Cheers John. I'll be down Deal way on Saturday. If you're there too, we could catch up for a cuppa if you like. Looking unlikely that I'll have the Nob in time though.
Sorry Stephen, we're away for the weekend; but let me know next time. Wouldn't have my toy either as it's with Jetstream at the moment for some tlc.
No worries John. The new toy is at Jetstream too!

It's coming! Tomorrow I'm picking up the 'replacement' Nob from Jetstream. It seems like an eternity, but in reality it's only been about 9 weeks. I think I've done well really. Thank you Matt and Dave.

Looks like my old car, I do miss that thing.
I've just looked up your profile Gary. It is indeed your old car! I've had to spend on it and had some mods done, and now hope I get some reasonably reliable motoring out of it!laugh

Absolutely Haydn. I wouldn't have looked twice at this car if it hadn't been coming via Jetstream.

Looks great - just needs the front splitter replaced to complete the asthelical loveliness.

With the carbon splitter and mirror covers to complete the look.

Looks fantastic. Hope you enjoy the drive home.

PS Did you see if mine was on the ramp yet?
There were 3 silver Nobles, all on ramps next to one another. I hope one was yours!!!

Drive home was very nice indeed, especially ahead of the rush hour traffic.

Where can you buy the carbon front splitter.
Jetstream can provide the splitters at around £300. Mirror ends £125.

Looks great.

What's the spec. Looks like a 3R with M400 side pods. What else has been done?
Yep, 3R. I paid to have carbon wing ends, mirror covers & splitter added as I thought they'd tie in nicely with the anthracite wheels. Also added the side pods, electric mirrors & tunnel cooling. A bit of paintwork too!
The car has hubs upgraded, track day sump, Protech shocks, exhaust upgrade (sounds awesome!) & a rear diffuser.
Oh yeh, I also had the orange part of the rear lights tinted. Looks good.

Bernhund, did Jetstream do all of that?
Exhaust,shocks,defuser & sump were already on it. Jetstream sorted the rest.

[quote=Ant3R]Think I saw you driving through my village (Walton, the next one to Bruntingthorpe when you head out towards Lutterworth) the other day, you did a steady cruise through. Exhaust sounded great and the car looked very clean.[/quoteep,

That was probably me Ant if it was last Friday. Steady in the villages!

Car looked great. I was going to wave you down to say hello but you had already gone past the house when I heard you.
Living in Walton, you should be the top Noble 'spotter' on the forum!

Out of interest, which exhaust is on it now?
It's an HKS system. All looks good and tidy, with a heat wrap. Was that on it when you were the owner?

Good to see its still going strong, that's the exhaust myself and a friend made on my driveway! I bought the HKS silencers and made the rest up to suit and it worked very well and sounded nice too, he was the expert welder i might add :-)
A job well done Gary! It's had a minor repair to it since & a manifold. Sounds fantastic!
