2001 Omega 3.0 MV6 Manual (Ex Police)

Cheers.

Wheels are designed for a vectra C although ment to be the same offset etc. fronts are perfect but could ideally do with 15mm rear spacers for it to be spot on, although the 10mm will do for now



Well ive been busy today,.. Wired in the Unichip and also fitted a resonator box. Both made a huge difference.

Resonator box is a strange one, it is really impressive top end and high rpm. but does feel like its lost a small amount of torque low down or smoothed the torque curve out. Would like to get it on the rollers with and without the resonator box just to see but im very happy either way and will see how i get on with it.

Heres a picture of the engine bay as promised, Although its still is abit of a work in progress under there at the minute. Want to move the EGR valve to under the battery tray, New blue hoses for the resonator as the current ones were badly trimmed by previous owner. Also polish a few things up like strut tops, TB etc

Again mate.... spot on with the mods, the blue hoses look very good.... ok being honest the whole car looks good and has that street sleeper appearence which gets my vote

Love the look of your motor mate it looks awesome dude love it and the rims look great too.

[sotmh]

nice, but is paint used for plenum heat resistant.  I would also change expansion tank ,which I'm sure you will as its a work in progress. Love to see end result

[X3 OXE]

Yep tis heat resistant and been on there ages. 

Cheers

Absolutely fantastic car mate!! I'd 2nd the notion of changing the coolant header tank.  I cahnged mine recently and the difference is staggering... and only 30 quid on TC!! 

[X3 OXE]

Cheers mate.

When you say change the coolent header tank, What do you mean? Change it for a new original one?

[Danny]

yeh for a new one, i was gonna say the same thing, you'll see a massive difference!!

I want a new header tank too!

[X3 OXE]

Cool! 30quid through trade club, Wish i thought of that at the time. The 2.5TD one on there i brought for £20 second hand  :-/


Think i will pop into vauxhall and get one ordered, cheers guys

[pauls]

Great looking car

[Del Boy]

Easily the best looking Omega I've seen IMHO. Credit to you

[albitz]

I do like that. A new coolant tank would set the engine bay off nicely.

Oops, just notice the  other posts on the same subject.

[ted_one]

Yep you've beaten me to it! I'm in the planning stages of doing a similar project with an ex Met 3.0 mv6,mechanics are done courtesy of DLK,bodywork is'nt to shabby but a full respray is planned for next year with the prep to be done over this summer,wheels not to sure may be Dotz but have been toying with having the original wheels black chromed,then it's just a matter of finding two good leather interiors as I've got a 3.2 to finish of as well.Seeing that we both live in the same town then may be we might cross paths as I would love to get a closer look at your stunning car

[X3 OXE]

Cheers

Sounds good, Would like a full respray myself probably next year.

Im only in Winnersh, Sure we will come across each other at some point or maybe sort a little meet

I keep seeing a omega estate with a private plate. This isnt you is it? Also a nice facelift silver mv6 every now and again.

Mine is coming off the road at the end of the month now to start fitting LPG. cant deal with the fuel bill's anymore  :-/

[ted_one]

I do'nt get to go through Winnersh that often except late at night when they close the A329M for roadworks and you get to go all the way round the Triangle to get back onto the road you've just come down you may well have seen Chris Gixer knocking around though because he's not so far from you.

[X3 OXE]

Yeah A329M can be a bugger when they close it.

Im only ever in my omega on weekends as have a company van through the week and work out of the area. Seems to be loads of us around here with omega's though, my brother, dad and 4 of my mates own omega's, Always having little meets locally 8-)
