Good engine

Thanks

Yep, all these types of cars were always slept on, just used and abused, but like anything, once a decent period of time passes by, then when something like my 216, or a Nova, Corsa B GSI etc, people are like "ohhhh yeahhhh I forgot about them" then all of a sudden they are cool Haha I think you may have been right 😂 luckily for me I am Honda drivetrain, so I cheat the BL system 😆

Nice one, thanks for the watch bud

Yeah I started training about 2 months ago, thanks mate 😉

Absolutely, I certainly don't care what people think, that's why I own 5 different makes of cars, none of which are today's 400hp, DSG, quarter mile in 12 seconds level of fast, they just make me happy Side note, the CLK rips the clock no problem, I've probably done it 25 times, and it never fails to impress how easy it does it

I couldn't have worded it better, I love speed, as you can probably tell from my early videos and cars, but driving at a gazillion mph isn't all that fun, I can take my Rover out for a drive for an entire day and not drive over 50-60mph, if I am in the right mood and good surroundings, I don't feel the need to, thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it

Thank you, much appreciated, yeah I think you are right, I don't ideally want to keep on top of this each year

I'm glad you enjoyed the video, I wasn't too sure if I was actually going to make it or not, hard to cram 2 days of footage into 20 minutes of video, more coming along soon

Old Top gear always used this area to film in

Ah nice, I love this colour, personally I think it's the best colour they came in, can't be many left now, don't sell it!

Fear not, it'll be back on the road very soon, no more sitting around, also for peace of mind, the cover is fully insulated and waterproof

Sorry I don't understand

@@L.r.e_motorsport What is the spec of your front suspension? Thanks for nice video! Your omega is awesome!

@@boristheblade2791 the car is on BC coilovers, I can't remember the spring rates, thanks very much

Yes the Catera was NOT welcomed with open arms in the US, problem was it was so not a Cadillac, and that's because it wasn't lol, had they sold it as a different brand, then maybe it might not have done too badly, but yeah, as you know, they really aren't a bad car

Hahaha, bloody word, can never remember it 😆, glad you enjoyed it 💪🏻

Hi Thomas, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, sounds like you got a nice one, you have a 3.0 straight six diesel? I totally agree, the facelift Omega is definitely timeless, even though I buy other cars, because I do like other stuff, I will NEVER sell the Omega, I think I will be buried in it haha.

@@L.r.e_motorsport Yes, the base model was the "2.5 DTI" (2.5 liter straight six BMW M57 from E39 525d) which was sadly never available in the UK since they had problems fitting the steering rack on RHD. So the old 2.5 TD (BMW M51, also straight six) was the only one the UK market got. In 2016 I swapped the 2.5 liter for the 3 liter from the E39 530d (193 hp or 190 bhp in the UK) which is a very tuneable and bulletproof engine. I have customers with over 800 Nm (~ 600 ft-lbs) and 350 hp on this engine. The torque is insane. 😅 I can't imagine selling the Omega, I had so many memories with that car, it would be like cutting off my arm. Last year it got 20 years old, so it is called a Youngtimer here, still another 10 years until it officially gets a Oldtimer. Hard to imagine with that still very modern look. 😁

Wow, damn, 350hp diesel with that torque, in an Omega jeez, fair play haha, that is impressive, where are you from? My dream is to V8 swap it in the future, can't beat a V8

@@L.r.e_motorsport I'm from Germany and yes, a V8 is a V8. Music for the ears. 😁

@@edc15de Absolutely!! ah nice, where from? I spent many years back and forth to Germany

Oh really, are you still local to the area? If you ever see me about, come and say hello for sure, gold is definitely an option, once I have polished it, I will make my mind up then.

agree gold with British Green is classic

Yes still local, grove/wantage area 👍 Will definitely give you flash/chat if i see any of your vehicles about. I'm sure I've seen the Rover out and about which you cannot miss!

@@alanr3873 oh right, well most likely will see each other then, yeah probably is me, as there are only 17 registered on the road, I doubt there is another 3 door red GTI around our area, and if there is, I want to know who he is 😂

Thank you, thanks for watching

8:30 in 2021 when I was out there for 3 months, I have a video uploaded of the 8:40

@@L.r.e_motorsport Very fast for 211hp. Congrats.

@@kcusspoc thank you, yeah I was giving it my all lol

Thanks for the watch, no that is something I still need to do

@@L.r.e_motorsport me too)

I had omega 1995 and owned cadillac catera once. What a great memories your channel brings me back. Thank you for that, and lookint forward to your next video.

