We are hoping the kit you use to install the F40 in place of the F35 also works with our subframe.

We finished the front and rear trans mounts for the F23 and F35 transmissions. We mocked up one side to test fitment, suspension travel, and camber adjustment. We have a few more weld jigs to fabricate and need to have the trans mounts laser cut. The Bosch intercooler pump has to be relocated...

Potential timeline? If all goes well we could be shipping out kits in a couple of weeks.

5/8 bore and shaft 10 total, five per side.

Potential timeline? If all goes well we could be shipping out kits in a couple of weeks. 8 each 5/8 right hand 2 each 5/8 left hand

We are getting close to having all the tooling, weld jigs, CNC programs, and tube notching programs ready for production. We are waiting for a little more hardware to arrive, and some of the fastener lengths will need to be adjusted when we test fit the first couple of production run subframes...

The rear of the Goblin V2 nose is very close to the same profile as the Goblin V1, but the front of the new nose is much wider. It is possible the winshield will be close enough to fit. We will see when we get to that point.

It is weird. LOL But if you think about it, we have been preassembling parts of the Goblin to save our customers time and money with Goblin V1. We are trying to improve our kit by sliding the preassembly further to the finish line. If we offered an unwelded frame kit, would it be more or less...

The decision to pre-assemble the suspension and brakes was mostly to lower the kit cost and allow builders to focus on the more enjoyable portions of the build. I know for some builders, suspension and brakes are just another step in the build but for many, it can be the end of their build. We...

The focus RS has a 2.0 Ecoboost that would work. I have not researched availability or donor cost.

Let's try to move forward and focus on the kit, not the comments. If you guys find 50 things wrong with Goblin V2, that means we designed 9,950 things right. LOL, The forum has toughened our skin over the years. I hoped I would wake up to a flood of potential donors this morning; we all have...

Make and model - VW GTI MK7 and MK7.5 Year available - 2015 thru 2021 Donors available for less than $3000 Turbocharged (yes/no) - Yes Base HP - 228 for the 2020 year model Tuned HP on pump gas without internal mods - 340 WHP (unconfirmed from website)...

While designing Goblin V2, we kept in mind that we would be adding a second donor package in the near future. We would appreciate the Goblin community's input for narrowing down an alternate donor. Please include the following if you would like to suggest a possible donor and make it easy to...

What we looked for in a donor: - Available from 2015-2020 (10 years newer than Cobalt) - Turbocharged version needs to be widely available (as opposed to the Cobalt SS/TC being rare) - Base horsepower over 200 horsepower. Preferably 2 liter or bigger. - Easily tuned to at least 300 whp on pump...

This website shows the auction history through Copart and IAAI. I limited it to a final bid price under $3,000. There were 311 this year. Obviously, not all of these are usable donors (fire damage, flood damage, etc). I'm comfortable saying more than half are usable...

We will do our best to ensure everybody gets enough parts to finish their Goblins. If we decide to have a cut-off date, we will do our best to inform everyone in plenty of time.

For now we are only supporting the computer controlled manual. (DSG).

We actually enjoy talking to our customers. But if not for the forum and you guys we couldn't keep up. With speaking to so many builders we have a good idea of the bottle necks most customers face when building a kit car. And we would like for every Goblin kit sold to be completed and enjoyed...

Goblin V2 is not going to require quite as many parts from the donor as the original Goblin. Below is our target but is subject to (will) change. All basic Goblin V2 kits will be shipped completely assembled less donor and optional parts: The turbo air-to-water charge air cooling system is...

We are offering the original Goblin for at least all of 2024 and parts will be available long after that.
