V1 Track Day Monster 2009 SS/TC Track Frame

[ctuinstra]

I do not have coil overs. If I do run into problems, I can remove part of the bracket to gain some room.

 

[dperkins]

I have them. When the frame is done and my tires and wheels are mated I'll check the clearance.

 

[dperkins]

Show off those new shoes, pictures. Please

For your viewing pleasure .

My hand for reference.

Don’t both of you have the coil overs? I think coil-overs give you more room, there’s no way 265 would fit on stock struts unless it was 0 offset wheel.

Based on pictures, it doesn't look like coilovers offer much additional clearance with regard to section width. Could definitely run a taller tire with coilovers though, since the spring seat wouldn't be a limiting factor anymore.

Man, they look awesome! What are the stripes for, manufacturing purposes?

 

[BaltimoreHokie]

Those do look sweet. Your garage looks like a goblin exploded.

 

[theeulogy]

Wow, those are almost as wide as the tires on my SS!

 

[Waterdriver]

Those are going to look nice on the car!

Yeah, pretty sure they have no purpose.

I definitely need to do some cleanup from all the things I have in the garage.

You could lay out all the parts and do one of those exploded views pictures of "all parts to assemble a Goblin".
It would be a cool pic, but a lot of work.

As waterdriver requested :

That is all in the stages I was sent, minus the frame and the floorboard and the gas tank. I seem to be missing my intercooler, exhaust, and my main wiring harness I sent them to complete.

This is everything I will be putting on the car (minus the tank, subframe, and a few big sheet metal bits). Hope this is what waterdriver wanted!

You just made this look like a bigger project.

 

[Waterdriver]

That's looks awesome!
Mind if I use that as my desktop background at work?
You know, to help keep me motivated.

Go right ahead!!

 

[ctuinstra]

Yep, that's a long way to go!

Tried out my powder coating today. Got one part of the caliper done just to try it out. Works really well, and it was quite easy. I got great results for my first time.

What kit do you have? I considered getting a cheaper kit myself.

Is that a powder coating kit from Eastwood that your using?

I am actually using an electric powder coat gun by craftsman. It was 40 dollars on eBay, and it works pretty well.
