Great reminder and posting

Two things
1. What speed was that car doing (max revs and max speed)?

2. What OOF event was that with the British regs!?

1. Lotus Omega/Carlton, 6000 rpm, 300 km/h (186 mp/h)

2. Omega Owners Meet Newent 01/09/2007

Cheers guys,

Today is a important day for every Omega enthusiast, because 10 years ago, on June 25th 2003, the last ever Omega was
built, and ended an historical era of Vauxhall and Opel cars. To celebrate the last ever Opel/Vauxhall built luxury sedan and estate
I created an Omega/Carlton fan tribute video and want to share it whith you. :)

So sit back and enjoy! ;)

Thank you guy's! :)

I also made a few weeks ago an Video just to see how fast it accelerates to 60mph and in comparison to other 2.0 Ecotec Mig's it's a whole second faster, reaches 60mph in just 12 seconds (2.5 V6 auto needs 11,5 seconds), so I am quite happy with my new reconditioned cylinderhead. :)

Hi, I thought it was time to present me and my dad's Omega's. :)

1st one is mine, it's a 98' (MY98) 2.0l 16V CD-Reflection Estate, has a mileage of about 122k miles (205k km) and so far,
I've had to replace the cylinderhead (Cambelt slipped because of a waterpump-bearing fail), the bootlid (because of rust),
the starterengine, brakes, powersteeringpump, heater bypass valve, exhaust-manifold, a-arm and load's of other little thing's I wasn't ready for.  :D

I also did some little modification's to it, I put on some lower spring's (35mm), buyed 4 nice Brock B8 18" rims on 235/40R18 95Y tyres, fit an Pioneer DEH-140UB stereo with an 900W Magnat amplifier and an 400W Subwoofer, also some other little thing's

The Day I bought it, it looked like this:
(07/2010)




(10/2010)


(2011)
Some nice new Alloy's.  ;)




Both Mig's  :y


Now my dad's one, is a 99' (MY00) 2.5 V6 Elegance Saloon with about 118k miles (198k km) on the clock, bought 2005 with a milage of just 50k miles and so far surprisingly, nothing's horribly failed (unlike the 8v Omega a and 16v Omega b saloons he had before, iclusively my one).




I have to say though, that both car's are pretty "used" and tyred by now, no showroom object's, but we love them cause they are workingclass hero's and so far we had 4 of them (although 1 was what you call an Carlton Mk2), best car's ever made for the daily job! :)

greetz, M.O.

Well, looking at the Catera, this is its official Successor, so its quite an replacement.

Also, the 2.6 and 3.2 engines where straight from the Omega, the 3.6 is the same engine used by Holden (Alloytec), Plus, the floorpan also is developped at Holden.

So it must be a good car in essence.

So what we are saying here is that it really is the Omega's replacement here in the uk, and GM just forgot to tell anyone.

Well no, it is only in US its replacement, you had the Monaro coupe and now the VXR8. ;)

We on the otherhand (ze germans), have no replacement at all for it.

I someday want to do something like that with a Facelift-model:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0hjHHgGkEY

But I would use the BMW M5 E39 5.0l V8, 400bhp, I maybe tune it and of course unlock it so it can reach about 200mph, just like the legendary Lotus.

Ok this may sound mad and quite unserious, but the prices for the M5 will drop in Germany in not so much future, before they rise up again, so I may get a crashed one, with working engine for just a couple of thousand €'s

This really would be my dream Omega, as it should have excisted, but never did. I want to make it an reall Luxury Oneoff supersportsaloon, so yes I will make it look good aswell, and not put some 22" Blingbling rims on it, I thought about something like this:
 
(I took this from Kev's Signature)

Simply an full Cecotto Package, with 19" Insignia Rims, on the Interior I plan to put Vectra VXR/OPC Sportseats, and its Entertainmentsystem/DVD Player, Heated Leatherseats and many more Modern features!  8-)

Well its just a dream of me, but I had a bit of a lag of money, to do that, especially because I bought a House instead, with no garage yet, but given time and patience, I will do! :)

Thank you guys! :)

I alsways wanted an V8 Omega, not because it has one, because its special. ;)

btw, no-one did ever mixed a Monaro with an Omega or did anyone of you? (just asking. 8-) )

greetz,

IIRC, the headlights were Holden Commodore units.
I know a guy in the old VXSCC bought a pair for his Omega some time ago and discovered the Holden light units were quite a bit bigger than the Omega units.

Wrong, that are Opel-Units, and quite special ones, it was Opel's first attempt of Adaptive-Headlights, I saw this on TV a few years ago.

And so does it work, that in the Red box:

..is a electric movable mirror which bend the light of the lamp into the corners, sadly that version of an adaptive headlamp was forbidden, because it streams the light directly into the upcoming traffic. ;)

Sorry for my amateur skills in english, greetz.
