    My goblin is......

    Fixed. Disabled VATS, all EVAP codes, and the catalyst protection, then bumped the line pressure for firmer shifts. Then, I pulled apart the cluster to deal with the pesky security light using a new piece of electrical tape

    I did a quick D/T operation to re-thread the headlight bungs to M10 for my build.

    Early Year Model Vs Late Year Model

    Early vs late is goi g to vary by the vehicle system being described.

    Seats

    Seat widths don't need to match. My seat is 15" wide, and the passenger seat in my car is 17" wide.

    Goblin Rear Control Arms

    I had them on mine up until I installed the OTTP delrin bushing kit; they don't fit properly over the new pivot pin.

    Oregon/ General questions for DMV

    I'm up in Snohomish County, but when I registered mine the total was just under $600 (including the transit permit and scalehouse fee). http://dfkitcar.com/forum/index.php?threads/karls-track-goblin-no-40-2008-lt-registered.273/post-37772

    Torque Wrench

    I'm all about that split beam goodness. Micrometer torque wrenches can eat my entire ass and my Snap-On digital is only good at corroding/oxidizing its battery terminals. https://www.torqwrench.com/products/split-beam-clicks/3-8-drive-split-beam-click-wrench-c2fr100f/...

    Devo's Extended Track #381 - 06 SS/SC Donor

    The two of you are using different nuts. @Devo is using strut nuts from the donor, and you look to be using nuts supplied with the kit hardware or sourced elsewhere. The donor hardware is much taller than what you're using.

    Floyd's City #180 - 2006 SS/SC - 3rd Round

    I used eyebolts as anchors at either end and ran 1/8 inch wire rope with thimbles and aluminum ferrules. Covered the sharp ends of the cable with heat shrink tubing. The tools I used were $30-ish online.

    Headlight Recommendations and Radio Wiring Questions

    I just combined my running light wire with my low beam wire going to the headlights, so my setup is high, low/running, and ground; front turn signals run to the side mirrors. I used the JW Speaker model 6130 IIRC, but if I was starting over or wanted to redo the headlights, I'd use the model 8632.

    Mahkoi's #299. Ext Track. SS Turbo.

    I don't have that experience because I always wear a full face helmet, and as long as I don't open my visor while fueling, people don't try to tell me about how cousin's ex-boyfriend's sister's college roommate was building a twincharged buggy out of their old Neon
