as per normal it has problems that i will get through an fix
so far had split in oil filler cap , now sorted
fitted after-market head unit m then speakers didn't work , have now sorted this with new wiring to the standard boss amp ,
rear blind doesn't , motor dead , relay works . can you still buy this or is it a scrap yard job an hope i find one that works .

this is the reason iv gone an bought an omega , fell in the love with it . but from many cars ive had in the past its easier to build a car than deal with someone else's modded car ,

The Omega in my imho is a much underated car and it even has its 'knockers' on this forum....but that's their problem It lends itself to modifications from  mild to wild and that's what I like about the car and it's really only about how far your personal finances will permit you to go down that route.So enjoy the car and ignore the negative comments (if any) and by the way welcome to the forum.......enjoy

nice motor  ...im on my fourth omega and love the car....very underated..kids call mine the granpa car....till you leave silly boys standing at the lights lol....

Say no more......the young fellas that work for my boy always pay me compliments about my cars especially as two of them are ex cop cars,the thing with the bigger engined Omegas is that they make great 'street sleepers'and it gives me a buzz when it comes to a drag race from the lights with some drivers who think they're driving something that can do the job and quite frankly it turns out usually to be a turd Think I must be  the oldest boy racer in town
