prices

[Nebby]

Prices are a bit all over the place, especially on the 2.5's. Big difference's on a few and i can't quite work it out!!.

[R0162]

It is a mind field, the gap between a good Noble and a bad one is growing all the time, some are very well maintained and some are falling to pieces, some are bargains and some are not, cheap is not necessarily better, and cheap and end up costing you a lot more, but if you can find one that is reasonably priced and well maintained then that is your best bet.
You may notice a black and yellow 2.5 on there, this is owned by one of the members on here "worty" i would have a look at that one personally.

He's having a complete laugh if he thinks he's going to get close to that. I admire the amount of work that he's clearly put into it from the list of things but how he thinks he's going to get even 1p of his mods back on a 2.5 with not far short of 40k miles, is beyond me.
Plus a lot of the work that he classes as mods are general running repairs that in places he's chosen to upgrade.

Oh and:

DEFO A 1 OFF AND THE ONLY 1 IN THIS COUNTRY WITH THE BACK LIGHTS

DONE THIS WAY

Apart from the titanium M400 up in Scotland that had the rear clam replaced with a genuine US spec after a minor prang, yes quite possibly.

Quite like the mirrors though

[sunoco69]

Just looked at it on ebay, he really is hopeful isnt he!

[Nebby]

Oh yes not seen that one!!

[TuxMan]

Well he has done alot of quality upgrades and it looks like a nice car although I cannot see a gearbox upgrade on his list !!!

[Nebby]

I think i have seen before on another thread about do upgrades add value to a car. My view is yes to a certain extent but when you look at say Worty's car which seems to be a very good buy for a 2.5, how can this be worth 12k more.

"375BHP @ FLYWHEEL, 345BHP @ WHEELS"

Erm, so it only loses 30 bhp thought the box then ?

[rjo64]

Had mine up for £22k will similar money spent on it and it did not sell, so good luck with that. Experience has taught me that mods can often reduce the value of some cars.

[mgbond]

My 2.5 is priceless. lol

[worty]

Bloody hell.

Mines going up to £45750 its worth that for the stripes alone

ye think about 10% transmission losses is about right.

My understanding is that it's closer to 18%. I got 372 fly from just exhaust recon T25's and re map.

I am in the wrong line of work!!!!

Thats it, tomorrow I buy a bucket, spounge and some wax!

[wessexrfc]

Looking in the classifields the prices are all over the price, but with 18 to choose its a buyers market.

Just out of interest, is anyone out there thinking of selling there Noble 3R, must be bright red????

[F.C.]

There's a couple of cars with Sonata rear lights floating around, and with proper carbon mirrors available for £100-£150 I think he may have had his trousers taken down at £2000

All that work, just in time for the diff to let go?

Still, hope sprigs eternal, and he does say he's just testing the water

I produced 432rwhp, i was advised by Steve(Daddysumo) this would equate to about 480@Flywheel, which makes sense as i have Simons map, which he is producing 490@flywheel but his car produces peak power a bit further up the rev range.

I think this is why certain Dynos differ on BHP@flywheel, because the conversion is dependant on transmission loss calculation, all i know for certain is my figures for torque at the rear wheel, which peaked at 440lb/ft, everything else is calculated from this figure, taken from revs, transmission loss etc..
