First track day in my Noble M12 GTO3R (Bedford Autodrome, NOVICE DRIVING)

[@maximborodyuk3773]

that's so cool! is it easy to lock up the brakes? I get that car does not have brake bias knob like in a race cars, so very interested in how stock behaves

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Thanks! I locked up a couple of times but only very slightly/momentarily, and I was deliberately trying to find the edge of braking ability. The stopping power is brilliant and it definitely doesn't lock up easily. It has slightly bigger brakes, Pagid RS29 pads and semi floating front discs, not standard brake set up.

@@Rich_Runs_Cars is it brutal over the limit? And what tire setup are you running with this brakes?

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

It's not too bad on power oversteer out of corners, for example - progressive and controllable. But I think mid-engined cars can easily get snap oversteer at speed, and that's probably beyond me to control! It has a lot of grip though. It's running 225/40 front and 265/35 rear. 18" all round.

[@jdm1hunter]

you sure its making quoted power? it only appears to be running 0.5bar when you are giving it some beans. usually need to be running closer to 1bar to be making over 400hp, especially 430hp none the less, looks like a great day of it!

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

The short answer is no, I'm not sure! But I'd noticed that and it's one of the things I'm getting checked when it's in in a few weeks. The map I have shows it made 428bhp running roughly 0.85bar.

[@jdm1hunter]

@@Rich_Runs_Cars that sounds about right, defo worth checking why not reaching 0.85 anymore. 👍

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Thanks - yeah I will do it. Taking it to the experts relatively soon!

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

I did wonder whether it's connected to the Forge actuators "only" having the green springs, but think the remap was done with these in place, so doubt it?! And they should allow higher than 0.5bar anyway, I think?

[@jdm1hunter]

@@Rich_Runs_Cars the ecu controls the boost over the actuator pressure levels, essentially fooling them hence able to run higher boost levels. Unless you have an aftermarket boost controller? If not it could be plumbing to the factory boost controller not plugged correctly, or controller unplugged itself, that would certainly put it back to actuator levels. Or you’ve a button somewhere, disabling the controller. Could be a number of things.
