Opel Omega wagon / Daily driven project

[forkintheforest]

I like this, I had the chance to buy a really cheap Opel. But, then I realised import costs along with shipping would make it not such a cheap car. Lol.

I have a question, would the Senator lights fit without a complete facelift, I like the way they look as opposed to stock. Just my 0.02

Damn, that looks nice with the salat shooters!

Put out some pics of the new rims you tried then

[Raka_blakk]

Thanks but im trading the mim rims for some other rims hehe

it is Raceland adjustable from MK2 Jetta and golf.

i think i could adjust the coilovers so low that the frame hits the ground, its a couple of cm from the ground now and i can go much lower :S

BTW New bumpers!
i might trade my car for another omega, its done 130.000km about and its a original A1 which is the one i want

What out omega friend here above says! Keep it omega wheels look nice. How much drop did you establish?

[OrangeBlue]

Dude that looks super, even with the 15s!!!

What coils did you buy, KW?

I'd keep the omega front, the senator front looks to massive imo.

[Raka_blakk]

Well the coilovers is here! and of course i mounted them without adjusting them for fun!



The salad shooters will be polised by a good friend of mine which knows what he is doing, AND i need new tires for them, since the 195 45 werent that great....

[Raka_blakk]

i am wondering if i should go back to the Omenator look.. with a grill and painted..

With the 30mm adapters they'll poke out ~44mm more then the original 15"...
Depending on the fender work, 44mm more poke will be challenging,
the rear should be good.
With a 20mm up front, some camber you should have perfect fitment.

Oh yeah the fenders is already poking out

And on eyesight, the Salad shooters looks perfect with 30mm, but of course there will be negative camber in front aswell




got the new tires today, they where dirt cheap so 2 of them are good and 2 is OK..

Now the wheels are going straight, had to replace some steering arms then we used a wheel alignment tool at my mates work....

[OrangeBlue]

the tires didnt fit at ALL in the rear, rubbing so bad so i dont know if it needs a spacer, im afraid the wheelbearings might not live that long then

Well the original is 33, and with 30mm adapters... i dont know hehe but the saladshooters are 32

Imagine how much **** i got for my BMW rims.., just ignore it, it's your car not theirs...

Looks promising.
The front seems to be on point with the 195/45, the rear needs a bigger spacer, or you
by two 9,5"...

What's you offsets after adapters?

well all of them are 8.5 soo 195 45 will do for now, i got 4 tires for 500kr so yeah...

i think it will be perfect, the rear wheelarch is pushing the 255 50 tires in so its undriveable at the moment

The car is going to the wheel alignment tomorrow and the new tires should be here on monday

i have got alot of **** from a opel group on facebook... but im trying to ignore them
