No sadly it doesnt, just the normal seats. Just put in 40psi all round and its made the world of difference to the handling,plus a new airfilter,again with massive improvements on performance. I see your near you may see me around in mold.

40 PSI seems a bit high! Depends on the tyres but I find somewhere around 36 usually gives a nice balance of tyre stiffness and grip (contact patch size).

Cheers, but I think I'd get some strange looks turning up to an Omega meet in a BMW :D Besides it's an ideal opportunity for some troubleshooting help  ;)

Yes i alway thaught it was high,but ive owned 2 cars now were the manufacture quote high pressures. ........A Integra type-r (40psi all round)and the xsara vts(39psi all round).All high pressures.......It does feel good,more sprightly and light.Its certainly improved my handling by about 40%.

Interesting... it probably does improve the feel and handling, at least on good surfaces, but ultimately may also reduce grip as the profile of the contact patch is changed. The science of getting the best compromises with tyres is mega complex, so I guess what feels subjectively best for you is the pressure to go with. Just keep an eye on the wear pattern, assuming your geometry is well set up it can tell you a lot about the effect of your pressure on the contact patch, and also to an extent your driving style  :D

Most of all though, have fun! I think in the manual 3.0 MV6 we share the most satisfying model, in terms of driving dynamics, of the Omega range (with the possible exception of the uber-rare manual 3.2 MV6) :y

Lovely MV6 you have there mate.

Does it have leather?

No sadly it doesnt, just the normal seats. Just put in 40psi all round and its made the world of difference to the handling,plus a new airfilter,again with massive improvements on performance. I see your near you may see me around in mold.

Is that right????  I know mine are only 16's but sit at 30psi - 36 under full load.

The normal seats are still nice though mate.

I didn't notice that you're from Mold. I live in Connah's Quay, although I spend most my time in Ellesmere Port at my girlfriends house.

You probably wouldn't notice me, I'm only in a bog standard Elite  ;D
