Advice needed on selling spare bits

[FoMoCoJoe]

Hi all,

I've recently sold the Noble and have been left with some items that I want to sell.

Through your own experiences of selling spares and the like, what would be my best option? Ebay, Pistonheads classifieds, front window of the newsagents?

Thanks

Joe

Pistonheads for a while- and I'd have thought it would then be reasonable to put a link to that advert here.
Then ebay if nobody bites.

Your post might get removed but try and post a list here..?

I'm after an oil temp/pressure gauge and a decent aftermarket exhaust if you just happen to have them lying around!?

[Hollowpockets]

email me with the list of parts first, then if I don't need them for the race car, pistonheads as ebay is a horrible place.

The group on Facebook is probably a good start too.

[FoMoCoJoe]

Unfortunately I don't have anything of performance value, although my Noble had the Roush exhaust and I can highly recommend it Green3R!

As for racing bits Hollowpockets theres nothing for you either Im afraid! It's more along the lines of Noble Luggage set, indoor Noble cover, outdoor tailored cover, splitter.

Maybe you could 'carbon wrap' the splitter and fool those 458's on the GT cup grid! my friend raced in the GT cup last year in his RX7 so it's good to see a different marque breaking up the regular pack one again....not that his got close to doing so....

Let me know what sort of price you are looking for for both the covers!

Aha, perhaps you may have a buyer already! Would you let me know what you were considering for the luggage set please. Feel free to PM me (although I can't pick up messages until I get home tonight).

what condition is the splitter in? Mine's looking a bit tatty, could easily collect from Essex this Sunday.

[FoMoCoJoe]

I'm just off to work now so I'll try and get some PM's out to everyone who has shown interest. Either during lunch break (7-8) or when I get home tonight (12)

Initially when posting I had the intention of just running Ebay auctions, so I'll have a think on prices and start getting some pictures together!

PM please with prices on the covers

You do realise what will happen as soon as you get rid of that one don't you Kev!

That's interesting Kev, is it forged up with ARP head bolts uprated valve springs etc.

Graham don't tempt fate! It's a fantastic engine as Tux knows but it's been in the Garage for a year now, will be sad to see Scholes go though.

Martin, was built by Mike at Noble Motorsport for me, has standard pistons, uprated bearings, cam timing alteration, valve springs & uprated head bolts, larger injectors etc.
Was stripped at 18,000 miles by Mike as a health check which everything fine so rebuilt with new rings, bearings, head bolts, gaskets etc. Since then has done approx 7000 miles.
Last dyno was by Trevor in Jan 2012 which was 499bhp @ 6282 rpm / 448lbs @ 5079 rpm.
For the last 2 years it's been my spare engine when i've suffered troubles with the Race engine & always been 100% hence why it's been nicknamed Scholes

Thanks Kev. Thinking of building an engine over time but this would have been a nice short cut. However, I want forged pistons for peace of mind and to maybe turn it up a bit later on 😃

Still PM me cost though
