Opel Omega wagon / Daily driven project

[Raka_blakk]

4th post... oh well

Giant update

The commodore is sold

i had a new daily a 740 wagon

and now its just the 2 omegas, the White codename "cocaine" and the wagon "Diffa"

The white omega is on its way on the road, got bags for the rear and new rims... GOSH the rims!

just look at them!

Tramont TY2 ACM 8x16 split 3

5x114.3 that were on a Toyota Supra Mk3 and are stunning....







i was going for black lips but then my mate tried to polish the lips and my god.... i can't wait until they are done! i might buy some wider lips for the rear but they are shit expensive :|

Well its been a long time since i've updated this, the thing is that i'm trying to start a buisness, rust repairing and care, since in norway we salt alot when the first snowflake falls so im trying to get support by the state to help me with this.. i've already found a workshop which is cheap enough to pay with a couple of good friends..

The wagon might live on and become a drift project if this goes as planned

The white one will be my dailydriver soon and the commodore might be used as a 2nd car

I'm really hoping and doing my best to make this work!

Thats wrong.
Commodore-C and Rekord-E have the same Body.
Only the Front is Senator-A1

well they almost use the same drivetrain and the underbody is the same just cut out the floor with the IRS mounting and weld it on :P well easier said then done

You need a proper air to fuel ratio, so with a turbo, you would need somebody who knows carbs and firing timing. But if a whole engine is 50euros i wouldnt event bother with that

meh fuck the turbo carbs then :P M20B25 with turbo

Don't kno how legal it's in Norway, but have you considered making coilovers?
Why bmw engine in classic like this?
I would either go for Opel I6 or small block GM.
As for IRS, its simpler to change the whole car for Senator

You can't make your own Coilovers in norway :| which sucks balls....
You see, even though i have a certificate of bodyshop( welding chassis and stuff ) im not allowed to make it because it has to be TUV approved... its stupid, i dont get the point of getting the certificate if you can't use it like that....

The reason i want a bimmer engine in it is because they are kinda cheap around here (i've already bought one for 80 dollar which is Engine+gearbox+wires, just need a new clutch and starter motor) and easy to turbo

I would prefer opel I6 but they are soooo rare and V8's are insane expensive to buy and run here...

and yeah the Senator A is the same body so that would work.... hmmmm



Do you know anything about using a turbo on a engine with a carb?

Thanks dude!


I miss the wagon too...

But the commodore looks good also, just needs to be lower...
Do you still have the corvette rims, if so, put them on the commodore!
If you don't want them on the commo, sell them to me

Well

Lowering is on the list and the corvette rims are gone or else would have put them on ages ago!

Is commie with IRS or live axle?

It's a live axle :| i dont know how hard it would be to put a rear suspension from a omega on it, but i dont have any diffs that can take alot of power....

I'm sending a letter to the norwegian road and safety about a 2.5 bmw engine in the commie, it should be alright just put on some vented discs since its only HP increase/engine swap...

Trying to get E39 adjustable coils for the front and in the rear im using jetta adjustables and front springs from omega should lower it and stiffen it enough, gonna make my own sway bar for the rear, big big big sway bar to do maaaaad skids :P

Oh boy, i love this car so much, use alot of fuel though so a M20B20/B25 swap is near...

I've also found out that E39 adjustable dampers might fit this in the front compared to weight and fitment




bumped in to this and i found a forgotten treasure of a photo... damn i miss it so much

[Raka_blakk]

use VW jetta mk1 coilovers ^^ short adjustable dampers

But you can't use original rims afterwards! they will hit the damper

[Anvarv]

How did u get so good camber in front?

[Raka_blakk]

That is good, very good.

Well if you come across a pedelbox drop me a pm...




Are the pentas 5x112 or 5x120, the comodore has 5x120...

They are 5x120

i might be able to get you a pedalbox! since my mate is scraping a omega with manual!

i'l give you a pm when i have taken it out

[Raka_blakk]

nooo, stahp buying new cars

do good things with that rekord instead




@ orange blue original penta's should be 5x112

Where did u buy that hood bra? I need this!

haha, yeah this is the last one, and my god its the best car i've owned, no seriously....

its 2.5 with a carb and STILL it use less fuel than the toyota and the omega! there have to be something magical with it


The hood bra ? well there is a dealer here in norway that sell them, pretty cheap aswell... i bought mine for 689kr

i could buy one for you and send it to you... but i dont know how much that would cost you :S
