Noble M500 Upgrades & Overhaul

[craig]

Have you been looking at my new engine and thinking "I wish mine looked like that!"

Errrr, no. Cos then i'd have two new pistons and a turbo left over.

Glad to see your getting things moving again,just a shame that you've got to remove the engine again, it will be rewarding when it's all finished though!

[Magic Beans]

I was wondering when this would kick off again. Hoping to get it done with a bit more time to spare than last year?

Looking forward to seeing it progress though

Such a lovely car but so much invested into it!

Have to confess I've considered an M12 as a possible next-car, I like to think of it as being a bit of an Elise-on-steroids case. How do you rate the M12, standard, as I wouldn't be doing any M400 engine swaps.

[Peter Gidden]

After many evenings removing every ancillery in-situ, the engine is finallly separated from the car.

Not one problem nut or bolt, so my investment of replacing as many as possible with stainless when i installed the engine has paid off.



Now to engine strip down...

Nice work, got a lot to do in the run up to June!

Maybe while the engine is out, you could sort that fuel consumption issue..........oh wait, the issue is just down to the fact it's a Noble.

Peter Gidden finally gets time to work on his own car
Hope the build goes well Peter.

Trev here.

Less than 4 months to go - what car are you following us to Le Mans in this year then?

Hey Trev, the Le Mans support vehicle is a purple 1993 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 Merit.

Pete will more than likely be making the trip in the support vehicle given the time to go to the trip versus current Noble status.

Look on the bright side Pete, at least you'll be able to do the whole trip on one tank of fuel!

That rattling sound and strange smell from your freshly rebuilt car is going to get pretty annoying by the end of the le mans trip Craig
