So i see this thread that says "what do you think guys"......being the curious type i took a peak AND FRIKKIN WOW. way to totaly dominate a thread pal.

I have spent 8 hours today (at work apparently) staring at Nobles and alloy wheels thinking away, then i decided to join a Noble forum (don't know why it took me so long) and i see this green monster that totally made me realise i had just wasted 8 hours of my life. Tomorrow out of respect i am going to stare at your car for 8 hours to make up for it Tux.

by the way do you get a better shine from a wrap than normal paint job. Cheers, all the best and really really good effort.
thanks Thundercat made me laughlaugh
No the wrapp finish is not quite as shiney as paint but its very good and alot cheaper !!

here's a few more threads to read if you want

Well thank you very much Tux, very kind.

christ i feel like one of the family already, little tear jerkin going on.

Well i say thank you but at the same time i'm not impressed. I can see these nobles can be very addictive. if you read my post earlier today you will know that i will have the funds in 9 months (to the day if all goes to plan) to buy my little dream motor. I'll be looking for a Silver 3.0 either 2004 or 2005 GTO 3R, with as low mileage as possible for around £28,000 (i want to make sure i get a good example).

The issue i have now is that in my head i've already spent £10,000 on upgrades (although they will have to come later) but i can see already i am going to become addicted to adding to the package.

you seem to be the Guru of the forum Tux so i wonder if you wouldn't mind answering the questions that i have been tirelessly searching for on google all day and night.

not too many ( breathes in deeply ):

1)a= i need a loud aggressive sounding exhaust, really sporty, if it backfires, pops, or christ if spits fire i'll be impressed, (actually forget the flames)

b= is there a certain air induction kit that would compliment this racey exhaust that i'm sure you will name for me.

2) will i have problems fitting 19" alloys? i saw a beautiful example and will be needing 19's already picked the perfect set that will look unbelievable on a silver Nob (no way i can show you though because i think you own a silver one, sorry mate, you'll have to wait and see)

ok thats it, i hope you can help me or any of you other guys out there, would really appreciate some feedback.

The Noble already has K&N airfilters and only the position of them changes things like noise. the bulk head is the common place but Urb has opened up the possibility of another place. (See thread).

If you tune the car and remove the cats, it will be loud and flames can sometimes pop out. Got vid of flames coming from Grants (funkybmx) Nob.

Unfortunately there are only a few wheels that will fit unless you can find some that can be changed to fit. Everyone will be interested if you find some.

The loudest exhaust is the Rousch but it no good for track work !!
Filters up by the bulkhead give the best sound but can loose power !!!

Tux, i believe i made reference to you owning a silver Noble earlier, you threw me off by sending me those links. it was silver before green right?

Also you all seem to know each other well, is this from meeting on the forum.

what do you guys get up to apart from ripping engines apart? race, meets?

well in basic terms all the big bhp road cars are in essex and east anglia,and we have a 500 club that many wannabes are trying to infiltrate,mainly nothern types...we just humour them...

we do partake in the consumption of a nice curry or two from time to time..

Thundercat... go to a few meets, see a few cars, decide on the mods you want.

Std car with exhaust will meet the requirement you mention above... but modding these cars is addictive and can be real expensive if you don't pick and choose them carefully.
