4x100, sorry!

I'm already having second thoughts! I think it is safe to say I will never drive another 4,000 miles as fun and enjoyable as they have been in the Goblin. Also considering removing the price from this post in a few days/weeks and will certainly edit this if it sells or I post to other sites...

I have put about 4,000 miles on my Goblin since it became the first one registered in KS in 2018. I bought frame #20 from Paul along with the ‘07 SS/SC donor parts as well as an additional ‘07 SS/SC engine/transmission/misc that came from an early Ariel Atom. The supercharged LSJ sits in a...

full specs in the wheel and tire thread... Front Wheel - Size / Offset / Bolt Pattern:15x8 / +36 / 4x100 Rear Wheel - Size / Offset / Bolt Pattern: 17x9 / +45 (need spacer) / 4x100

I didnt see the template in my box either. I used some easy to clean finger paint on the outer lip face of the NACA duct and pushed it against some cardboard. then I cut out the middle carefully and did a couple of trial fits with the duct in the cardboard. finally traced the inside of the...

No issues here either with the SC.

I'm going to test it with the 2 in series. Although some have suggested an upgraded pump, my plan is to test and make adjustments if necessary. Pump to 1st HE (horizontal mount in DF location behind radiator using the NACA ducts), then up to the HE mounted in front of the radiator and finally...

Hope everything goes well!

The tabs on the HE I got from the Atom set better against the bottom lip of the radiator positioned that way. It was a little more "secure" for a temp mount. The hoses are squeezed though and I am going to be repositioning soon.

That was a temporary mount so I could get the car registered and test everything. Just did get the NACA ducts installed. I have 2 small HE. One will be behind the radiator fed through NACA. I am going to test the other in front, but it will be repositioned and I am going to fabricate a better...

Looks great and welcome!

Well my first wrap was not exactly smooth, but it looks better than the scuffed fiber glass hood. It is definitely imperfect, but I spent about 10% of the quote I got to paint. I may switch the color eventually, so Im happy enough. Lessons: Watch a lot of videos if you have not wrapped...

Appreciate the responses. I'll probably take a wait and see approach, but generally agree on Keep It Simple and the lack of space. The hydromat is an interesting idea. Thanks

Welcome. Looking forward to your build and good luck with the donor search. You will have a blast

Since I will be running out of fuel soon with e85 + TVS I am thinking about how to best adapt the fuel system. I wanted to get opinions on a fuel surge tank with an additional pump instead of upgrading the pump in the main gas tank. I will be changing injectors and running a return style...