Hi, do you maybe have a source of such flywheels for Omega V6?

@@zigmasssthanks for watching, I am happy you enjoyed it, I will be posting other videos as well as the Omega, I have a variety of cars, but the Omega will be making a few appearances this year

Haha yes, definitely just an average guy who is NOT a mechanic, but not too bad with a spanner, UK without the rain, I couldn't believe it! 😂 thanks for watching!

Omega will come don't worry, no Elite is the trim level, this is an Izuzu 3.0V6 Diesel, extremely rare now

Yes Son.... your Mother IS watching... and 'learning' (about swapping springs!) as it happens.... lol 😊

Ah me too, I could drive this car for 500 miles on a highway no problem, it wants to do that, to be honest I don't think it makes a huge difference in sport mode, I drive in sport mode constantly

The Omega review will come, just needs a little work, and better weather Because BMW does not offer a better V8 coupe with this performance, price and looks

There is no way I'd touch a V8 6-Series for the money paid for the CLK, in fact double or even triple that amount would still risk ending up with a lemon. And I say that as someone who owns a 6-Series!

@@deaks25 yeah they really aren't good, I actually like a 6 series (LOVE the v10 m6) but they seriously don't match up against a V8 CLK variant

@@L.r.e_motorsport I own a 650i and it's no slouch, and an excellent GT, but a good one is a lot more than £1900, heck even bad ones are more than £1900 and will just be money pits.

Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed it

Absolutely!

Cheers James

Thank you, I will be making a video just on the Omega soon

Yeah first time in front of the camera, thank you, more videos to come

Yeah it's a shame he sold it, maybe you could buy an Omega one day? My friend had a Puma a few years ago, it was a good car, thank you for the love 💪🏻

240hp und ya, es ist L.r.e_motorsport

Hi there, it’s never actually entered at Lydden Hill before, and no not really, it done it’s last main stint in summer of 2021, where it spent months out in Germany, getting many hard laps put on it, it then had track time back in the UK in the October of 21, and since then, it hasn’t moved unfortunately, 2 years already almost

It’s from a 2.5V6 Omega

@@L.r.e_motorsport i didnt know they built the 2.5 with manual

@@AronMih oh yeah! the 2.5 and the 3.0 were relatively common as a manual back in the day

Hi there, I know, I am very sorry, last year I done 40 laps of the Nurburgring in the Omega, and all of the footage was deleted by accident, unfortunately I don’t know when I use the car again on track, I have thought about making a review video on the car, not sure if anyone would be interested in that? The 3.7 is still a good modification, try and get as much weight out as possible, coilovers is a must, I have custom 11J wheels, as I wanted as much grip as I could get

@@L.r.e_motorsport Thanks a lot for answering me. Sure it would be great to see review👍

Hi, yes the automatic in this year of Opel really is not good, I would never use auto on track, unless it was a newer car Thank you, in person it is so so loud, sounds crazy

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video

Don't do a me and not use it, make sure it see's day light, I will be putting it back on the road now, literally just made a video about it

1400KG

Haha thank you very much, yeahhh you just got to send it, she loves it!

He has done a walk around on it before in one of his videos like 3 years ago, but I wasn’t there, I doubt he would be interested now

@@L.r.e_motorsport He does drive older cars too, I would ask him. Could be a cool video! Can you help me with couple of things with Omega... Would you be to send me an e-mail with your omega alignment and tracking details? I have problem with front tires wearing on the inside when driving fast in the corners. I would be grateful

@@bax442 tbh, my alignment probably won’t suit your car as I am running max camber front and rear, I’m also on the BC coilovers with custom spring rates, my car also wears very bad on the inside, but that is due to the 3 degrees of Camber on the front of my car, I’d say you are also just running a lot of Camber

@@L.r.e_motorsport negative or positive 3 degrees? I guess that it's just single wishbone suspension for us. I have seen omega with monaro suspension rear and front on eBay. Apartament it just fits

@@bax442 negative 3 degrees on the front I’m running, yeah, there isn’t really much to do about it, I used to drive with the OEM wheels on the front, with cheap tyres, so I didn’t scrub the Semi Slicks

It’s called a Kode, I think, thank you, the car is great

Ah nice, 3.2 is a good car, manual?

@@L.r.e_motorsport it's an automatic. But I love it.
