Opel Senator 2.3TD project (picture heavy)

[OrangeBlue]

That's a f**cking huge batterie...

What's the reason.., a huge sound system or to make
sure the 2.3D tank engine starts proper in the cold?

[Modlendingen]

The Opel Diesels is equipped with 2 batteries in the front, because it's so hard to crank I belive. I'm not planning on a sound system at all, the sthraight pipe is all I need :P The reason I want to put it in the trunk, is that I can then use the space for radiator and intercooler, and the piping

Borbet 8,5x16


What do you think, will it suit the old Opel well?

[OrangeBlue]

Both look nice...

The borbets shoud suit well but the throwing stars, would look nice too.

You should test fit them and see how the look like on the car.


Are you sure these are Borbets, they look more like Remotecs...

[Modlendingen]

A buddy of my on the norwegian Opel Motorsport Club forum test fitted some 9x17 on the front of his Monza, looks very nice!




About the Borbet, the seller says it is Borbet, I'm not sure myself

[Modlendingen]

Think I'ts gonna be Borbet on it now Just don't know if i should paint them or not? The paint is crap the seller said, so maybe I should restore them But what color should I take? White? Don't like black wheels on white cars, so that is not a option. Silver or grey maybe?

[Modlendingen]

It's friday, and here is some pics. Lowered the front about 1-2 cm with spring clamps, so it's not so tall in the front






The sun is back

[Modlendingen]

No smoke, no poke???











Cant wait to get the summer rims on, it's 2. april, and it's still snowing...

[Modlendingen]

Long time, no see!

The summer is here finally, and here is some pictures at least Have'nt done anything with my cars actually :P Just removed the front bumper on the Vectra, and fitted summer tires on the Senator and Passat












Plan for the Vectra, is to get Ford Escort/Sierra RS 4x4 Cosworth drivetrain, and turn the engine the right way Make it a bit more playable with and driftable But no rush

[Modlendingen]

Long time no see

Working on the Vectra 4x4 Turbo now, planning to get the licence plates back, so I can start using it again Can't wait, it has been unregistered for over a year now!

Did also get lucky, and got some Azev A's for the Vectra 8,5x18 to the front, and 10x18 to the rear Originally the wheels was on a Opel Omega B, but I think they fit the Vectra well

Here's some pics!























Need to lower it a bit to the back, but they fit well Need to stretch the wheel arches a bit, but no stress

[Tanel]

need to stretch the tires too.

Dusty Ascona C 1.8GT staying in the barn, with 7x15 RH Cup rims Waiting for some love and attention









Also had these Remotec 8x16ET18 rims laying in a cointainer without tires Found some 205/50R16 and 225/55R16 and put them on I think it looks cool, should have been 205/50R16 all around though And yeah, this fall, when i move soutbound again, I will put on some BMW E36 lowering springs

Omega 2.5V6

Needed a new dailycar, as I'm got a new job, and now has to drive 30 minutes to work, and the heater in the Senator is'nt as it was

Got the hand on a 96 Opel Omega B 2.5V6 automatic, with lot's of extras, AC, electric seats, electric windows all over, cruisecontrol and more Got it real cheap to, just need a MOT to get the lisenceplates back Great car that runs well, and purrs like a kitten on idle, and roar like a bear when you floor it














Needed the Vectra turbo rims to the Omega before the MOT, as the 18 inch Zito's had nothing left on the rearwheels, so then the Vectra got the Azev A's on Love it! Need to roll the fenders though





And at last, a pics of my brothers 76 Opel Rekord D caravan with a 2.2DTI engine and gearbox from a 2001 Omega B Cool car, that runs well, just need some attention
