Air con and a full tank of petrol would add a fair bit I would think along with a few extra bits I have added to the car !!! Tux

ye but he added 200kg of carbon fibre bits

If you look on the VIN plate, it says the car weighs 1200kg, 500kg front , 700kg rear.

Why did Noble market the car as weighing approx 1000kg? The M400 is not really an M400, you need 480bhp to have a true M400. Tux you need to change your badges to M410

[TuxMan]

Yep ....... Matt put new stickers on today ..... Can you see them ??

[Gadgeroonie]

did you take the 6 off and turn it upside down ?

did you get to max it out on the straight

Ha ha yes mate , not flat put but Dave gave her a good thrashing !!! :-)

[andygtt]

must admit it looked great Si, wish I'd been able to stay to see it go up the straight before I left.... Jetstream is an amazing place, we counted 13 nobles I believe must be the busiest Noble experts in the world?

is known as being an exagerated weight claim and the true weight is closer to 1200kgs full of fuel was what I was told.

Tux added weight by fitting the lsd and tds, but then lost a few kgs by reducing size of tank a few litres and lightening flywheel.... maybe he's added 20kgs max?

Be interesting when we corner weigh mine as I went across to heavier 6 speed but then lost weight on the single turbo and clutch etc.

Nice one Tux. Mine was 1112kg with 2/3 fuel when it was last done (about 4yrs ago). Heading up to see Dave and Matt next Saturday to get my geo sorted as well; camber is way out at the front and I'm scrubbing the inside of one of my v precious Corsas. Hope it will be a bit lighter this time with the carbon/mag rims

[daddysumo]

My car is a bit of a porker now its 1250 kg, but that was with 3/4 tank of fuel and all the extra pumps and coolers etc

Agree - it just landed from the planet Lee

[hollowpockets]

My car weighed in at 1100, with a half tank I think it was.

Pics look great of the car on the runway.

Just for info, what do they do once they know what the corner weights are. do they balance it out (I would assume that means adding weight? or does it mean the camber etc is adjested acording to whell wieght?
