Omega General Help / Re: Polybushing

« on: 24 September 2017, 10:12:05 »

I had my Strongflex rear bushes fitted yesterday because the originals were fubar. I already had the Powerflex front ones and with both front and rear fitted I must say it's a huge difference! I had a long drive back home from my mechanic's place and it was a lot better than the drive there I must say. My mechanic also has had poly's front & rear for three years and has never had any issues with them. And he drives a lot faster than I ever do, ergo harder braking....
I'll try and get some pics up later.

General Car Chat / Re: Dash cam recomendations

I've got the G5WA dual dashcam and must say I'm very pleased with it. Has already helped in two different collisions on the motorway (front & rear) proving I was not at fault. Both cam's are 170 degree view angle and full hd. When watching the footage on the computer the picture and sound quality are great! Easy to install and can take quite a large micro sd card.

Set up for the time being. nice sound!

Thinking of double tailpipes left and right, seen some nice ones on the bay.

In the meantime I'm busy with the next update......Getting full electric black leather, doorcards and parcelshelf with sunblind tomorrow. Already stripped the inside and swapped over the black interior trims, carpets and seatbelts from my black scrapper. Must say I'm a tad nervous about the driver's seat wire hack. Not so good with electrics....
This was yesterday, it's all black now. Parcel shelf came out surprisingly easy. Just the trims left to clean.

More to follow.....

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Heated seats

« on: 13 November 2016, 13:40:35 »

Hi guys!

Quick question for the brainiacs:
What are the cable plugs for in the foto below? I'm busy looking for leather heated seats and I was looking at the cables that are already in my car. The yellow block is on the passenger side but this is missing on the driver's side seat. Is it by any chance for heated seats or not? And why is it only on the one side??? BTW this is a lhd car!

Thanks in advance!!!

It's a TA Technix 2,5 inch full stainless steel catback from eBay Germany.
I got it for less than the retail price because you can put in an offer (Preisvorschlag senden), they counter offer and so on....paid €275,- in the end.
The fitment is known to be perfect with a subtle but nice v6 rumble. They also do not rust at all! Unlike FMS crap.
I'm having it rewelded to a dual exhaust also full stainless.

Hi Guys!

Finally it has arrived!

The transport company had lost it for two weeks but it finally came in today.
I'm having it altered to a dual exhaust next weekend. Can't wait!

Thanks guys!

I know there are many people over here who block off their egr, I just never knew why. So shouldn´t be a problem with MOT.

Thanks for all the comments guys!
How would removing the egr affect the engine? I´ll be needing a belt change in the near future so maybe I could get some different cams dropped in then...
Don´t know what they cost over here though.

Hi folks!

It´s great having a flippable licenceplate holder but flipping upwards is just shite when you´re trying to attach the lpg nozzle. Add to that, you have to hold the damn thing open.....Noooo that´s not how we roll

So today we had a little tinkering about and ended up with this....

Went from....

To this

That´s the way to do it!

Me hopeth you liketh.....

Why would the induction kit cost power? it´s all cold air going in. Don´t know about 3.0 cams, what would that help? Would be better to drop in a 3.0 me thinks...

Thnx all for the comments.

Hi folks,

Had this one since january and decided to put up some pics. It´s a ´99 facelift 2.5 and had done 105k km´s or 65k miles! I´ve already altered a few things like B4 / Eibach combo, Executive wheels, debadged, Led lighting, different air-intake and last week the biggest update: LPG!

A full tank for €16,- instead of normally paying €80,-!
Nuff said, have a wee peek...

As bought back in january.
