Hi folks

Sorry it says Lotus Exige. There is no category for the Noble.

Mods: Please, instead of deleting my ad please PM me and let me know what category I should use instead. Lotus Exige is closest to the Noble in spec, that is why I chose it.


I picked up this beautiful 06 M400 earlier in the summer. It has around 425whp and is appropriately modded to provide a clean, finished, and reliable-running Noble (eg. new fuel pump, brakes, tunnel mod for interior cooling, etc.).

The plan was to get a scary-fast street car that would work really well on track. And the Noble is PERFECT for this. It rides well on the street (same or better than my Exige), outhandles any Lotus, and will out-gun most exotics and even medium displacement bikes up to at least 100mph.

But lately I'm thinking I might want something just a bit more civil for the street. And a car with a backseat would be nice now that our little one is forward-facing in her carseat. It would be nice to take "Daddy's car" out to dinner for a change.

So I'm contemplating a change in plan. Instead of a track membership in the M400, I aim for HPDE and autocross events in something like a GT-R or a 996 tt. If you have one of these vehicles and are interested in a trade, PM me.

Testing the waters... before I get the Noble prepped for a season (wheels, tires, install the aero I have coming in, etc.) I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to pick it up as-is. It is in great shape with only a few wear/tear rock chips on the rocker panel, a few road wear chips on the wheels, and a cracked headlamp lens (normal for Nobles, apparently). The car runs perfect and is as reliable as any daily driver. I've got all maintenance up to date including oil/filter, belts, air filter, etc. It's a needs-nothing 425whp 2500lb analog rocket. I hesitate even making this post, as I'm so torn about parting with the car.

But I like to keep my options open. PM me if you want more details, more pics, etc.
























•Originally built and maintained by Aaron at Speed Factory in OH. I am the 4th owner.

•7500 miles (1200 put on by me)

•7000 mile maintnenance completed including new plugs, new K&N air filters, newbelts, oil and filter, and full inspection checklist.

•Upgraded intercooler

•Intercooler fans with on/off switch in the ****pit

•Upgraded axle bolts

•Hoover's brake cooling ducting in the front

•Tunnel mod

•Brand new slotted rotors from Hoover on all 4 corners with less than 1000 miles on them. When the 4 rotors were upgraded the brakes were all rebuilt as well.

•6k HIDs (see pics)

•TiAL BOV

•Bosch fuel pump with Hoover's fuel line.

•Aluminum large capacity (8q) high-g oil pan

•Pioneer P8300BT incl Sirius hardware (you just need to register it to your account). ipod/Pandora compatible

•Momo steering wheel, Ultimate Pedals pedals, and TWM shift ****. Looks awesome! (see pics). I still have the original steering wheel if you prefer.

•Originally remapped by Troy and later remapped by Seth at VIR in 2010. The map is a conservative 1 bar and dynoed at VIR at 426WHP.

•Stripes are vinyl and can be removed if not to your liking

•5 point harness in driver and passenger sides. Also has the original seat belts for street convenience.

•Exhaust is a straight pipe with catalytic converters still in place. The exhaust sounds great but isn't too loud.

•Car has been registered in Ohio and Maryland and Louisiana has an OH VIN. Registering was no problem.

•No squeaks or rattles. There is regular wear and tear along the rocker panel and a few chips on the wheels (no rash) that is to be expected from a car with 7000+ miles. There is a small crack on the front-passenger headlamp lens and it was like this when I bought it. It affects nothing so I left it as well.

•Roll bar has been padded

•Build manual and both sets of keys included

NEW PRICE
Asking $54,500

This is the lowest the price will go so I can try to sell the car this winter. If it doesn't sell at this price then I'll keep driving the Noble and relist in the Spring at the original price.

Interested in speaking with you further about the car. Could you email me some contact information as well as some higher resolution pics of the interior/exterior and engine bay? Thanks.

Interests in trading for my 06 Z06 that makes 570rwhp? Perfect daily as it is smooth and quiet, but an awesome track car with exhaust open and just an animal.
