Hi Stance|Works!
I'm Eduardo, and I'm here to share a little of my 1994 GM/Opel Omega Caravan C20NE with you..I found the forum searching in the web for parts and ideas for the car and, after some chats with members I decided to show the car.
Nowadays I'm living in Budapest, but I'm from Blumenau.. It's a little city in the south of Brazil. Chevrolet sold the Omega A as their flagship model from 92 to 98, the caravan being sold only until 96.
We had only petrol versions, in the beginning with the C30NE to the CD and Diamond versions (with MT5 and AT4). These engines were sold until the end of 94. In 95, GM decided to change the C30NE to a modernized version of the classic GM 250 inline six, sold in the previous Opala (something like the brazilian version of the Reckord C (sold from the middle/end of the 60's until 92). The engine was updated by Lotus, with new intake manifold, sequential fuel injection and others. The C20NE was bored to 2.2 with new ECU as well, getting rid of the shitty MAF to a MAP sensor.
Well, enough said about the Omegas in Brazil.. that's my 'van's history:
It was bough from the 1st owner in Feb. 2008 with 81k km. Mint conditions until august, first year, when mom crashed, drunk mothaf* made a forbidden U-turn and she couldn't avoid.
The car was repared, but after that it suffered some other crashes as well in these 8 years of daily driving (my parents) and abuse (me :P). It has now 155k km, with an engine rebuilt in last january due a burnt cylinder head gasket and also fuckd valve retentors.
My ideas for the car, when I got back home, are to lower it a little, put some 15x8", strip the interior (because weight red. bro!), round the rear arches, and mainly solve the ECU problems with that damn MAF sensor. Probably I'll use some aftermarket ECU like Fueltech (it's getting famous in the US drag scene now, made in Brazil). Later, maybe turbocharge it.
Pictures time (it's being edited)
Just arrived home, feb 2008! completely original.. mint conditions as I said
With a friend's CD with the 4.1, 2008 yet (1996)
How it was in late 2010 after a paint polish, black painted grill + painted bumpers etc::
Some sightseeing near the family's beach house:
How it's now.. chrome grill + different front bumper (with the fog lights holes):
Some refferences to the project:
Hope you enjoy!
