General Car Chat / Re: gearbox top up.

Indeed. Beware the seals and oil though. They seem to swell up, presumably not oil proof, on the one I had anyway.

Oh Kevin! And after all that fuss "you" caused about jubilees.

....I get the feeling I've asked this before.

Omega General Help / Re: Brake master cylinder
« on: 21 July 2015, 15:12:45 »
Seem to remember a tis entry explaining a two stage level of assistance. The first stage being very gradual to keep the chauferd gent in the back happy. Yet if the driver stamps on the brakes he gets more assistance in an emergency.
I guess Marks post implies your symptoms are entirely normal if that's the case. And I need to fit a servo off a TD to get rid of the shite pedal feel on mine.

General Discussion Area / Plasma cutting titanium sheet.
« on: 21 July 2015, 13:31:08 »
Mate has an old titanium bike exhaust silencer he has stripped to leave a simple cone shape. This he wants to cut up to make heat shields for the new exhaust that replaces it.
It's curbed in shape and obviously tricky to hold. Plasma hand heald torch to the rescue. But will it spark like a barsuard and burn me garage to the ground?

General Car Chat / Re: The 'rude boy' thread innit (coilovers and wheel spacers)
« on: 21 July 2015, 13:26:26 »No, the offset is the distance between the mounting face and the centre line of the wheel.To follow on from that....
So fit a wider wheel with the same offset and no massive impact, alter the offset and you screw the geo up.
So fitting spacer to correct the offset may be consider a good thing....
Yep, although on omega coming from a standard 17 to 18 with either rt38 or et30 sport stars, there was no difference in handling given the et difference of 8mm. So with a 245 wide tyre you have 8mm between rubbing the shock upright at more than -1.15 camber and rubbing the wheel arch on the outer edge.
So on an omega there is no noticeable difference in handling across 8mm difference in et. A 4mm spacer would work nicely with vectra sport stars is my point. But that's an example of how spacers can work for you. Generally they are not used correctly causing more issue than they fix. Still, quite rightly, described as a bodge though.

Omega General Help / Re: 3.2 Power loss
« on: 21 July 2015, 13:12:50 »
Almost certainly multi ram related. You need an assistant to rev the engine while you watch them move. Check front one isn't catching on associated radiator gubbins. And that the inlet bagpipes are seated correctly on their peg.

You could buy a proper car for that kind of money.
Oooooh you'll upset him you know. With that kind of talk.
....er, er.... Just think of the fuel savings. 
although seriously, just for a minute you understand, imagine NEVER needing to pay for fuel ever again. ...EVER.
Ok that's enough....
I can imagine waiting hours to charge the damn thing up on a long journey though. Bugger that.

Yes they do actually, almost sexy.
Stood next to Honda Accord (I think) Hybrid as it pulled away in electric mode. Bah, it's just not the same. Car instantly takes on a plastic fibre glass type presence, almost with rattling bottles.
