[astra_sri_andy]

Nice cars the 2.6's...quite rare

[Tom Williams]

Must be a Y reg or 51 reg or later 2001 model to be the 2.6 model.

Its an R reg ... owner told me its a 2.6v6 , maybe its just a 2.5 v6 then

plans ... supertourer or gsi bumpers , put the 19''s from the omega on , or thinking of getting VXR 19''s in white and putting them on

Had a lot of mods done to it aswell
De cat pipe
Gsi roll bars
Revised steering rack
Regal Lightened flywheel
mintex brakes
Toad full closure alarm
F23 Gearbox but not fitted.... is it worth fitting???

picking it up on wednesday and will get some better pics then





Will Be At pv as im now selling the omega ...
Also whats a fpr???

[Tom Williams]

Thats the 2.5, you can tell as it has cable throttle, whereas 2.6 has fly by wire throttle.

The car is a prefacelift, with facelift 2.6/2.2dti front bumper ad facelift rear bumper and side skirts.

I think the car would have an F23 or F25 as standard, probably best to stick with whats in it.

An FPR = fuel pressure regulator - uping the fuel pressure helps get rid of a few flat spots on the v6 map.

Good choice, white wheels would look good if they are done proper

[Johnny A]

[Johnny A]

Preface lift cars have two peice headlights and indicators and the boot lid and rear lights are different.

On facelift cars they have one peice front lights and on the boot there is an extra kink all the way along thay ties in with lines on different rear ligths.

[omegamanv6]

got the problem sorted now , was the bottom power steering pipe had split , having it replaced tommorow

[omegamanv6]

put the 19s on today.. very tight fit..

[BIG Kev]

those wheels look mint on it m8... what have you done with the old alloys m8, they were the same as what i had on my old vecy... are they for sale ? if so can ya up some pics plz m8

[omegamanv6]

ive put them on the omega... looks very silly lol even the 19s looked small on them

tbh there crap... not the wheels just the way the previous owner treated them... the centre caps have had about a litre of glue just to glue them on and theres glue all over the wheels...

[omegamanv6]

had a test run tonight with the 19s on.. rub rub rub round every corner with nothing in the boot and no passengers , at pv i will have a boot full of cleaning products etc and 2 passengers... hmmm ... thinking of putting some spring adjusters on and taking them off when i get here.... anyone got any ideas??

cheers.. tom

Find areas of rubbing, attack with grinder

[omegamanv6]

if i was to do that wouldnt it be covered in rust months later??

[Paul]

Not if you then treat it.
Why not stick the old wheels on?

[Tom Williams]

What size tyres do you have on the wheels, if they are omega size 235 series then maybe you need 215 or 225?;

[omegamanv6]

yeah i have 235 , dont have enough money for new tyres atm ... might just sell the wheels and get 19'' snowflakes not sure yet

[omegamanv6]

now selling this... i miss the omega wayyyy too much im looking for a black 3.2 mv6 saloon
