Alright boys and girls my friend I was helping build this for has too many projects going on and is trying to trim the herd. This project was originally intended to be bodied with a Manx style dune buggy body so it’s modified from the standard AT frame. It’s all AT except no upper cage. Donor...

I’ve noticed one thing this forum lacks is good stickies. As the build and post numbers continue to grow it’s already getting hard to find past information, and a lot of good ideas are buried in individual build logs. Hell mine’s 30 plus pages by now and ain’t nobody got time fer that. So let’s...

Seems like a really good deal, no affiliation.

Someone out there has to have a fuel pump out of the car. I need the empty and full ohm readings of the fuel level sensor wire for my dash display.

Decided my new bodywork needed some bespoke tail lights. I am using the original lights and also some 2.5" led lights. But the real desire to want to do this came from finding some really awesome LED strip lighting. Its very flexible, very bright, and is encased in a rubber translucent material...

I have broken two of the hazard light switches and don't want to buy another, instead I'm going to replace it with a toggle switch. There are three wires on mine: BK/WH (ground) GRY (switch lamp) White (switch signal) Gray and white are both 12V, so it's not just a simple make circuit... Can...

Anyone interested and have $15,000 burning a hole in your pocket? http://www.2040-parts.com/ray-bates-bates-engineering-ecotec-2-0-1500-hp-racing-engine-i1303648/

I know many have referenced the different final drive ratios available and talked about using a different final drive from HHR, but has anyone actually done this swap? I have the tallest (3.63 XFE package) final drive they made in any of these cars and it just isn't suited well to my goblin. I...

This is by far the most complete reference guide for replacement parts that I have been able to find. I always find it interesting to compare which parts are used in different engines. For example the LNF uses the upgraded sodium filled exhaust valves, but the springs and retainers are the same...

Looking to get ideas and see what kind of odd problems or uncommon issues you may have had with your goblin. I’m putting together a little kit to keep in the car and just looking for ideas. For starters I once was driving and had the fuel line pop off the fuel rail. I’ve since replaced that...

Many owners have noticed super aggressive throttle response in the lightweight Goblin. I was playing around in HPT and discovered a very effective throttle bounce mitigation parameter. Go to Engine>Spark>Advance Set spark smoothing to enable. Click on High Torque Gain. Set all cells to .5 and...

There's a few other threads dealing with front wings already but I'm going to try and detail mine from start to finish here. The skeleton of the wing will be 3D printed. I've already done a few test sections and even at low density it's much stronger than I expected. The wing is broken up into...

Anyone considered a way to manually shift the stock Cobalt auto? The Saab 9-3 has a pretty nice manual shift ability for its auto trans, something like that could be just the ticket for a dedicated race goblin. I wonder if this would work? Not much info on it...

Just found out about this. Not applicable to much, just found it interesting. https://cardesignnews.com/articles/concept-car-of-the-week/2017/10/concept-car-of-the-week-gm-ecotec-lakester-2003

I’ve been kicking the idea around of getting rid of the vacuum brake booster for some time. Finally getting around to installing the stainless braided brake lines which replace the 2 rubber GM lines and one intermidiate hard line from DF, and decided that if I was going to drain all the brake...

Desperately wish this was a 6 bolt, I’d have already bought it. But maybe someone else can use it the price is pretty good. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-Cobalt-SS-Fidanza-Lightweight-flywheel-/202600136175

Apologies if this has already been posted. I wish I could use it. 2.0 guys should jump on this. https://zzperformance.com/products/zzp-aluminum-flywheel-2-0l-f35

Anyone else coming to the F1 race this year? Might be fun to try and make a Goblin meet up happen that weekend. October weather can be unpredictable but it hasn’t rained for a race here so far.

Just saw these pop up. No affiliation. https://austin.craigslist.org/pts/d/corbeau-fx1-pro-racing-seats/6610092428.html
