Noble spitting flames...

[jamescmr2]

i was on a trackday at Donington on Friday and got a passenger ride in a black M400 tuned by John Noble Motorsport to 500bhp! had the reverie rear splitter on which looked very nice as well.
I didn't catch the name of the guy who owned it (or forgot with my terrible memory for names) but it was kind of him to take me out for a spin. it sort of made up for my race car engine dying :-)

was just looking on youtube to see if anyone uploaded any vids to see if my MR2 was on and saw this clip of the Noble from inside a Clio 172. check out the flames from the exhausts, a lot more than i would expect?? don't get me wrong it looks cool. is that just a combination of un-burnt fuel and pressure in the exhaust? MikeT you'll know the answer to this...

look at 11:30 in...

it appears again on this on at 1:53. i was in the car at this time cause i remember him chasing down the M3 CSL. which from what the owner told me was the previous owner of the car.

i ca't see it on the second video, but it's unburnt fuel passing through the exhaust on gear changes.

You can set it up to do it, this is Jase on his way back from Switzerland the other year.

hi james

the noble was my old car! even faster than when i had it as was 'only' 440bhp when mine - never got the exhaust done

had a great day in the csl though it was busy. met matt in the blue clio cup who took the video - was going really well all day, though he needs to get his camera mount sorted out!

that silver m3 is not me at 1.53 in the second video though i did get stuck behind him at least twice during the day. think he thought we were having fun playing. i just got bored of going slow and pulled into the pits

uploading some video from the day, will post a link when i get it sorted

cheers

Hasn't that just got a flamer kit fitted then?

Haha, no. It's a 2.0 Litre running circa 520BHP at that point. :-)

Wow, I'd love mine to do that!!
It must be terrible on fuel then?

Not as bad as mine was with 100HP more.
I think at some point noticeably before either of them being quite that powerful, we'd been seeing it dipping below 4MPG on track

hi there Conleth,

sorry for the mis-identification.
yeah, there were some slow M3s on track i have to say. one was quicker than the rest so i'll assume it was you :-). It probably was though! you'll have to let me know if you have any footage of me overtaking or being overtaken (silver MR2). was a v busy day but i was having a great time till my engine gave up. weather was great.

cheers

hi james

no probs, don't think i'll be one of the faster m3s on track - still trying to drive it like a noble - really miss the weight over the back end of a mid engined car - you can really put the power down early in the bends compared to the csl.

here are a couple of vids, not watched them yet so not sure if you're in them
