Modifying an Omega
08. Dec 2007 at 17:07
 
Huh I've currently got an Omega 2.2 CDX but am considering modifying.

I'm thinking about putting a V8 into it and modistly adding a body kit. I like the MV6 body kit, where could i get one fitted to my current CDX.

Shall I add a V8 or not?

Welcome.

V8 would need stronger box, better brakes, revised suspension. Don't do it by halves Wink

Which V8 you thinking of?

We had a member stick a 3.6 twin turbo from an LC in his Omega....
