I have always believed that the omega was such an underrated car. The top spec 3.2 give any bmw or merc of the same era a good kicking when it comes to performance, spec, driving comfort and reliability. Really miss my 3.2 and I was super disappointed when I replaced it with a 520d F10 ;(
DawidCantDrift absolutely agree mate, I have always flown the flag that these were majorly underrated in a road spec and track spec, ok making it track ready has been extremely difficult for me because no one has done it really, so everything is custom, but I’m getting there, I’m currently working on it now, hopefully back out there in 4 weeks I hope, I can’t get enough of driving my own car 😂, should have kept your Omega mate, big mistake
@@L.r.e_motorsport I've always liked the engine and gearbox, at least conceptually and have thought about using it for a transplant into a lighter car of older vintage.
Because Omega was more expensive than them , thats why people chosed opponent cars also i always asking myself why i should buy Omega ? i lookin BMW it has E39 5.40i , Merc also similar power plus they are premium ( luxury ) car , Omega B was standart saloon car i cant find any excuse to choose Omega. By the way i really love Omega B also in Omega A Lotus version too but to be honest E39 5 series better than it.
I've had over 30 cars over the years and by far my favourite was a Vauxhall Omega 3.0 MV6 automatic which had an LPG gas conversion. I loved the kick-down in Sports Mode. It went from 70 to over 100 in the blink of an eye. The full leather interior made it feel really classy.
Yeah great cars, Imagine what 300kg lighter feels like, I actually tested mine from 70 to 100 and it made it in 5.4 seconds, I miss the days when I had it as a full road car, had great memories, but I also have great memories in this version, I’ve just got back from Germany a week ago, smashed out 30 laps, and still loves it
@@L.r.e_motorsport Did you do something about pedal placement? Brake is so raised and gas pedal is very deep. I want to learn heel n toe. But cant reach gas with heel.
Valtra103 no mate, it’s still standard, but where my seat is bolted to the floor, my legs are way more level then stock, so maybe that helps a little bit, but it is a struggle if I’m honest, but somehow I manage
Grim Reaper_1200 much appreciated mate, I’m glad you enjoyed it, yeah I’ve put a lot of time and money into it being able to corner the way it does, it really does handle so well, the car still has more to get out of it, so I look forward to that, whatever you do, don’t sell your 3.2, you will regret it massively, they are great cars
Thanks mate, I was updated tonight, and I’ll be out driving for the race team on the 24th of May, so happening sooner then I had realised, very excited but nervous, good meeting you bud
Nice driving skills. Also have Omega. 3.2 V6 to be specific. She is sleeping under blanket in the garage right now. Today i just turn her on to just warm up engine :P
papas7669 Thanks mate! looking back you definitely should have kept hold of it, I genuinely will never sell this car, but I have way passed the point of originality of the car, so I will just continue to modify it, and make it a full race car in the next couple years
I have 2.2 petrol auto, estate omega. Its my first ever car, and I feel that it will make all my future cars feel like shit. My dad said "why get a big old lump for your first car"... me "because i want a car, not a biscuit tin"
Kaine Bassett it’s true mate, don’t get me wrong, there are some newish cars that are ok, I love my Megane RS but nothing beats an older car, this was my 3rd ever car I bought back in 2011, I was 19 with a 3.0L MV6 I thought I was the Man! 😂
An awesome car ... I Regret the fact that my father sold it ...170000km 5000€ 15 years ago for his fried....😢😢😢 (He was poor but ... In a dream. My father was so generous ) THE CAR OF MY LIFE !!! My car is a Ford Puma 1,7 vct , wonderfull but ....not so Magic. "MERCI" FOR THIS AWESOME TRIBUTE 💓💓💓
Unfortunately I have been having a nightmare with my GoPro, the footage is coming out terribly, I don’t know why, I’ve just done 30 laps last month and all of it was trash, the plastic Windows also are destroying the audio, so much wind noise, I don’t really have a solution for it 😩
Soulware3D pure NA power vs his turbo evo, yeah quick in a straight line, but reeled him in nicely, tbh if it wasn’t for that golf, I’d already planned to slingshot past him before the up hill section, thanks for the love!
@@L.r.e_motorsport yea I saw you was gonna have that Evo, he would have had to move soon enough. that omega you have seems like the real deal when it comes to handling, hardly any issues when pushing it, seems to relish the thrashing. mine flopped about a lot but would give most half decent cars a run for their money on the motorway, even with 170k on the clock mine would get to 160 pretty easily.
