replaced hoses (has anyone else been left with spares??
)
fitted new radaiator (pro-alloy)
sealed floor
fitted HID head lights (a must, what a difference
)
reversing switch and most of the rear bulbs!
tunnel cooling mod
re-earth all wires
adaption to drivers seat to inable me to remove the foam (height, and no it didn't make much difference
)
waxoil
replaced leaking clutch master cylinder
adaption to fuel pump mounting (no more angry bee)
replace fuel lines with new larger and filter
Just the service and turbos to fit (thanks to Andy

Hope to see you guys for the evening meet if the car is ready
Cheers

Any chance you could put a photo of the HID installation, I did mine but the leads were fairly short and the transformer box bit was bolted to the rear of the headlight and leaked and then failed after a few months. I have gone back to "normal" headlights but would love the HID's again
Will get the car booked in for it's service in the next week or so. Looks like, once the turbos are fitted I'll have to trailer it to T&R for remap which is a pain. So hoping by next month or so, car will be done.
The guys were able to fit the balist ( starter) inside the light cover, will see how this goes. It is a tight fit but my car is the 3R so it has quite a bit of room. Did think of fitting this near the radiator as others have, but I was worried about it getting wet while washing the car etc.
As I've said, the difference is amazing. I have found the main beam very good, but as other cars come towards and being so low, it's easy to loose sight of the sides of the road. These take care of that problem. Will try to find the link
I'm sure this is the unit that I brought. The company is very helpful, wasn't sure if mine was projector or not, they got up some images of the Noble and were able to identify them as projectors. I went with the advice from Rob (Blu3R Cheers) and chose the 5000k which does give a suttle blueness to the light:

How did you fix the angry bee?
Could be two answers, its ither the fact of fitting better fuel lines, so the pump can work easier, or its the fact we have mounted the pump and filter onto a plate and fixed them in-place by some clamps. I think its the latter and its quite easy to do.wessexrfc said:

Skip actually put mine in the light housing so it is sealed in with the lights.hoyin said:
