Took my facelift for a run today, after the breathers had been cleaned.
All i can say is wow! what a change.... its much much quicker off the line in first, the engine feels a lot less "stuffy"
Also feel loads more of power from 3.5k revs onwards, its really noticable in 3rd pulling hard after 3.5 new surges in power i never knew the engine could do!
Vast vast improvement in performance :)
Went over to visit Omegatoy in ardly, really friendly guy really knows his stuff. Fitted cruise on his '95 GLS TD Estate... worked straight away perfectly, did not need to be enabled :) He was chuffed! Had the pleasure of driving it, damn that thing shifts!! He's had it chipped to 200bhp :o - Also has a clutch from a 3.0 senator..!! - It is so so fast off the line in first.
Also interested to find out he made that Omega GLS Saloon with the full running gear of the Lotus Carlton....DAMN!!! wish i new he was so near, i would have been banging on his door shouting "give me a go, give me a go" ;D
