Bio

I’m your average guy always looking for the best bang of performance for your buck while also being unique. I have no formal background with cars, engineering or anything adjacent. I am an ER nurse that likes to tinker and build fun daily drivable cars. Father of two, married living the dream. Been weekend driving the goblin for the past 8 years with zero issues! Most dialed car I own!

How did you find the Goblin?

YouTube video of a goblin beating a GTR in 1/8 mile

What drew you to the Goblin?

The goblin was the cheapest way for me to own a truly unique high performance vehicle requiring some sweat equity which makes anyone love their car more.

How does it fit into your lifestyle?

Weekend warrior

What have you modified that sets it apart?

I believe it may be the only goblin out there with a Toyota MR2 short shifter. Miles better than the stock shifter!

Any memorable trips, races, or events?

Roadtripping to and from local autocross 90 minutes away. Never skipped a beat.

Favorite aspect (design, performance, or community)?

I was drawn to the goblins ease of assembly performance however you quickly learn that the community on the forum is the most helpful least toxic forum on the internet!

Any future plans?

Plans plans plans cooling mods to keep intake temps down, meth injection to get 11.XX sec 1/4 mile and brake proportion valve foe autoX!