Soulware3D yeah basically I wanted to design the car to be so handling focused, I spent a lot of money doing it, getting the right set up with what I could work with, she genuinely handles as good as a modern sports car, it’s great, my engine pulls like a train as well, it’s been thrashed it’s entire life with 150k on the clock, it’s a very loose engine, like it doesn’t mind at all being ragged, in fact it loves it, as you know, these pull 160 no problem
Hi, cheers bud, I did put the spec up on one of the replies mate, but since this video it’s not another 85KG lighter with plastic windows and all door skins cut out etc, and lithium battery saving 20KG over the original, yeah totally underestimated, really great cars
Justinas Jasilionis ahh cool, you are from the states then, I didn’t realise the Catera had the same engine unit, I don’t really know much information about Catera’s, as I have no knowledge on how many were produced and what variants were made, but I’d say any of the V6 gearboxes will handle drifting
Thanks for answer :) catera was imported to Lithuania, 3.0 same engine as opel omega. What kind of shocks you have used for the build? And anything specific for cooling system?
Car sounds amazing buddy ive a 3.0 mv6 what would you recommend on tuning for it engine wise I plan on putting piper cams in it with a lightened flywheel and an induction kit with a 2.6 inch custom dual exhaust and a remap I was looking at getting tubular manifold made but apparently it can't be done on a right hand drive because off lack off space and I've some bc racing coilovers for some handling my car is fully poloy bushed too whats you thoughts on the list above and do you have anything you would add to it I have a 3.2v6 aswell I made into a pick up for drifting but my 3.0mv6 is a road car
Hi mate, cheers, I can’t really add anymore to what you’ve said to be honest, everything you have mentioned is what I’ve basically done apart from I do have tubular manifolds which is probably where I make the big gains, it cost me a serious amount of money, purely because of the lack of space as you say, I actually need to poly bush my car desperately, that is my next mod next year
Hi bud do you have Instagram or anything we could talk privately on id like to know what sort off money the manifolds cost I dont mind paying for them but would be lot easier if I could see yous to give to a fab guy or even if the guy made yous is still about id happily pay him only asking about social media to privately message you and im sure you don't want to talk money publicly
Hello. We all waiting for your new videos, your Omega is perfect. BTW what can you suggest to modify if i bought 3.0 Omega? Chip, exhaust already installed. I have 3.7 LSD, should i install 3.9? Thanks
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
hi sir, i was on the ring with my astra g, but now i looking for an omega b2 (omega C) with a V6 engine. where i live there are not so many v6, but there are usually bulit by an automatic gearbox, unfortunately manual is really rare. the automatic gearbox is make the car worst or its not too bad? ps: the car in the vid have a crazy sound 😈
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
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
Covert Person thanks mate, yeah she is an old beast to be fair, it’s around the 230-240hp mark, but needs a rolling road as I’ve changed parts over the years, but as a rough guide, I hate saying it like that because I know it’s a generic way of saying it, but you can see for yourself it certainly isn’t any less then that lol
this is such a cool thing because its so unusual as a track car. it surely goes well for a big boat 👍. any idea how much the weight is right now? that evo driver couldnt match your skill. good driving from you!
99Lezard99 thank you so much for the compliments, it’s great to hear, I love this car, it’s a very capable car, I always knew it could be, just didn’t realise how much effort it would require because it’s so rare and not commonly used to track, you can’t buy parts for it, most is custom, I haven’t weighed it yet, as it is still being worked on, so next is plastic windows, fibreglass panel’s etc, but with the full cage back in, I’d say 1,500kg in the region, I want it 1350kg once done
99Lezard99 that Evo definitely had me on power, especially uphill with the torque difference, it’s no contest for the Evo, but I was reeling him in nicely, just unfortunately I met him on the hill sections
@@L.r.e_motorsport cheers mate! wow thats a lot of weight. did you cut out metal? like inner door skins, bonnet "skelet", sparewheel well, removed crash bars front and rear or at least cut material off thats not needed to hold the bumpers, maybe cut stuff out of the inner part of the bumpers? there are lots of parts that can be further lightened especially if run a full cage anyway, you wont need things like the oem side impact protection bars in the doors for example
99Lezard99 well literally everything you said hasn’t been done yet, but will in the next couple months, get the early part of the year out the way, then off to buy a couple packs of cutting disks and get busy 😂 haha, this video was done 2 days after I decided to build the car, it went from basic road car to this in 8 weeks, the cage took me a long time, by the time I had done suspension I was running out of time, I just needed it rolling, so this was more a test to see if the car was good etc, now I feel I can strip another 100plus kg out the car, especially with door skins, door bars, window motors alone etc
@@L.r.e_motorsport yeah so there is still a lot of weight that you can strip off. id also guess it sould be possible with cheap methods not involving carbon parts to get it below 1400kg. biggest weight loss will be doors id say. but also trunk lid and bonnet should do something. maybe also a lithium battery, you could take the dashboard out and cut as much as possible off thats not needed to hold it in the car and so on. every bit counts. it adds all up in the end. 👍😊
Michał Kanas unfortunately Omega is very difficult to get brake pads for, so I’m only using EVC yellow all round, but after every lap the brakes are nearly on fire
@@L.r.e_motorsport Standard brake system in omega is awful. In Poland many people instal big brake kit, something like this. www.olx.pl/oferta/big-brake-omega-b-brembo-swap-zr-18-360mm-hamulce-tuning-promocja-CID5-IDx0mZ9.html
Michał Kanas that looks interesting, but problem is, I’m on 17”x10” wheels and I want to keep the 17” size, I think 360mm would be too big, But I am desperate for better brakes, as my stock ones take serious abuse
@@L.r.e_motorsport Yes 17" is too small To install a big brake kit you need a minimum 18", but the improvement in brake efficiency and thermal performance is amazing.
