Thankfully the Essex boys were in tow last night or I'd be off to change my head gaskets in a desperate attempt to make the ring/spa trip, the water header tank was pressuring up and chucking water and steam out, a few of us were sure it was the gasket and were trying to locate parts (i was quietly loosing the will to live) but again Steve and Grant appeared with a £20 high pressure cap and saved the day. Huge thanks to them T and Steve at TracknRoad.

Thanks to the good work of the lads above they need to make room in the club for one more, 611bhp and 550lbft worth of madness!

The whole power curve has moved forward and up, faster spool up and the wheel power is now more than the previous 550bhp flywheel power curve right through the revs.

Didn't get off fault free though as a front brake line has sprung a leak, today's job identified!

Next stop the nordschleife!

Well done Graham - mine is ruining again now, and will be on the road when I get back to Suffolk next week. I'll let you know how I get on with your old turbos. I'm still after your fascia too when you get around to fitting the carbon one.

I simply cannot imagine what a 600bhp Noble might feel like. Congrats to all of you who've got there.

Cheers guys,

It's quite surreal, the acceleration makes the car feel like it's somewhere between the fastest moving thing on the planet and the next star of a "seconds from disaster" documentary because of the event that happens when you press the loud pedal, so many insane noises and sensations happening at once!

It going like st in every gear and any mistake will be unforgiven.

Next week I'll be comfortable with that and looking for ways to get more though...









Kidding!
