    Great donor in South Dakota

    https://www.iaai.com/VehicleDetail/38412184~US 2009 SS/TC, 82k miles, rollover, R&D. I'd be shocked if this one goes for more than $1k.

    Considering building a FFR Mk4 roadster (lord help me)

    I'm considering building a FFR Mk4 roadster using a wrecked 2011-2014 Mustang GT donor, and as such, I've been watching Coyote donors over the past week to gauge going rate. I saw one sell today in my state, for $3,225. It was a run-and-drive, front end wreck. Looked ugly but apparently all...

    "Sticky" brake lights

    Noticed this morning on my way in to work, that my brake lights are "sticking" on, a bit. Every time I brake, they stay on for a little while after I let off the pedal to accelerate again, and they may or may not go off. I cannot adequately say at this point, whether jiggling the pedal helps...

    [SOLD] HP Tuners MPVI2 - $250

    Hello fellow Goblineers. I am looking to recoup my costs on this HP Tuners MPVI2. I'm 100% satisfied with my tune as-is and don't see myself dabbling any further into tuning, so I am fine with passing this unit on to someone else. New MPVI2's cannot be found at this point; HP Tuners only...

    Am I missing something here?

    As seen in the Facebook "DF Goblin Owners Group"; What am I missing? What makes this build the "stupidest goblin build"? Looks like a fine A/T to me. I'd ask but it's my wife's FB and don't want to start trouble on her account, ya know?

    Potentially nice LNF donor located in NC, $2000

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1098842811006975 Unfortunately, it's immobile due to a transmission problem, but it'd make a nice donor in this day and age of inflated-price used cars.

    DF Goblin #187 - Ride Along

    Hey guys. I pulled down the original video and replaced it with a new version that has audio. The external mic worked pretty well, I think. Again, I know this is not exciting material for anyone that drives one of these cars daily, or in auto-x or track. But the target of these videos is...

    Anti-Theft Thread (Don't steal my wheels!)

    Let's use this thread to present our thoughts on preventing the theft of our hard work, our Goblins. I don't know how this has never occurred to me before ... but think about it for a sec. For those of us with manual transmissions, what exactly is preventing someone from just hopping in the...

    Seeking a very specific picture

    Hello, Anyone that happens to have a moment and a camera, can you please do me a favor and post a pic of the front top suspension arm, where the Heim joint turns into it and attaches to the DF wheel hub? Either side is fine. I am specifically wanting to see the threads of the Heim joint...

    Just saw this car...

    Just saw this (exact) car, sitting in the parking lot in a shopping center in my little backwater town of Willow Street, PA. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2018-velocity-exo/ Pretty sweet. The idea of an open diff in a V8 terrifies me though. I did not expect to find out it was a 4.2L V8...

    Memory Lane

    I replaced my phone this past weekend because, stupid me, I dropped my old one a few months back and cracked the screen. It was approaching 3 years old anyway, and while it galls me to ever replace a working phone, Xfinity was offering a $300 prepaid card to replace your phone with a new...

    Goonzquad gets the Goblin out for a little rippin'

    They're rebuilding a Tesla Model X, but they dug the Goblin out and gave it some road time. It hurts me a bit that they leave the Goblin, forgotten and buried in their garage, but I guess if I want to be real about it, I might do the same thing if I had a Lamborghini, Ferrari(s), Viper...

    It's just a Cobalt, guys...

    I'm always amused when I see these types of comments. We're not taking apart a Lamborghini here, people ... it's just a Cobalt. Aidan, whoever you are on the DF forum, if you're here ... don't worry about ripping apart a wrecked SS/TC sedan, you're about to help it evolve into something bigger...

    L23O shifter hardware kit, just cover shipping $$$

    So a while back, Lonny and Adam acquired some hardware bits and assembled them into a kit to replace the plastic clasps on the stock Cobalt shifter. They sold these through their web store for $45 + shipping. I picked one up ... but then @SACTX set up his brilliant solid shifter group buy, and...

    400# springs on the front, #300 springs on the back

    An edit: New builders who opt for the BC Racing coilover option for their Goblin, you put the 400# springs on the front and the 300# springs on the back. New builders who opt to use the Cobalt struts on the rear suspension, you put the 300# springs that come with your kit on the front, and cut...

    Audio Options

    I was thinking about audio options for the Goblin this morning and thought it might be nice to have a focal point on the forum (this thread) where we can lay out our audio options and discuss pros/cons, and maybe give each other some ideas. Through my late teens and 20's, I was pretty into car...
