    Goblin vs Ariel Atom

    Just reading about the Ariel Atom. They say they weight 1349 lbs. My extended LSJ Powered Goblin weights 1620 lbs. Anyone have an idea why the A A is lighter? It has like a 100 hp more too.

    Got mine weighted today. What does your weight?

    I didnt have to weight it to register in Montana. But I was curious what it weighted, so I went to a local gravel pit today. It weighted 1620 pounds, with a 1/2 tank of gas, without me in it. I was a little surprised it weighed that much. Extended chassis. Hood and side panels. No fenders. Very...

    Anyone know a dyno tuner in NYs?

    Hi guys! Been driving my LSJ Goblin for over 400 miles now, and it's a blast! I had a partial dyno tune in florida, but the CV shaft pulled out during a pull, so it was never completed. It's still not tuned 100%. Backfires on deceleration sometimes. I was going to bring it back to Ocala this...

    My supercharger is working, about 13psi, but it may be using oil?

    Though I would check my supercharger oil. I added some at first build, about 250 mile ago. Is it supposed to be filled to the plug? Somewhere I read that the capacity is under 4 oz. I just added more than that. What gives?

    Hi there. I previous mounted oil pressure, water temperature, and boost under my sc speedometer.

    Im having problems sealing my fuel pump

    Hi there! I'm having problems sealing my fuel pump. I installed it using the 1/4 " drill. I found out later when putting gas in it that the o ring squeezed out in one area. I readjusted it, and even smoke checked it, which is like 2 psi. I looked good. But now I filled it up and some gas is...

    Ripped a inner CV up.

    I just started driving my car. Supercharged LSJ with big injectors, small pulley, etc. I got a little aggressive. Wound out first to 6 grand, then banged second. I happened to be crossing a highway, and the highway was crowned a lot. The suspension lifted just as I hammered it. It broke the left...

    New problem. Cranks but wont start. Backfires

    I just got thus on the road. I drove to a gas station to fill it up. It leaked outvthe top, so I guess the fuel pump gasket isn't set right. But the purpose of this post is the no start. I had to get it towed back by a good samaritan. Only a mile away. It backfires very loudly through the...

    Ok. It's done. I have indoor storage, but would like a car cover in case I get caught in the rain. Like a weekend event. Has anyone bought a car cover that fits another model? Prowler maybe? Any ideas?

    My Montana plates arrived!

    I highly recommend this! Dont put up with the bull $hit in your state. Register in Montana. It's easy, and may be cheaper. Costs $849 including first year. Sound like a lot? Dont forget sales tax! Montana has none! Many states charge sales tax for the kit car cost AND the doner car! This is...
