    Frank's Florida Street Goblin Build (#227) - 06 SS, 2.4L donor

    I'm the only one one that didn't spend $50k plus on their car and can still afford a few luxuries. And I'm the only one without a roof.

    5x114.3 Bearing Hubs

    Since I wanted wider tires on 9" rims I just had custom 32mm adapters made. Converting the 5x110 to the 5x114.3

    Quickest build?

    Working alone It took me 8 days to get the car together & drive it around the yard. Of course that does not count the time to get the frame, prep it & get it powder-coated. I had everything else prepped & painted and it was pretty much just a bolt together process. Getting the hood & sides...

    I found this setup on Ebay and am running it in my 2.4 NA. No issues. I believe Stage-2 is rated for 411 Ft/Lb of Torque.

    Frank's Florida Street Goblin Build (#227) - 06 SS, 2.4L donor

    They are and they are not. I have the stock "wide" fenders on the front on my 245's. In back I took a set of "wide" fenders, cut them in half and added a 1-1/2" strip down the middle to fit the 275's. Then wrapped in Carbon Fiber.

    Release of Liability

    I sold a partially built "homebuilt" KR-2 airplane many years ago. I had the buyer sign that I sold it to him to be used as a "Static Display" model only (not meant for flight). Anything he did beyond that was on him. Good idea to protect yourself. People are sue crazy.

    Instrument Dimmer

    That is how mine works. Withe the headlights in AUTO or ON the instrument lights are dim. When I manually turn the headlights to OFF the instrument lights get bright. No matter what I do to the "Ambient Light" sensor, nothing changes. Also tried another sensor & no change. It would be...

    Instrument Dimmer

    The video shows the Purple & Green dimmer switch wires to be soldered together. This has been done so I assume this is setting it for max brightness which I do not have.

    Instrument Dimmer

    Yes, I have a new Ambient Light Sensor. If I cover it up nothing changes.

    Instrument Dimmer

    Is there a way to wire the dimmer for more brightness? I can not read my coolant temp, fuel range etc... in daylight.

    Is this possible?

    Don't do it. In Florida it's a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. Worst case do what I did. Tag & Title in Montana then once you have a valid title do a Florida title transfer & get a Florida Tag. You need any help feel free to...
