Morning guys , thanks for the input !,,
A sore arm and felt a bit crappy the next day after the jab but other than that fine π
Iβm rubbish at photo shopping stuff too unfortunately, will speak to Neil at the Signteam too see if they can photoshop some stuff up !
I still really miss Time Attack , such a buzz I even think the car misses the racing ππ
Yes I like the idea of a larger Center stripe then 2 pinstripes up either side π
Will see if I can get it photoshopped !

First of all great to hear you are doing well. Kidneys are playing ball, awesome to hear. The last photo of the Noble, is that the most current one? I can't remember seeing it in this color. It looks great. No thatβs from 10 years ago πππ the most recent is the one with the Jaguar plane !

Well still managing to find jobs to do on the Noble ! My knackered Momo steering wheel was looking in aright state after 5 years of hard use so I sent it off to be sorted , also my lovely image billet wheels looked in a hell of a state so they were sent to a local polishing company to be striped and refurbished !! A set of brand new Trofeo R Tyres was also fitted ready for the spring . Chuffed to bits with the results !, Hope everybody is staying safe , I have just received my date for the first Vaccine jab which is a relief !,

Well happy new year to everybody , holy knows what 2021 will hold . rebuild work on the Noble has been continued through the winter , a list of jobs after our summer exploitation was not long but important. getting the heater to work and the blowers to blow cold air when needed was the first challenge , in the summer the blower pulled air from the radiator and heated up !! I manufactured I new alloy outer box the cover over the heater box then heat wrapped it all , I also heat wrapped the main radiator panel to stop some heat soak !! I new water supply from the water pump to supply hot water to the heater box , thankfully this has sorted the issues ! along with general cleaning the rear wing has been polished to remove some sticker marks , the engine bay has been thoroughly cleaned and polished ! The image 3 piece wheels were in a hell of a state so have been sent away to be refurbished along with brand new Trofeo R tyres fitted ,I have also sent the steering wheel away to be re covered ! roll on summer !! ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/tuxman/890f61060e0d.jpg) ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/tuxman/5d9a16fa557b.jpg) ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/tuxman/9642de53b347.jpg) ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/tuxman/ea333ac1543e.jpg) ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/tuxman/f1cf73bce116.jpg) ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/tuxman/ba93a1620936.jpg) ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/tuxman/7b654ec875c6.jpg) ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/tuxman/ab67d6ba1d8c.jpg) ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/tuxman/ef90ec7c13a5.jpg)

Always enjoy your updates Have you considered some black vinyl on the side intake and duct? Its very green! I have to admit there has been some talk of some strips !!! Trouble is we are so used to seeing it covered in race stickers !

Amazing thread, I've read the lot over the past couple of nights. What a roller coaster. I love that the car is going back to a road car. How did you make those door cards they look amazing? Hope everything is going well health wise. Thanks for taking the time to write the thread. I appreciate how long it all takes. Cheers! Iβm looking forward to getting her back on the road but also being nice to drive >!! I took a mould off the std door cards them moulded off that !! Itβs a pain job but pleased with the results !! health is very good !! Thanks for asking π itβs been a fantastic Journey so far ! Hopefully with many more miles to come !

Well good evening gang , last Wednesday was Dyno day so me and the Noble headed for Noble Motorsport in Chesterfield for a mapping session to map the engine on the new smaller turbos !! Not the best of days π© Arrived at 9.30 unloaded and popped the car in the rolling road bay and waited ..........and waited ...........finally at 11 oβclock the mapper turned up and started to strap her onto the RR so we actually started at 12 oβclock π©π©π© Again picked the warmest day of the bloody year π‘π‘ It became apparent pretty early on that my full race engine did not like the small road spec turbos and was not happy , the new turbos started producing boost from 2500 rpm which was good but the cams did not work until 5000 so by the time the engine really wanted to go the turbos were puffed out ππ Peak power was not too bad in the end with 540bhp on full boost but the torque was well down with only 380ftlb !!! The engine normally makes 500ftlb of torque so there is work to do over the winter !!! Car should still feel pretty brisk though and the power and torque curves are very good with good power from 3000 rpm to 7000 !!!! Now the last push to get her back on the road ππ

Well another cracking few days , interior is all done , all the rear lights have been sorted after lots of loom issues I decided to make a new loom !! Also converted the twin wiper system to a single central wiper !! Very pleased with how that came out ! Actually has the car outside πππ On the Dyno on Wednesday so fingers crossed !!!!
