Omega General Help / Re: Brake Bleading question?

« on: 05 January 2011, 11:49:20 »

When the pedal is pumped a few times and then held down it builds up a bit of pressure.  Loosening the nipple releaces the pressure forcing the air and some fluid out.  Even though the pedals pressed its at the end of its travel so the pressure is relieved.  Tighten the nipple and repeat the process till theres no air left coming out.

If you want to go to Courtenay be prepared to lube up and bend over.

There's a guy over on VVOC trying to get a group buy organised for vec v6 tubulars.  You could ask him about the possibility of getting an omega one off the ground.  Would imagine the jigs etc will be easier for an omega set-up.

Omega General Help / Re: Omega/ Saab v6 turbo conversion?

« on: 24 December 2010, 12:08:19 »

It's been discussed before.

Whats the omega internals like compared to the saab's?

...so long story short, stick a v8 in it instead. There, job done! 

What from?  As in is there a uk unit available or is it a chevy one from US or something?

Any link to previous discussions?

That part number states that it is without a/c, doesn't matter though as they are all the same. I've got one here if you need one? 

Condition, price?

They are out of stock for the forseeable future as of 4 days ago

Bleedy typical.

Starting to sound expensive 

Yes and they are specific springs only available from GM or KYB. Standard springs or Ebay specials aren't the same.

Are they available on TC?

Ah...ok.  Must be faulty then, further investigation required.  Is it common for these to fail?

Does the saloon have self leveling or is it only the estate?  My old boys saloon(98 elite) sits helluva low at the back.  If not, is it possible/worth it to retrofit?

Cheers.

Did they have the part in stock?...if its a part they dont hold/had to order in may be why they wont accept it back.  Had the same with a thermostat/housing when i ordered one for my vec...had to pay upfront aswell.
