    F35 shift cable mount issues

    Small chance I have mine laying around from my transmission swap if I can remember to poke around tonight.

    What is this? Giant square U bolt.

    Any chance the early kits used these instead of straps for holding the fuel tank somehow?

    F35 shift cable mount issues

    That's a DF supplied part, and it's been a few years since I had an F35 in my Goblin, but I believe there's a Cobalt part that goes under it too. Hopefully someone else can provide a clearer answer.

    I assume that's related to this post from a while back:

    What’s this?

    That's correct, although it may not make sense to use all or any of the existing hose with the routing of your intake pipe. When the intake manifold is in vacuum (cruising), air is being pulled into the crankcase through that port on the valve cover and then into the intake manifold through the...

    What’s this?

    Evap purge solenoid, you do not need it unless you're running an evap system with canister. You would only need this if you are required to retain all your emissions equipment. If you do not use it, you will need to cap a port, I think this is normally connected to the barb on the throttle body...

    All Golf R's in certain years are AWD, can the manual and DSG transmissions be used in a Goblin kit?

    I came across a post and lost it claiming that the AWD MQB transmissions are basically just FWD transmissions with a different passenger side output housing with a "bevel box" in VW terminology. That whole assembly is pictured here. I'm sure someone that knows VW the way most folks here know...

    All Golf R's in certain years are AWD, can the manual and DSG transmissions be used in a Goblin kit?

    Full disclosure, I know very little about VWs specifically, but my thoughts are as follows... I believe on AWD Hondas, the transfer case that sends power rearwards is fairly plug and play. I think in many older applications, the transfer case can be unbolted and a cover installed to delete the...

    Josh's MN Track Goblin #379, 08 LS donor

    I don't have any basis for this besides my gut, but do you really think the stamped steel control arm would flex more than the cast aluminum arm? I figured part of the reason for the two different parts was weight, but I hadn't really considered that the stamped steel arm might not be as strong...

    Josh's MN Track Goblin #379, 08 LS donor

    I wonder if this would be easier/cheaper to replicate with the FE1 stamped steel arms? Instead of welding cast aluminum. edit: I wonder if the Moog K201285 spherical bearing bushing that fits the FE3/FE5 aluminum control arms also works with the FE1 control arms? Otherwise, scratch that idea.

    Pisco's extended city goblin #220 (2009 SS/TC donor)

    I still think some clarification is needed on the sequence of events. Did you ever run the engine on stock parts and stock tune? Then you installed the cams, valve springs, Opel fuel rail, aluminum flywheel, e85? You started the engine after these parts were installed and it started and idled...

    Joe's 2009 F40 SS/TC #470

    Keep in mind, off the top of my head, '07 and newer donors run the high beams at half voltage (PWM 50%) for DRLs, while the '05-06 Cobalts run the parking lights as DRLs. If you don't have the ambient light sensor hooked up and the headlight switch is in Auto, I'm pretty sure it defaults to the...
