Title: Shiney upgrade for a 2 ltr
Post by: hotel21 on 14 December 2006, 12:02:54
OK.  I know e-bay links should go in the correct place but I thought that the following e-bay item would reach a better, more appreciative, audience in this wee bit.

Don't all go rushing at once, theres only the one, remember.

nice new shiney thing (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-OMEGA-Type-B-Duplex-backsilencer_W0QQitemZ190062522710QQihZ009QQcategoryZ38786QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

enjoy.....

Don't like that sorry!

That back passenger box is HUGE!!! you can see the back box on mine, would't want that fridge bolted to the underneath of my car.

Also if you have a 2.0 why on earth would u want that?? Is not exactly a sporty car with the 4 pot under the bonnet.

Not my choice either !!    ;D   :o

Link was purely for amusement value, to be fair.  Don't think it is aimed at the same market as frequents OOF.    :-X

Think thats aimed at a very 'special' market!

I would't even put that on a 3.2 if it had it, think those things belong on Saxo's  ;)

I'm seriously tempted.  I do feel us 2.0l owners are a bit overlooked.  I reckon I could get another 2bhp from this.

Large bore tail pipes just wouldn't look right on a Meega :-?

But the aerodynamic drag would knock 5bhp off again.  :'(

The big silver bit on the top left is for the gas bottle to drive the quadruple afterburners.....    :)

I would settle for the car that these are nailed to, though....

I saw this and my first thoughts were its something different but then thought it wouldn't look right and there wouldn't be any real gains to it.

Still someone will have it I dare say.

Hmmm......not so sure, the Omega's a big car and they would look a damn sight better on an Omega than a Saxo or Nova, but they're not for me though.  ::)

Tunnie some people may not be bothered about the gains but more into making there car look more individual thats possibly the reason why people would have one fitted.

I too am with you on the whole fridge idea but others may think different.

Just my Tuppence worth :y
