The mapping was to ensure the boost control is operating properly.

I think you might regret that decision

you have spent a lot of money on the car - only to let somebody else benefit from all your hard work

If you do sell - i reckon you will be back to get a 3R or a M400

Personally as soon as mine is fixed its being sold too. It will have cost in total 7k+ for 4k miles of "fun". But sod it, really cant be bothered with it anymore. Let someone else have a well sorted motor. I will go back to Fiesta or Panda power smile
Sure you will find another toy that floats your boat smile

Paul I know you spoke about this at Silverstone but I never thought you'd go through with it so soon.

I hope we can still meet up for some runs in what ever you buy next!

What do you have in mind?

Thanks chaps...

Gadge - you may be right smile Although I do fancy trying something even more focussed next - like an Atom.

James – no doubt I will see you on some runs chap smile

Thr Atoms are amazing in my opinion - try to get a supercharged one

but - its like a bike with 4 wheels, crap in bad weather

perhaps a Caterham is up your street ?

I didn't like them particularly (thought they looked a bit like a wheelie bin with an engine TBH) but I had a trip to LeMans last year in a R400 which was good fun (clip here). In any case, the two car strategy will have to wait till next year. In the meantime I'm going to be busy sorting out two houses smash and trying to find a new one, so I'll just get something to tie me over.

yep - having 2 cars is defo the way to go

a turbo diesel to clock up the miles and a weekend fun toy

(I have 5 cars and a motorbike ! nuts)

sensible fun would be an old M3 or an M5 - bulletproof engines

something a bit more exotic would be a lancia Delta Integrali

or if you fancy something Japaneze and powerful a Toyota Supra - i've seen 853 hp from a standard internals engine !!

You should check out the kit car forum. That's one of the few places with cars as fast as Nobles...and of course for a fraction of the price.

How about one of Lee Nobles first creations hehe
