Hello everyone,
Been browsing for a few months now and thought i would sign up, i bought my Omega a few months ago getting lucky with a bargain on ebay - a near mint 2001 facelift elite was bought and turned out near perfect.
This was how i bought it:-
Drove around for a couple of months enjoying it as it was, still suprised at the luck i'd had to be honest. But there was always a little plan for this car - our group of friends alwasys like playing with our cars, weve had many projects over the years.... 400+ bhp Pulsars, Drift 200sx's, big power turbo Vauxhalls etc so the time came we thought we'd see what we could do. So we spent a day down at our workshop....
This was how i drove her to the workshop in the morning:-
I'm not one for spending out big money on parts etc as i have a house and young family to look after and we dont mind getting dirty and experimenting, so £30 later for some little homebrew coilover setup we ended up with a set of coilovers to try and fit basically compromising of vauxhall bits, easy really.
These are what the front coilovers ended up looking like, a perfect direct fit using the omega top mounts too:-
Our first fit ended quite well and looked like this:-
Spend the day on it basicaly getting everything all ok and getting the rears to work aswell, ive retained the self levelling shocks on the back and basically just disregarded the air part of them and just using the oil part of the shock absorber and they infact work perfectly.
This is how the day ended:-
There is some fettling to do, just getting everything adjusted right etc height wise, but its some together very good - everything still works and drives very well considering. So we had our first test drive and ended up at home all tip top.
Any comments are more than welcome.
Thanks.
