rear camber, yes, i have noticed that the rear tyres are wearing more on the inside but ill just get the swapped over to wear them more evenly.

It's possible that the worn rear tyres may have been on the front and were swapped to the back.

Car looks in excellent condition in the photo  

na, i doubt they were. Michelin Primaceys are WAY too expensive to have on the rear lol. but i hear your point!

@ christian - 40mm Spax springs and Blistein Shocks (Police Spec)

[Andyb]

i like that a lot
real nice car  

[BettyBlu]

Nice, a far superior but similar test to what I was banging on about a few weeks ago and then forgot to follow up!

Great results from standard ECU! I have the dastek unichip fitted I'm just trying to scan the graphs. Kind of feel a bit robbed now looking at the quality of your print outs!

See what I mean:

Unichip Off: 213BHP


Unichip On: 236BHP


Now, what would she get with similar mods to yours? I've been advised not to de-cat unless purchasing a complete tuned new exhaust system?

[miniator]

nice, just what i wanted to see. A unichip will be fitted come the end of the summer after ive sorted the air filter/box out and got some sports cams fitted (all being well lol)

both cats are still in my motor, just the middle boxes removed and the remux backbox....

[mkaminski100]

WOW    That is simply perfect thats exactly what I want for mine...
I guess I am going on a search for some 40mm springs and some new shocks then...
Should have everything sometime this spring...

Found these pictures of a Catera Conversion here in the states but couldnt figure out what stuff he used...


Enjoy...

Do you know the owner of this car? Looks like polish numberplate...

[miniator]

thats because it is a polish plate, still an american car though

[CateraMV6]

The owner is of Polish decent I assume, and lives in chicago, owns an exotic car dealership think its called LUXMOTORS... I can check

Perhaps look at the links i posted, those will take you to his site!..
I wish I knew him too, he has some of the nicest Omegas I have seen on this side of the big pond!

Comparing your graph with mine I notice you don't have a slight flatspot seen in mine around 3500rpm. I really feel that when full throttle 2nd thru to 4th. A little annoying also as it sits right at the point of average flowing mway speed so when there's a gap there's initial slight hesitation in 5th when getting back up to 90/100. No idea what would cause this flatspot.

So the two middle boxes are simply removed without any further work required? I've just been checking out Remus exhaust backboxes and surprised by their low cost. Sound nice too?

[miniator]

yeah, simply 2 straight pipes from each cat back to the backbox....

it sounds epic....so addictive! heres a wee video that gives some idea....in person.....its a different story. i particularly like the way she pops and bangs ever so slightly when slowing down through the gears

Ooh, I've got 2 get me one of those!

Really nice sound even at youtube bandwidth. Starting quite soft edged but nice and burbly, like a V8 should sound with 2 cylinders less
Love to hear the MV6 full throttle growl under load too!

[CateraMV6]

Here is a chart of mine... But those readings are in RWHP not the bhp...

So they are off by abou 20% or so...

[miniator]

i see what you mean with the torque lines, both in your graphs and the ones above. my car seems to really die away.
to be fair though, you dont really notice it when your driving still pulls all the way to the cut out!

[AndyVXR300]

Very nice car mate........ you must be proud to own such a clean example

Hoping to get mine upto that standard in the near future

[miniator]

i am indeed mate, a few wee niggly things to sort out but thats just because im a fussy bugger!

Easter will see a complete de-swirl for the summer! Should come up a real treat!
