Post by: amigov6 on 03 December 2007, 23:16:23: :)Best thing i ever did for my Mig was buy it!!!!!! It gets treated liked a baby. No fluids or filters are on/in long enough to get dirty, cambelt kit, exhaust, obsessive valeting, leather treatment. Front discs/pads soon, i even paid £12 for bosch wiper blades. I even polish the shuts, can't help it!
Best of all a Timbuk sticker front & rear & a MASSIVE taxdisc holder!!!!!!!!!!!!
All in all a totally cherished Mig flying OOF colours with pride. 8-) 8-) 8-) [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

I can't really comment about the gearbox - I STILL need to pay Jaime as it needs an oil change as it is clonky

Hmm.. clonky is not good.... is it clonky AFTER the upgrade?

I hope you don't find bits of a thrust washer in the sump..

While auto's are nice, I'm quietly pleased mine is a manual!!

Not that clonky - just feels not in best condition - no slipping, just needs some TLC

Post by: mantahatch on 04 December 2007, 07:56:50: Best bits so far, Irmscher front grill and subtle wing type rear spoiler.
No other mods at the mo, but would like heated rear seats for the kids for after football.
Also got a cherished number plate coming in the next few months once the donor car has an MOT.

lpg for those who get excited about fart juice?

autobox upgrade, suspension ,chip !

looking at fuel prices fart juice is also good idea ..But I hate the idea of drilling holes in Omega..

Post by: Jimbob on 04 December 2007, 08:19:08: I've said theboy's v9 upgrade, but was thestealers v9 upgrade in my case :(
closely seconded by a ice upgrade.
Nothing silly, just a nice pioneer unit with bluetooth, all in the carbon fibre colours of the mv6.
Looks and sounds much better, and all links in to steering controls and MID

Post by: brett1408 on 08 December 2007, 11:19:10: best bit i've done so far, it's got to be the re-map even though my fuel consumption is now beyond a joke, oh and my best mates sister filmed me doing donuts in it on her camera phone and up loaded it onto her bebo page, so its a star omega now!!!! 8-) ;D

Post by: theolodian on 08 December 2007, 12:31:04: Scented pine tree. :P

Haven't seen much reason to upgrade, I just keep it running - well mostly. ::)

I will break the rules slightly and say that for the 3 minutes it took, Mark's DTM adjusting my steering box made as much difference as anything else.
