Lurker to New M12 Owner
Discussion
Hi Folks,
Having been lurking on the forum for what seems like forever, I have finally purchased a Noble M12 GTO3. I viewed and test drove a number of them, prior to settling on this silver one:
Lurking on the forum, definitely helped me know what to look out for, but I guess only time will tell if I have chosen well or not. Either way, they are unbelievably easy to drive, and ssoooo much fun, I'm sure I'll enjoy it whatever happens.
I understand that there is an engine installation manual available, is there also an electrical diagram available?? As I'm trying to locate an electrical issue with the car. If so how can I go about getting copies of both of these, preferably in digital format??
Thanks
Phil

see my post in http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... if anyone is interested in getting it back up again.
Ignoring the obvious superficial rust & leaky floor issues. All had track day sumps, which I was quite surprised about, given the number of posts which I have read on the forums.
The biggest difference was the 1 with the larger Jetstream front brake discs and I presume the hard brake pipe down the tunnel. They definitely inspired a lot more confidence (harder & more consistent pedal) than the stock brake setup, and are definitely a better match to the performance of these cars. Needless to say, I will be getting this done to mine when my current pads need replacing.
The torque curve between cars seems to vary, but I have presumed this is down to the mods and ecu map. Mine has an NMS exhaust and NMS map, and feels a lot more torque-y once it get's going and the boost has built, where as others seem to more consistent through the rev range, which may be the stock tune.
Also the azure blue painted cars seemed to get more attention from other drivers and pedestrians, than silver, but I guess this is to be expected.