Michał Kanas yes, but I am not made of money, and my wheels cost me £1000 as it is, and £700 for tyres, I can’t just buy another set of 18” wheels, and then brakes, maybe one day, but the car is completely set up for 17s, so I was thinking of just buying Brembo’s and have them adapted to fit the car, I can run a 330mm disc on 17s, it doesn’t necessarily have to be 360mm
@@L.r.e_motorsport Yea finally. they have been cheap for too long and too many are getting smashed up in stock car or drifting events. i've had about 5 omega v6's so far :D I love em.. I think I saw a post of your build on an omega group on facebook? I look forward to seeing more of you're car, thanx for sharing the fun.
Soulware3D yeah you are right mate, and please stop selling them lol, yeah I put it up on a couple pages I think, next year it will be a weapon, this year it was to build the set up, next year is to make it fast fast 😈 Happy to bring joy mate, no one else does with these
@@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

Great lap!
What's brake did you have?
Michał Kanas unfortunately Omega is very difficult to get brake pads for, so I’m only using EVC yellow all round, but after every lap the brakes are nearly on fire
@@L.r.e_motorsport Standard brake system in omega is awful. In Poland many people instal big brake kit, something like this.

Michał Kanas that looks interesting, but problem is, I’m on 17”x10” wheels and I want to keep the 17” size, I think 360mm would be too big, But I am desperate for better brakes, as my stock ones take serious abuse
@@L.r.e_motorsport Yes 17" is too small
To install a big brake kit you need a minimum 18", but the improvement in brake efficiency and thermal performance is amazing.
Michał Kanas yes, but I am not made of money, and my wheels cost me £1000 as it is, and £700 for tyres, I can’t just buy another set of 18” wheels, and then brakes, maybe one day, but the car is completely set up for 17s, so I was thinking of just buying Brembo’s and have them adapted to fit the car, I can run a 330mm disc on 17s, it doesn’t necessarily have to be 360mm
Чек горит! =)))
What's about the oil temperature, do you know?
I don’t know, I don’t have a gauge for it so I just send it 😂, it can do 4 back to back laps at this pace, that’s good enough for me
wouah le mec il est énervé

manual?? What box is in it?
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
Prfct...
Omega no comment!!!
Respect video... 👌🍀

Thank you very much
Damnit, just sold my 3L v6 ex fed car, gutted now haha.
Soulware3D shouldn’t have sold it man
@@L.r.e_motorsport I'll get another hopefully, before they start getting too expensive ;)
Soulware3D they are starting to finally climb now, personally I won’t ever sell mine, I will just keep making it a track weapon
@@L.r.e_motorsport Yea finally. they have been cheap for too long and too many are getting smashed up in stock car or drifting events. i've had about 5 omega v6's so far :D I love em.. I think I saw a post of your build on an omega group on facebook? I look forward to seeing more of you're car, thanx for sharing the fun.
Soulware3D yeah you are right mate, and please stop selling them lol, yeah I put it up on a couple pages I think, next year it will be a weapon, this year it was to build the set up, next year is to make it fast fast 😈
Happy to bring joy mate, no one else does with these
You should take it to Misha Charoudin channel. I wonder what he would say.
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
