Sneak Peek - Goblin V2

[aaronc7]

Hi all, just joined to express my interest in this as well. Always wanted to do a kit car and it's been a while since I had a big car project, so maybe the time is now. I've also been pretty involved with several MK7/Simos18 tuning efforts and eager to dig into that aspect as well. If I can be of any help for development and testing, please let me know.

Secret pictures on the forum?
Drivers perspective.

Whaat? No paddle shifters?

Does @Lonny know your dropping pictures of the double super secret prototype on the forum? Is this officially sanctioned...or did you change your name to Assange? LOL!!!

 

[Ross]

Lonny let me take pictures.... and I didn't ask about publishing rights.
The prototype is a work in progress, so I am guessing that the paddle shifters are just not fabricated yet.

They have an edit button if need be

 

[Robinjo]

I asked and he said take as many pictures as you want. That he wanted info to get out about it.

I really like that dash. What are they using?

 

[Ross]

Lonny set a V1 hood on the prototype, as he didn't have the V2 hood yet. That back of the car is still naked frame.
He said that this is the second V2 frame, as the first V2 frame was revised so much, that he started over.
It is coming along nicely!

That's great news Lonny. Will help put some concerns for V1 builders at ease. Thanks!

Agreed, it's great news for me and makes me feel less pressured lol

I kid... pretty cool!

 

[aaronc7]

Great to see it on the road!

I've been getting pretty excited about all of this, being patient sucks.

I think I've mostly figured out a good immo off solution for the ECU and TCU that is pretty much free and happy to share with everyone. If the donor car mostly works, should be able to flash it all on the donor over OBD port and not require any sort special flashing tools or cracking the ECU open etc.

It would be a crying shame to piece up such a well-built machine

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

The V2 is currently using the DSG automatic transmission. I'm sure the 6 speed can be messaged to fit. Im sure it won'tbe too long before DF also includes the manual transmissionas an option.

Somebody put way too much money into that thing... Don't worry though, idk how much it'll go for, but definitely over $10k.

Yeah the widebody kit alone is $3k, the dashboard like $1200. I wouldn't be sad if I actually won...

Things to sell to get your money back.

Well, add a zero to both of those after you factor in the paint, labor, crazy parts, etc...
