So after 3 rounds of Time Attack the Noble was looking a bit sorry for itself and after stuffing her into the gravel at Brands Last weekend I needed some help to get her ready for Oulton park in 2 weeks , thankfully the boys from Jetstream were on hand and today I spent 6 hours there getting her all sorted out !!!! Great service as normal and she is back to good health .
Lots of jobs done as well as some mapping work from Mr Yellowshed .
Roll on Oulton park .

Tux, car looks really nice! Quick question, how come you have blocked the front side vents off? What are you using for the heat / brake cooling?

I noticed that hollow pockets has done the same. Certainly makes the Noble looks more striking than with the vents!

I've been looking at that gravel trap and it looks like Druids, is that right Simon? if so you must've out-braked yourself unless you had someone dive up the inside of you?? More detail required!!!! I bounced across Paddock Hill gravel several times and its not pleasant, did quite alot of body work damage!!! yikes

Hi Guys , yes its Druids , out braked myself trying to find a bit of time !! thankfully no damage to the car .
front vents blocked off to improve the front aero and decrease the drag , works very well . no need for extra brake cooling when running the larger Jetstream vented disc's with the pagid pads .

The vents you refer to on a standard car feed the heater not the brakes... I blanked mine up a while back as air going in them actually creates lift in the front arch, its the cheapest and simplest mod to increase the cars downforce at the front smile

Of cause you need to find alternative feed to the heater system.

Makes sense Andy! Only question would be what about the tunnel cooling on two turbo cars? Also where do you pick up the air for the heater?
