car Chat / Re: code readers for kia?

« on: 10 January 2017, 21:44:54 »

Hi ive had nothing but issues with my kia Sedona bought in July 2016 but today its failed its MOT as the ABS light was off, the garage checked the bulb in dash first (which had been removed already) but when they put a new one in the light did not come on, but they could not read any codes as the standard plug in footwell (I think 16 pin) does not let them delve into ABS codes, but in the engine there is a 20 pin socket that they said I would have to go to a Kia dealer to read, well I phoned them and they want £48 just to plug a machine in and a further £80 an hour to diagnose, and they added that if the abs pump has gone they will not be able to read any codes anyway.
Ive had enough and wondered if A. someone on here local to derby can help or B. if anyone has some good advise on a step forward, I cant afford to replace this car at the moment and its a life line for my ever growing family

not local but if you get stuck you more then welcome to visit my place
Btw they must have no work at workshop
