andrericardo Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Hi everybody Here I am from Portugal with a new project. Sold the old rusty project, and bought a new one. Its a 1.9l in the registration, but came with an Opel Omega 2.0i 8v engine and gearbox already fitted. Bought this one for 1000 euros. The car had already had the body repaired, and the interior upholstered. Just needed painting and some details. Das anyone have a car with this engine? Pics will come soon.

andrericardo Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 engine Opel Omega 2.0i (stock) the paint was very bad and I tried polishing it, but there were too many litle dents and scratches... first start: Because the paint was so bad, I decided on a new colour: what do you say?

andrericardo Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 They look good.....get them on! How's your engine running? John. it's running good, but didnt got it properly tuned yet. does anyone have an engine like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta400john Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 it's running good, but didnt got it properly tuned yet. does anyone have an engine like this? I don't who is running a 2litre like yours, I think idle speed and mixture is about all you can adjust. Did you get the car with that engine already fitted? It would be worth checking inside distributor cap to check it's condition if you haven't done so yet. What like's the weather in Portugal just now All the best, John.
