    2024 Locost Gathering

    Things are not looking very good for the Nebraska contingent. The Goblin and OLDB1 will not be showing- since the Gobin has no paperwork/plates and currently missing back wheels. The Stalker is ready to go- I think (not much opportunity to test drive much in the current weather). I also still...

    Here is the turbo outlet solution we came up with to miss the rear frame member we shortened and turned the stock turbo outlet in an old lathe- it would have been prettier if i had access to my own shop but we are very crunched for time at this point so it will have to do for a little bit. Our...

    Sorry man. I did manage to get ahold of Lisa in the front office the other day. I was so surprised that she picked up I forgot half the questions I needed to ask. but she said she is currently the only office worker so if she gets up to go to the warehouse or on one line then it goes to...

    LaunchPad's Super Stalker

    I never was a fan of the "dune buggy" style headlights so i whipped up something a bit more fitting to the stalker look while waiting on goblin parts. what ya all think? i ran into a few issues. . . apparently i had the hood open sooooo darn long that it warped the shape of the fiberglass so...

    Has anyone talked to goblin HQ lately? i have a bunch of parts on order and requested our MSO via email and called over a dozen times.

    oh good golly what a mess! i will be cancelling my current tubing order got one. the "U" is definitely a fair bit short of 180. The only MAP pipe I have located is 3" guess we go back to the drawing board.

    Also, while I was at Oldb1's shop we looked at engine mounting. . . Luckily the engine bolts and former seat bolts we need turned up after some shop cleaning. However, we never did not get the hardware pack "K21D" with the spacers as referenced in the video. So still no EZ-buttons for us. lol...

    We got our kit after an estate auction of a friend that passed away after the car did not sell for the reserve that the kids had placed upon it. the kit had also been in storage from 2018 thru 2023 so many of the parts could not be accounted for at the auction. that is one big reason it has been...

    Also if you reference the photo above: the last chrome-ish AIR tubing headed into the intercooler can anyone identify that particular bend? would it likely be included in a universal kit? i am pretty sure i will need to source 135 degree bend for the throttle body hook up separate from a...

    a question regarding the intercooler liquid plumping. . . somewhere i found a schematic but not on this computer presently. i believe this system is closed loop- is that correct? does it in any way tie into the radiator coolant overflow bottle? i found this picture of a T- with a flush fill cap...
