550whp?!?!? That's going to be back to the future fast. Definitely want a ride in it.

Yeah buddy!

Oh, new diffuser installed too. I think it looks pretty sweet. Much better than some of the lotus ones that extend way back with huge fins.

Also installed an OMP Superquadro steering wheel, but I don't think I'm going to keep it. It's a bit smaller, but the bad part is the top is much shorter and blocks the tops of the gauges. I think I will probably get a Momo Mod 80 Evo in suede, which is very similar to the stock one, but slightly better grip and suede instead of leather.

Wow that is sweet! Aero is so hawt but so spensive.

[asshanson]

Agreed on aero being hawt but expensive. Fortunately the diffuser was cheap because I helped the company make the Noble prototype and organized the group buy.

Next aero mods are some vortex generators, higher wing mount, and smaller profile carbon mirrors.

Totally different subject, it's super easy to get a kit car title in Iowa. I've heard many horror stories of NY and CA where you have to wait months for all these forms to be filed to get an OBDII exemption, smog exemption, etc. Next Thursday I have an appointment with a DOT inspector, and from what I heard they mainly just check that you have lights, seat belts, mirrors, etc, and then just want to talk about cars for awhile haha. Should have my Iowa plates in a few weeks, good bye sales tax money :(

Looks awesome!! Great news on the title too, hope that goes smoothly.

Looking good! Bummer about the wheel.

Big plans for the winter. A guy who builds/tunes these cars in Ohio is selling his entire setup and doing an LS swap. I purchased everything but the motor/trans from him, including two BW EFR 6258 turbos (rated 44 lbs/min each), full 3" v-band exhaust, 60lb injectors, full wiring harness + ford ecu, etc. This is from his personal car, so I know everything is in great shape.

The turbos have way more power capability than the stock GT28R's, with slightly quicker spool, win-win. The standalone MBE ecu that came on the Noble doesn't have the best street manners, the Ford ecu conversion should help a lot in this regard. This is what the Rossion Q1 comes with (the now US-made equivalent of my car), so it's all plug-n-play for the ECU conversion.

He is currently packaging it all up and sending it next week, I'll take a bunch of pics when I get everything, plus the install of course. Setup should be good for around 500whp on 16psi. Easily capable of over 650 with e85 and fuel upgrades if I ever decide to get crazy.

very nice. so the ecu is already tuned for that set up so you dont have to do it?
