Can't sort out the problem with these stupid bloody electrics on the project car. Fed up of working on cars with such crap electrics, fed up about going on about the same thing, left with nothing left to try, giving up.
So I wanna go back to my original plan, of doing something crazy.
I've researched with VOSA, and if I fit an engine that's pre-1992, I won't have to meet strict emissions criteria if I put it in a later car.
Question: What huge (or big) Vx carb/dizzy engines are out there that would fit onto the omega engine mounts, and mate with the Ar25/35 gearbox? A straight 6 would be cool!!
What electrics does the Auto gearbox in the omega need to run, what does it rely on from the engine ECU, and would it function in any way with a mechanical (rather than electrical) engine in the car?
It must NOT be a fuel injected engine (or easily converted for a carb) and must have a dizzy/coil ignition arrangement.
I really don't know what's out there.
I'm only going to scrap this car now I can't get it going, so we want to have a laugh and do something daft with it!
Not sure if it's even possible, depending on what's out there.
