-
Niiiiiiiiiiice! not seen one with both boot spoilers on it before
-
Thanks, i like it,
It goes back to my childhood when the car i wanted was an XR4i 2 door in red that had the bi-spoiler on the rear,
I did this years ago when i had my elite, it looked nice on that aswell as it was black.
getting stainless steel exhausts done on it in the next few weeks, going to have sports cats fut on and then bypass the middle boxes back to the rear box ;)
-
I like this car alot. looks good. How much was the body kit out of interest?
My car needs a respray after some toe rag keeyed it up. would be nice to get the kit fitted at the same time. would set my 18'' alloys off a treat.
-
Well The front bumper would set you back £1000 new i got it a couple of years ago for £52 as the bloke on ebay didnt know what car it had come off :o
The rear i paid full price for around £400,
The sills are from a Holden Monaro Valvaline GT car that had an accident so got them and chopped about 2"s off them got them for about £50
The headlight brows are about £20 sell them on ebay etc etc,
The rear wing spoilers come in at around £200, got mine brand new with brake light for £73 on ebay
if you want the kit outright you will be paying in the regin of £2000, you just have to keep your eyes peeled for bargains on ebay etc. ;)

Lucky you mate
Doubt my car is worth spending 2k on to be honest but i do like the look of yours mate.

Heres a pic of the sill from a monaro(not vxr/gto) they fitted ok once i had used lots of panal adhesive on them!
-
Mine was only £2000 a year ago only had 53k on the clock, if your passionate about improving your mota you will do it!
Go for it mate :)
-
mines done 90k and id love to spend 2k on it to make it look like yours, but with the list of problems she has with her at the moment i think the money best spent sorting them out
Maybe a job for the future though as i do like the look of yours :y
-
Nice Car Mate! :y
-
What a fantastic looking omega, love the colour, never seen them with 2 spoilers!!
keep up the good work

Thanks for the comments,
I think the omega is a great car to do up if you get it right, i have seen some shocking moded atempts that you just laugh at.
I am on omega number 5, this new vxr better be good as that will be my next saloon in a couple of years :)
-
Nice looking motor, front end looks great :y

8-)SWEET 8-)

great looking car :y
-
Very Nice!!!
Does the Mantzel power box make much difference? Is it just an empty box that bypasses the up and down airpipes for the dual ram thing?
-
Yes its just a box that replaces the up and down pipes, personally i think it does make a big difference to the power, i think it makes the car lots sharper in most gears,
If you now somebody that can fabricate one i would gladly send you the dimensions of the one i have as it is the same size as the original mantzal one!
hoping for my tax return this week so i can get my stainless steel system made, the waiting game is the hardest thing when you want something!!
-
brilliant looking motor, I am new to this, how do I post pictures
:y

Hi,
The Hose's are from www.viper-performance.co.uk, really cheap and have a hose for every occasion!
I bought the resonator from courteney sport back in 2001 and my mate had a copy made in stainless steel that i have in my car now(the original is in alloy and has the mantzal logo cast on the top)
And last but not least is the Cone filter that is one of these cheap £30 type that you can get anywere, i had a pipercross viper on my last one and it was £200, this one does the same job,
There is no noise from the cone filter as the resonator seems to kill the noise so the engine sounds normal!
-
Meant to add, the mantzal power box was about £500 when i bought the original, i sold it on ebay about 31/2 years ago and got about £380 for it but my mate had the one i have now made and never fitted it so i bought it from him for about £200 ;)
-
Nice looking motor, front end looks great :y
Chrome indicator bulbs would look better IMO....
-
Actually got a set of chrome bulbs in my cupboard waiting to go in, thanks for the reminder ;)
-
Anyone know what pressure i should have in my 275/35/18" sportstars on the rear of my MV6? got 265s on at the moment but have worn unevenly, i just want the new tyres to be even !
Any ideas? ;)
-

32psi, Kev on the forum has the same wheels and tyres and he told me 32psi :y
-

No worries mate, I think you know kev he bought his irmscher bodykit from you a few years ago :y
-
Ah yeah i remember him, i got shut of my facelift MV6 3.0 as i am not a fan of the inside of the facelift barge, But the kit i sold kev makes the meega look awesome,
Does he still have his omega and all the trimmings?

