hi,
i thought i would join the forum i like my omegas. Mines a bit of a project at the moment. I used to run it as a daily driver but it was a bit to thirsty so i took it off the road and went a bit nuts on it. stripped it out got some coilovers got a saab for the engine
how it started
and this is how it looks now

QuoteQuoteI can see the reasoning fro your other modifications but why the engine swap?
My thoughts exactly! Especially as it looked like an Elite to start with and now your retro-fitting a Saab 4 pot???
Im guessing it;s a 2.0/2.3 turbo motor as these can be boosted up to give 350 bhp quite easily and bolt straight onto the miggy bellhousing!
that pritty much the reason why i did it easy tuneable up to 500hp on standard internals

Am after a favour if you get the chance. I was looking at the bit I could see for where the seats are bolted to the floor pan. I was after some pics of the frame work of the seats as well if possible.
The reason I ask is that if possible I would like to try and modify my seat to go further back and even lower if possible.
TIA.
i'll get that done for ya in the next couple of days. do you want pics of the bottom of the seats or the floor pan?
