With your average car, when you upgrade the performance it generally devalues the car. I'm told that
Doesn't apply to a noble? My M12 is going in to jet stream for a helix clutch and to add 75bhp from
Standard. What are your thoughts guys?

If the engine's coming out to do the clutch and your adding more power, you might want to get the gearbox sent away to the gearboxman at the same time unless it's alrady been done?
You'll be sorry if you don't.

I'm keeping mine standard (apart from upgrading parts as they need replacing), that said I had Yellowshed remap it and it's a massive step forward in driveability and also upped it 60bhp (was only making 320bhp due to weak actuators). When I fit an LSD then I'll have it done again, it's plenty for the road and I don't track it although another 30hp or so wouldn't hurt!

So very true :-)
I absoluetlly loved my car when it was standard, was 100% reliable, did tens of thousand of miles in it etc etc.... I started with mild mods and its just snowballed lol
