Now if he had asked which is the quickest 2.6, the answer would have beena lot more cut and dried.

[Darth Loo-knee]

i would love to have the 3.2 mv6, but i dont like getting raped at the petrol station 

Oh, I have to say I rather enjoy it

i would love to have the 3.2 mv6, but i dont like getting raped at the petrol station 

Unfortunately with the ludicrous price of fuel liquid gold today, a very good point!
Mind you, I get apprx. 23mpg with mixed driving and close to 30mpg on a good run, but still crippling! Such a shame with all those horses and only running them at a mere canter most of the time.

LPG Bob, you know it makes sense 

Trouble is Tunnie, I don't know how much longer I'll keep it and I'm loathe to spend between 1 to 2 grand (or whatever the cost is these days) for the conversion. If I'd known how much the cost of fuel was going to rise, realistically I should have done it when I first got it.

Wish I had done mine sooner, but glad i did it DIY with OOF help. I paid costs pack and well into profit, but have made more.

Convert yours, it could be as low as £600 for the kit

A lot depends on how much mileage you do for it to be worth converting to gas, also if you can do without the space in the boot. Someone who needs the boot space for say children's things etc may struggle as your boot to me becomes more like a smaller cars, then is it not worth buying a smaller car anyway??

Ah yes.......I knew there was another reason I never had it done, I can't afford to lose the load space to make way for the fuel tank. It gets loaded to the gunnels with disco equipment most weekends.

With an Estate, got both of both worlds, can pop a doughnut tank in spare wheel, but does give limited range. Especially with V6 economy....

I only considered conversion when my mileage sky rocketed, but if you half your fuel bill, it might make it more tempting to keep Bob

MIKE!!!!!!!

[Webby the Bear]

if you went to my local petrol station you would get raped at the pump and then literally raped round the corner.... and prob sold as a male prostitute afterwards.

aaaaaaanyhoooo, what mpg do you get from your calibra.

have no fear these are relatively quick cars. shove it in sports mode 

i get 25mpg on urban runs and about 35mpg on a long haul

[Webby the Bear]

and whats the 0-60 on that mate?

[mr carl]

and whats the 0-60 on that mate?

just under 8 i would say with the work i hav done to it, i think in the book it says 8.



can the omega be lowered -40mm without arch work?...doing a bit of reading here
http://www.torquecars.com/vauxhall/omega-tuning.php

and i am a little worried, i would like to lower it -40 if i can..

[Elite Pete]

Tunnie, take one fat bloke and put him in a light car with a little engine (MX5) then take a heavy car with a light bloke (mike dundee) there was a fat bloke in a heavy car as well (sorry Jaime and Paul and have a race, out come the lighter car wins

[Webby the Bear]

well my omega on paper does 9.5 (i'm sure someone will correct me if im wrong - 2.5v6 cd) so i doubt y'all notice any difference my son

however 70-100 youll beat most things on tut motorway. she flies

my omega makes a great tune too especially in sports mode

[mr carl]

isnt manual a second faster? i can live with .5 of a second, hell i can live with a second.

my problem is i have bought other cars and i nd up getting rid of them because i can feel the sluggishness of them and just end up driving my calibra again.

so i thought i would get something stylish (omega) but it has got to be around the same 0-60 otherwise i will just get frustrated and bored 

do you guys get much trouble driving in the snow?

[Mysteryman]

If you are genuinely interested in speed, WTF are you doing with an omega?
