General Car Chat / Re: 3.2 elite on the bay

« on: 17 May 2015, 13:01:02 »

I travelled 450+ miles round trip in the past to buy a two grand car and have no problem doing that again. The owner isn't available until Tuesday which is the problem. By next weekend it's gone.

I just spoke to the owner. He said the cambelt was done in 2013, no rust, 3 or 4 previous owners (one of them a chav as someone already mentioned) and everything works. He said cam cover gaskets aren't leaking either. He said he would have asked for £2,000 if it had the original wheels and radio.

Are you interested in this one joff? I was thinking of going to see it today but its 70 miles away. Is there anyone local that can view it?

Yes but £600! I had to be sure. You can get a full system for less! 

What so special about this Irmscher stuff?

Problem with irmscher backbox is if not used with irmscher bumper then tailpipes stick out too far! Otherwise I do like the double D box. What's the retail and best place to get one?

Oh, and absolutely ALL of the stainless hand made ones have clamps cut off the cats. So if you want to go back to a normal system, you can't, without fitting new cats. A truly shocking carry on IMO. A way of tieing customers in, and means you can't sell it as the likelyhood of the cuts being in the right place are about a million to one.

I may be wrong but it doesn't look like the clamps were cut off this one and it is a two pipe system. http://oldsite.omegaowners.com//forum/YaBB.pl?num=1301696512

Would I have one? Probably not. But then I don't like the look of short Eternal/ETS exhaust tips and trims look chavvy. Is there a happy medium?

Its Jetex BTW and the price is £530.     If the cost was reasonable, the massive 80mm twin tailpipes would still put me off from buying one.

Longlife exhausts can replicate the OE system (with two centre sections) and the cost is £300-£350, a few members have them. Mr Hagon (an ex member now) said the noise, whilst louder than twin wall GM (no surprise there) it was tolerable.

My £340 Omega was very reliable. In my year of ownership it needed one service, cam covers and brakes.

Sold it for £350 with two weeks left on the MOT

ETS from ebay vs Stainless steel for the life of the car

Current crop of GM system is not as good as the original twin walled clamshell as you already know however it's still better than a lot of pattern exhausts. But for the money it's not worth shyte and I'd be looking at stainless steel personally

Aaeye!

Look forward to hearing/reading your thoughts. Would come in useful when I'm back in an Omega!
