Noble newbi

[marc3152]

Hi everybody

I've finally decided after years of lusting to take the plunge and get myself on of these incredible machines.
I have seen one that I like the look of ( http://www.gilescooperautomotive.co.uk/noble-m12-g... )
and it seems to have all the right bits but I would be grateful If anybody has any information on it. Reg M12 AGM

Many thanks

Looks a great car with all the work that has already been done plus an unusual (and attractive) colour. You won't regret taking the plunge but budget for keeping it running, they require lots of care and attention - but its all worth while! Good luck.

[marc3152]

Thanks. I love the look of the car and I'm hoping the previus owners that did all the mods are still about so I can pick
their brains about the car

[marc3152]

And I really should learn to spell previous

I nearly bought this car last summer when it was on sale. But was pipped to it. It certainly looks like it has had all the major stuff done. The last owner was this. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?h=0...

But he didn't do the mods.

Thanks Neil. I've emailed the last owner who said it was a good car but ran a bit rough for the first ten mins. ( I'm guessing that's not unusual ? ). Was hoping to get hold of the guy that did the mods. I think he really went though the mill with this car so should know it inside out

[NeilC4S]

Try the guy on this thread

http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.p... that was going to be my plan before the car sold!

often a bit rough on cold start until warmed up. I thought mine was missing a bit until I heard all the others at the last JS Noble meet !

That Engine bay has had a lot done. Under clam and guards in front of wheels are also very clean. What ECU does it have?

This was that car before it was resprayed....




O.K, I lied! Looks very nice indeed. I'm lovin' those Sonata lights, a lot of work goes into fitting them.

[marc3152]

Lousy bit of parking!!

[M.Ako]

Hi Marc, welcome along, car looks very nice.

Had me fooled for a moment! thought you meant it! I have always thought I am putting my life on a knifes edge every time I go out in the Noble but looking at this the integrity of the cockpit looks very good despite such extensive damage.

That's Ollie_M 's old nob . Saw it at the super veloce racing meet end of Jan .

[mgbond]

Surely it hasn't had the cam belt changed as there isn't one it's a chain

With GT2860's at 1 bar I'm surprised it's not more power?

How much is it up for?

[marc3152]

I think they mean the ancillary belt but that's why I'm trying to get as much info as I can
but unfortunately I can't get hold of the guy that did most of the work.

It's up for 30.

[2.5bluenob]

When mine was a 2.5 it made more power on gt28 turbos at similar boost.
It does seem a bit low on power. But it's not the be all I guess.

[marc3152]

I thought 373 BHP@ 7059 RPM / 341 LB FT TORQUE @ 4720 RPM sounded
OK but I.m a newbie. Does it not depend on the map?
