Nothing to look at again Paul - that is exactly the same make that I had on my Evo 6. 
I've still got it in my workshop although they are make/model specific so no good for the Noble out of the box.
I was the first English owner to have one fitted in an Evo. Very easy to install an setup and great to use.
You still need to use the clutch (you cannot flatshift unless you run a dogbox) but the speed of shift is super-quick. Certain leading Asia-Pacific Rally Championship cars ran them until they fell foul of the homologation rules. The lever needed a definite and positive tug/push and so a powershifter (like the one you have linked to) would not have enough power to move it.(I looked into that too!)
E'mail me if you want any more info - I could adapt one to work on a Noble, I've often thought about it but I think the costs would be too high.
Cheers

Lee told me last saturday that "you can't have a neutral between every gear" so only auto's masquerading as sequentials are legal on UK roads...
But every H gate box has a neutral between every gear??????? Its the bit in the middle you have to cross to get to the next gear. Shurely shome mishtake....

Sure thats wrong, the road legal Radical has a sequential box.
Yep, as do bike powered caterfields, palmer JP1 and TVR were talking about one for the typhon weren't they?
Quaife do a sequential 6 speed box that would fit a noble 
stronger and a proper sequentiual box
its about 6k - but could be a great mod to a noble
www.quaife.co.uk/products/gearboxes.htm
its the fwd type as already fitted to the noble because of the engine configuration
any takers ?

If it's the same one I looked at months back its good for 280 BHP.
There are sequential boxes that will fit and can handle the torque but have £15K+ for the box alone before you've had the custom bellhousing made and the drive shafts with balancer and the gearchange mechanism and then adapted the chassis for it to fit......
If it was easy someone would have done it by now.

When I looked into this a while back there wasn't a great solution for palatable money. All the people selling FWD gearboxes were expecting, not unnaturally, for their kit to be used in a FWD car. You start saying 400ft/lbs+ and they start laughing saying sure, no problem, you'll never get that power down anyway. State it's RWD with loads of grip they go all quiet and start scratching their chins....

Have you looked at Hewland gearboxes? Still very expensive though!

paul - you need to ring them and discuss it with them
they can build you pretty much anything you want
the 6 speed box in the noble was fitted to the focus st170
with the correct bearings fitted and the gears and final drive shot peened and polished it could take a LOT more power than it currently does
for example I have a BC type gearbox that was fitted to a FWD ford - after destroying several gearboxes I got one developed that now reliably takes over 400 bhp - it was rated at 130 bhp originally
what actually breaks in the gearbox - is it the diff or the gears / bearings themselves ?
