    My experience with Moog control arm bushings

    Like most builders, I took the suggestion from others to buy rear lower control arms with the Moog semi-spherical bushings to limit movement on the rear axis. About a year later, I also bought a set for my beater, a 2004 Dream Cruiser (5 speed turbo) thinking it would be the last set of...

    Supercharged LAP tuning thread

    FYI: 10" brakes work on the front

    This is going to sound backwards to some people, but in the quest of clearing the brakes with 15" RPF1s, Adam turned me onto the fact that the 10" base model brakes fit on the front uprights with slight modification to the front hubs. I was using cheap 4x100 x 1" spacers and was looking to get...

    Not for sale anymore.

    This morning, I found out there's no way to make a Goblin legal in WI. I'm still debating going Montana route, but I'd be near the end of Goblin season and I'm feeling like moving on. I'm sure Wisconsin would find a way to get it off the road no matter what. Donor was an 09 Pontiac G5 with the...

    Higher ride height

    Has anyone gotten longer front shocks to gain some ride height? It looks like QA1 PN: DS403 is an inch longer. I'm nearly all the way up on my current ones; only have about 1/2" extend travel when sitting on flat level surface. The roads around here are pretty trashed. My wife scraped a bit...

    Smog/ air injection pump

    Not coming up with much while searching. It would appear that the smog/air pump indicates my G5 is a California car. Is that correct?

    Hello, everyone. Just want to introduce myself. I just put in my order, chassis #182. I've been following the Goblin for about 18 months and finally pulled the trigger. What sparked my interest was the Caterham Super Seven. After research, the Goblin seemed like the most attainable kit car...
