V1 SmsDetroit Registered!!! Extended Track Goblin 09 Turbo SS

[jirwin]

Went to SOS today and filed all my paperwork. Now to wait 8-12 weeks for a final inspection and title

FYI be expecting it sooner than that. With all the lockdown bs they were way ahead of schedule and I only had to wait 3 weeks. This was a while ago, but still.

A little more progress today. Got my button panel installed

I'm in Michigan as well, and getting ready to scrap the donor. Did you need to present the title of the Cobalt to SOS? Wondering if the scrappers would need me to surrender the title when I scrap the donor whole, or if I cut it up in pieces like you, I'd get to save the title for the registration of the Goblin.

Cut it up, don't bother with the state goonies and keep your title.

I cut mine up and kept the title. When I turned all my paperwork in they took the title from me. I’m now just waiting from the state person to come out to put a vin on the frame so I can register it

One step closer.

Cool! What windshield option are you going with? I see that MI requires safety glass rather than plexiglasses

I used the DF windshield. The cop that signed off on my TR54 didn’t care. He’s a good client of mine. Let’s up the final inspection is the same.

First off the Vors wheels look great. Now apparently I can’t math. The front are 8.5” wheels with 255/40R18. They fit fantastic. Lock to lock with no rubbing. The rears are 9.5” wheels with 275/55R18 the passenger side has about 1/4” clearance and the drivers you can fit a piece of paper in between. I rechecked camber on the drivers side and it’s at -2 deg. Does anyone think putting a camber kit in and pulling a deg out would give me enough clearance. Or should I just put small spacers in.

Tire's tread move around during cornering. The sidewalls flex.
I would buy spacers... 1/2" or 3/4".

[SmsDetroit]

Ordered them. Cost was reasonable $90 each with studs to replace the hub studs. But then they were like oh it will be 3-5 weeks to make them unless you want to buy a “fast pass” and expedite your order to the front of the line for $100. Then we can have them to you next week.

Yeah, I've never dealt with them but have been looking at the options. There are other options, especially if you can just go thin enough for slip on spacers.

Same **** they told me, And that is when I took my hubs/rotors to a local machine shop and had them re drilled for 150$ the next day.

I think the 5/8 spacers were the right call. Before and after.
