Hey guys,
I had been looking at the exocet(I come from the Mazda world, I currently have a 600awhp 2006 MS6)
I stumbled across the goblin. I ordered (4/17/2020) my goblin as something to do as a had a possible pandemic furlough coming my way. Of course it never happened and I have been sitting on everything for almost a year. I plan to street drive my goblin
I have been lurking the forums for while now, I even met @RichN , as I also live in NH.
I have been doing quite a bit of work on it before I started this log.
My donor is an XFE which stands for Xtra Fuel Economy. it is the most stripped version of the cobalt they made, didn't even have an arm rest. I didn't take any pics of the car before I tore into it. I am not using the 2.2L L61. it will be replaced with a forged 2.4L LE5
I spent a lot of time looking at the wiring diagrams for the cobalt before I started to rework the harness. I used thin insulation motorcycle wire sourced from 4rcustomswire, they are fairly local to me, but they do free shipping to lower 48 on most products and they do striped wire
I made some modifications to the original design.
knob for gauge dimmer
light bar for a truck tailgate on the wing, it will have running/brake/turns/reverse
"interior" dome light
upsized wires for horn ( I'm using Hella Sharptones )
Front lightbar
wiper controls (trying to reinstall the factory wiper motor)
Remote start
Electronic parking brake motor from e-stopp
footwell lighting
evap can
I've been taking daily progress pics, I'm just gonna dump 'em out
that should bring you all up to date on my progress
