my omega 3.0 v6
« on: 08 October 2010, 01:47:24 »

hi everyone, a few of u will have helped me out so far on the forums, so once again thanks, just thougt ad post a few pics of the car, this is what it looked like when i gave it a quick wash when I first got it:










my girlfriends mum and dad had this car from 6 months old, its done 72,000 miles, she gave it to me to tinker with as she was going to scrap it as the gearbox wasnt working properly and they were told last year it wouldnt pass another mot again.

so far i have replaced

atf fluid

the gearbox selector switch- gearbox now works

the standard amp- all 8 speakers work now

new brakes all round and rear backing plates

have a powerflow cat back exhaust to go on it((as new condition), as exhaust is rotten from after the cats (got it at a price i couldnt refuse) just hope it dont make it too loud as it does away with the middle box.

it is an elite but didnt come with the spoiler so have put one of those on it

oil and coolant change

and i am waiting on a black blank grill for the front which i have ordered.

the only other thing it might need to change are the rear shockers, but probably do away with the self leveling as the self leveling shockers may be too dear.

will be putti ng it on the road in january as thats when my car insurance is due, and if i do  amulticar i can insure my 306 td for £250 fully comp and this for £250 tpft. £500 odds all in for 2 cars fot the year :)

will update with more pics once more doe to the car.
hope you will all agree that this car is far from the scrap yard , and that i couldnt let it get crushed !

What year is it mate?  Why has it got the short plenum and single pipe exhaust normally seen on 2.5 V6s not on 3 Lit V6s?

i wondered why it had only the single pipe also, i can only assume it has been changed at some point and the wrong one was put on it. however ill be changing it from the cat back anyhow. whats a short plenum ? its a 1996 n reg

it was only the mv6's and some late elites that had the longer plenums, unless modified, looks completely normal to me, looks like they put a 2.5 back box on tho at some point, its a good few quid cheaper so probably the motive.  :)

I may be wrong, but only very early 3.0's had the short Plenum.  1996 onwards had the 'proper' one.

Also, forget the Omega, that Cavalier is so reminiscent of one of my past conquests.  Shame it isn't a real Tubby, and a further shame it isn't on the road.  I think I need a tissue.   :'(