NICE LOOKING CAR WILL BE SORTING MINE NEXT NONTH
-
Very nice, I like the mods you have done to the engine bay, however, I have been hesitant in fitting the cone air filters.
-
The cone filters are fine as long as they have the shroud around them like mine/pipercross Viper!
The other type that are open (you can see the foam) are more likely to draw in warm air!
They can sound a bit boy racer like, but with my power resonator the sound is cancelled out and it sounds sweet!! ;)
-
Nice car dude :y :y :y
-
Stunning :y
-
Top looking motors 8-)
-
i reckon it would look better debadged.
-
My preferrence is for facelifted estates, but your car's making me start to change my mind a bit.
Good work fella! that's noice!!
-
if you ever decide to sell those sportstars.. let me know!

Hi All,
Finally Got an exhaust on my mota the other day, ended up with a Jetex system and am pleasantly pleased with the sound of it :)
I still have my double 'D' Irmscher silencer and was wondering if it would fit onto the stainless steel jetex pipes, i always thought it wat made of mild steel but have noticed the black paint peeling off it and it looks like stainless underneath!
Anyone got any ideas if the Irmscher backbox is s/s or not??
cheers.

cracker

wow wow wow
i bought a mv6 to fix and keep standard but after seeing your beast im gonna have to get modding! lol!

Hi mate. You have to isolate your box. Its made with steel and is's mounted after the radiator. That makes the air gettig hot in this box. Warmer air means less oxygene in air. And that mean less power :)
I had my own box not isolated before and that was a disaster. Now i isolated it and its much better.
Remember - the temperature is your enemy.
P.S. Realy nice car!! :y
-
good looking car :y :y
-
Hi All
Thanks for that, i will have to look into a heat shield for the resonator if you think it will help??
been looking at you car, it looks good! ;)
-
hey,
i really like your car, one of the best Omega's i have seen in a long time,
Jamie

Thanks for that mate,
I have now added full leather to the list, so she feels a bit more luxurious now,
I got a leather interior that i have never seen before in an omega, it has really thick leather and the stitches are not the same as any omega, so i think i was lucky and got a special order bit of kit!! :)

I saw an elite on ebay that had been re-leathered with a VERY nice looking dark grey leather, had light stitching, and no piping, very professionally done and looked the korean meatballs

very very very nice,love it 8-) 8-) 8-)

Hi all
I have an MV6 cloth interior (pre facelift) for sale, very cheap, if anyone wants to make me a sensible offer, the fronts are heated and have airbags that are intact, the front seats are not on there frame as i needed the original frame on my car but is a 15min/seat job to swap with your originals!!
-
OH MY GOD,
My 3.0V6 Has let go and one of my heads have blown!! >:(
What a great new years present!
£1000 and the job will be done, :'( :'(
My engine has only done 70.000mls,
why the hell couldnt GM lower the rev limiter so the V6s could handle the stick,
This is the 4th V6 i have had and 3 of them have blown!!!
Been a vaux nut since i was about 4 but am slowly getting p--sed off >:(
Does anyone know if you can get stronger head bolts/gaskets for the V6??
-
Booked in for 21st of jan. :), cant wait to get back in her, both heads skimmed and refitted by two blokes that used to work for lookers and opened up on there own so i think i will be in good hands, just looking forward to some sweet V6 motoring ;)
-
well i for one hope you get it sorted, cos its an absolute stunner of a car!!
i just got me a blue facelift 3.0 3 days ago, got a week off soon to get niggles fixed
-
I personally like standard looking motors, however yous looks Lovely.. nice motor...
