Put a 3.0 in it if it doesn't have one or the 3.6 from a Lotus Carlton

Now it’s 2.0 with automatic transmission. If I want I have 3.0 24v in second car but with polish traffic limits its no neccessary to have a big engine.

Boo traffic limits, get a big fuel inefficient v8 and live the North American dream

Wait, I have v8 corvette c4 with L98 engine. During a dynamic journey, but without racing, it could use 10.34 liters per 100 kilometers. The Omega will use 8 liters with the stock ECU. This isn't stock because it can shoot fire.

Not nearly inefficient enough icl

How bad is Polish traffic limits?

[-]

jerzalke@reddit (OP)

50 inside city, 90 out of the city, 140 on the highway. In kilometers per hour. But if you have more than 100 inside city, you need to use a bike for a 3 months.

bluizzo@reddit

😬 Nope. I mean the highway isn't bad but not sure if the police are strict for you if you go over 140kph

If I have lot of drivers license categories it’s important for me

tordenflesk@reddit

You're allowed to have fun within that, no?

[-]

GrynaiTaip@reddit

Apparently not.

Z_Wild@reddit

Get those rub straps properly mounted, the tape is kinda killing the vibe, imo, respectfully. 🍻

“All cars rust, but Opel has the Rekord.” 😉

I love the stance on it. And the wheels.

[-]

jerzalke@reddit (OP)

Opel has the Omega too. Omega means resistance in users thinking.

thafrenzy@reddit

I mean, it looks terrible. Would love to know what your plans for it are.

[-]

jerzalke@reddit (OP)

From outside is done. It’s real rust made by myself.

[-]

GrynaiTaip@reddit

Did you put a clear coat over the rust?

[-]

jerzalke@reddit (OP)

No

thafrenzy@reddit

In austria this would get you stopped by the police everytime they see you, if the car would even be allowed to drive on the road.

Is it just rust or is it "conserved" , like rad rods look rusty but have a coat of see through paint?

[-]

jerzalke@reddit (OP)

Rust is better than painting - when you paint car with corrosion process is getting inside steel. There process is getting outside. Bottom of the car and every important chassis are fixed.

I reckon it looks sick. Wheels suit it perfectly, it’s unique, it’s art, probably still drives ok, cool car man. I’m assuming the tape is just coz the trim strips had recently been glued back on?

[-]

jerzalke@reddit (OP)

Yes, now it’s without tapes and car shield glue works perfectly
