Bio
I’ve been a car guy all my life. I was a mechanic for many years before I became a dog trainer. I always wanted to build my own car and here I am.
How did you find the Goblin?
My brother in-law turned me on to DF
What drew you to the Goblin?
I love the look of the car. Also the community around the goblin has to be the best there is.
How does it fit into your lifestyle?
Both
What have you modified that sets it apart?
I have all the bolt ons. From the DF shifter to the tube subframe and everything in between . The side panels with the numbers is the only thing I have built myself. I also pretty much have all the group buy items added
Any memorable trips, races, or events?
We live in SE Michigan and car culture is huge here. I love going out and embarrassing a lot of high end cars. I Autocross it every chance I get.
Favorite aspect (design, performance, or community)?
It would be had to pick a favorite. All three are what drove me to building one.
Any future plans?
As with any project. MORE POWER! I would also like to dial in the suspension more for Autocross
