    Fuel gauge accuracy?

    I don't remember the specific way I bent my float rod, I think I just did whatever the video said. I have learned that when the needle comes off of full, that tank is about half way down. I haven't ran it out of gas yet but I know when it's on E it still has SOME fuel.

    Robinjo #405 Full Cage - 2006 SS/SC Build "Drago"

    I had this happen. Within two miles of me getting good tires I had both side mirrors cracked. I never saw them get broke but when I came out of the restaurant to go home they were in pieces. Another opportunity to upgrade or make your ride even more unique.

    Robs Iowa Goblin

    Oh cool! I have a brother that lives right in that area. It has been a few years since I went through that process. Basically, I had to set up an appointment and meet with an inspector who gave me a VIN on the spot. How far are you from that point? Looks like you are wanting to get on the road...

    Taking a plunge into machining

    With my Goblin being 95% where I want it. I am moving on to other bucket list hobbies that I want to take on. I blame the Goblin for kinda ruining car projects for me. They all seem pretty tame now. I am by no means getting rid of the Gob, but rather want to integrate the lathe into projects. I...

    You know what’s more fun than finishing your goblin?

    That's super rough but I feel your pain. I had rear main seal leak shortly after assembly, this will be a very similar procedure to fix. http://dfkitcar.com/forum/index.php?threads/lukes-city-frame-goblin-07-ss-sc-registered.795/post-45968 I was able to separate and remove the trans with the...

    No Power, How Do I Test Issues?

    Some easy things to try are things like, making sure your key is off and headlight switches are turned off when attaching the battery cables. A small spark is normal but if large could be a sign of an issue. Yes, the negative cable goes to the threaded rod on the side of the battery holder...

    Cobalt Potential

    I was reading something similar about the Toyos that I put on this season. I am not sure if it is a wife's tale or legitimate. I figured I'd stash the summer tires in the house and through on the donor wheels to roll it around. Just to be safe.

    Cigarette Lighter Port / Plug Wiring

    That depends on what you are planning do do with the port to some degree. If you want power all the time you can use a battery power pink wire from the BCM. If you only want power to the plug when you have the key on find a BCM wire to plug into that is key power. You will want to make sure the...

    Brake booster repair

    I did manage to get this booster back together after this. It has been a while but I think I just kinda pressed it together by hand and it held. It has been on the car and on the road for 3 years since with zero signs of issues.

    P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction

    I am finally confident that I have this issue resolved. I have not been updating this adventure as it has been frustrating enough to deal with as I fought it but wanted to give closure to the issue and help anyone with similar issues. The fix was to replace the PCM. I bought a replacement from...

    Sorry. I am just seeing this message. I didn't want to post anything til it has come to a conclusion but I should have it going now. It took a new computer and finding a compitent tuner to get it working. I won't be able to get the car from the tuner til tomorrow. I want to give it a thorough...
