430bhp Omega anyone ?

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Looks quite nice I think. And probably a fair price for what it is ? Located in Norn Irn. Where else would it be located ?

I wonder what Aviva would think of that one. "Vauxhall omega you say, sir. Any modifications from standard?" 

[Varche]

And are the brakes  uprated too?

Just how would you manage to insure it on a serious note? Maybe it is easier and cheaper than I imagine.

"Not really, no. Its just a 4 cylinder Omega".

there are several specialist insurers who would consider such a car to be mild!

Bah... It's only got half an engine...

Clearly the price reflects this

Interesting they chose a Saab engine to get the job done. Judging by some of the cars over on Uksaabs, 430bhp isn't overly close to the limit of that lump.

A member in hoof'land is looking/has/in-progress doing the same,.

[Doctor Gollum]

Still only half a job

As our American cousins say... There ain't no replacement for displacement

Yes, you are correct... but shoehorning an ls1 or ls2 isn't. Worth while, Saab turbo is straight swap and more common in euroland than ls1 v8. Also adding extra cooling for the saab is easier than ls1. Yes I know some have put v8 in, most have cooling troubles, which is 1 reason GM scuttled the v8 omega.

Then they done it wrong...

Fitting a four pot turbo is fine as a budget alternative, but it simply isn't in the same league

That's not to say that I don't like the idea of a four pot turbo sleeper, but having driven the alternative, I know which I would rather have on the drive

Yep, me too, on both counts.

Nice isn't it?

Certainly put a smile on my face. I think it was the soundtrack. Oh, and the effortless power, and the great manual box. Mostly the soundtrack.
