Just spoke to Charlesworth. No news from Noble yet, the mapping is ongoing (as expected). But Simon, who drove the car over to Noble, was very complimentary about how the car drove over there (albeit unmapped), using phrases like "very smooth" and "pulls like a train". He also commented how the fuel consumption on the unmapped cars is usually horrendous, but mine was actually fine.
The rear suspension seems harsh apparently, but that may well be just a result of the car settling on the new coilovers, and can be checked and tweaked as necessary when it returns (the coilover damping is adjustable).
Fingers crossed that it comes back even better from Noble ! :w00t: :biggrin:

haha
good news steve 
My little project - IS200 Turbo - FirebirdPhil - 11-02-2018
yea my coilovers were harsh, so I have them on the medium setting and all is good - not to hard not soft. They will take a while to settle in anyway.

My little project - IS200 Turbo - lexynik - 11-02-2018

great news mate. once you get a dyno post it up mate. post pics up aswell when you get it back

Thanks guys. I'm still hoping to arrange a mini-meet, either for the journey back in the car itself, or soon after I get it back (or both ?). Also I will certainly take *lots* of pics and post them up. I've asked for the dyno graphs from Noble, which I will post. I also plan to take the car down to Surrey Rolling Road (very close to me) to get them to dyno it too.
Hoping for more news on the car later on today.
