Stuning, love that set of alloys :y :y

Would love for mine to look like that. very very smart :y
-
Looks brilliant mate, you can tell it has had a lot of time and effort put into it. :y
And there is no other like it 8)
-
Looks amazing.... love it... :y :y :y :y :y :y
Please post some pics of that tuned engine...
-
Cheers guys.
Only have one more of the bay. still needs a few things doing to tidy it up, like new header tank etc. I also have a strutbrace to put on from germany, just need to cut and re-weld it slightly differently to clear the brake servo tank. Will get round to it soon..
These pics are from last year, only thing ive done is moved the EGR valve under the battery tray to hide it, in the pic its bolted on a bracket looking messy

Very nice pal :y
-
That looks so good mate very euro. :y :y
-
all very nice :y
-
Stunning!!!
Love the wheels and the height is perfect too... :y
-
Bagpipe box looks easier to get on/off ...not like the original >:(
-
Yep,had that car sitting on my driveway for about 20mins and then Jay took it away :'( :'( :'(
-
One word... MMMMMMMMMMMM
Now toffee me for being dumb.. But EGR and secondary air removed.. Err please explain. Sounds like a mod I can do on mine
-
You can buy a blanking plate for the EGR valve so it stays in the same place but is blanked. Which is how i use to have mine, but now ive made my own blanking plate on the plenum and moved the EGR under the battery out the way, it needs to remain plugged in so the ECU thinks its still working.
I used to have the secondary air injection removed and the manifold pipes blanked, but when i fitted the 3.2 exhaust manifolds it allowed me to remove the SAI altogether
Just tried to keep my intake temps as low as possible as the omega runs far to hot, the throttle bodie heater pipe removal is another good one. it warms the throttle bodie, which obviously raises the intake temps. so i blanked the waterbridge outlet and fitted a 2.5TD header tank without the throttle bodie heater pipe attachment
Removing the aircon is the best one by far though. the aircon rad and fans just block the coolent rad, when its all removed it gets airflow straight to the coolent rad. my temp gauge sits nice and low
And my second air feed is a 3" pipe cut into the bottom of the airbox, and ducting running to the front grill next to the original intake. So it gets all the air it needs and as cold as possible going into the engine.
I just want to redo the exhaust side of it next as im still running both CATS. and although the 3.2 manifolds are alot more free flowing, they are still very restrictive. So next im going to order the custom friedrich tubular manifolds and then go full custom exhaust from there back so it gets rid of the CATS as well
Should breathe perfectly then
Hope this helps a bit, Any questions just ask :y

I'll tell it briefly : You're the most beautiful OMEGA I know ! :y
-
that is some nice piece of kit matey :y

I adore the wheels. Very nice car :y
-
Cheers guys,
1 more new picture,. just modified a strutbrace from Germany for left hand drive models as cant get strutbraces for uk omega's, bit of cut and welding on the drivers side bracket to make it clear the brake servo bottle an jobs a goodun! Just got to re paint the bracket red as had to rub it down for welding
Can also see the second air feed pipe from the grill for those that wanted a pic...

Can i just ask what blanking off the egr valve does?
-
Puts the exhaust gases into the inlet basically, so hotter intake temps and coats everything up over time. So blanking it will lower the intake temps and keep plenum an everything clean
-
Sounds like something to look into doing on mine.
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again....
B-E-A-UTIFUL car... Exactly how I want mine to look, super smooth and super clean!
-
really nice car mate :)

Thanks again. Currently in bits fitting new alternator, thermostat, vectra alloy cam covers with new gaskets and spark plugs
And hopefully sourced some uprated engine mounts now as I keep breaking my passenger side, standard ones just seem to weak
Then she's ready for PVS!
-

Lovely car!!! :y :y :y

That's a brilliant result! Nice one.
Do you mind if I ask where you got your discs and pads from? Mine are going to need doing soon, pads especially. Probably going to go for EBC Yellow Stuff but am not sure about discs, can't find any drilled ones straight for the Omega.
-
Cheers, got mine from eBay mate, only cheap ones but do the job.
Here's the link to the mtec ones I got: 120314449824 open eBay and search that number in the search box, £129 for the 4

Nice, Very Nice. Very clean looking motor. :y Love the wheels too.

that is one sweet looking car curious about the correction bolts to let you fit vw stud pattern wheels ?
-
The correction bolts were 5x112 VW Fitment if I remember correctly :y
-
Why did you remove the dual ram?
-
Stunning :y :y :y
-
It's been nearly a year since this thread was looked at, I'm sure I recall him saying he was going to sell it...?
-
It wasn't sold, it was broke in the end last June
There was a link to the thread in another post that has been commented on
-
what happened? :'(
-
I can't believe I missed that?! I'd of bought the most parts off of him too! ::)
-
Just had a quick search and it doesn't look like he broke it via this site :-\
-
I had most of the good bits, LSD, Res box, 3.8fpr, Bose parcel shelf, interior.. I think that was it :y
Wheels, brakes,exhaust,coil overs, vibra technics race mounts flea bay
Plenum, and a few over goodies he still had until about a fortnight ago ;)
-
Well that's cheered me right up! Lol ???
-
you are both right as jay did try to sell it but he wanted way too much for it (but it was a nice car) and he did go on to break it :y
-
omg the stering wheel is in the wrong side :D
looks wery nice. :y
-
This is/was the nicest (IMHO) car on here!
I hope I can get mine somewhere close!!!
What a shame she was broken!
