What do you not like about your Goblin

[JBINTX]

I do not feel I have those issues. Love launching from the light. Always drive faster than traffic looking for a race.

Brad: I wish I were your neighbor. I would drive around just looking for you.............

You would not have too look for me I would tell you where I was going.

I only have a few small things that bug me about the car. I'd like it to have a little more storage area and I'd like it to have more fuel capacity. Neither of these are a big deal but I have a ~500 mile cruise planned for this weekend that getting everything that I'll need for my passenger and myself without having luggage on our laps for 9 hours it getting tricky. I'm sure there are ways around this but I haven't got there yet.
The only reason these are issue is because of how good the car is at cruising. I was very surprised by that.

temporary roof rack?

Perhaps mods for a tow hitch and a small trailer? That might be dangerous though.

I find it interesting that almost all the items listed here are really good opportunities for Lonny and Adam to improve the kit or for others to provide some value add services. Little is said about poor craftsmanship or kit contents. Most of the items are creature comforts. Speaks volumes about how much effort the DF folks put into making a great kit.

Traffic lights, Stop signs, and idiots in the other lane. That is the biggest reason for selling mine. I enjoyed driving the car just not where I live at.

Having family in Pitt is it the hills or the idiots that pull part way into the road/intersection?

Daytime running lights - bright ones - can help that, but you can't fix stupid.

Edit: a couple these and there is no one won't see you coming down the road.

I'm doing this mod. I want to be able to a bicycle rack on the back. Just welding a 1.25" hitch receiver right thru the middle of the GM subframe.

Agreed! I’m currently building chassis #7, and everything just works. I’m constantly impressed by the quality of this kit.

That and the community help on the forums.

with Brembo brakes. And sticky tires. And lots of straps for whatever is along for the ride on the trailer........

1. Cost...budget for near $20 - $25k.
2. Rear factory suspension fixed by upgrading.
3. Used engines...Cost me $1800 to build a new one.
4. Rivets I threaded a lot of holes especially tunnel cover I have removed a few times.
5. I love the supercharger whine especially with the smaller 2.9 pulley and the intake tilted up behind my head but the drone of the exhaust can get a bit annoying at cruising speed. Maybe a custom exhaust in the future for me.
6. Purchasing has not stopped and its been 2 years.

Where do we put our golf clubs? haha
Would like to take it when my son and I go golfing.

The 1.25 inch trailer hitch and a golf bag attachment.

extra fuel would be tricky, but may be able to get a few extra gallons, but not too much more without major redesign.

look into motorcycle accessories for storage. You can pack a ton into a motorcycle with their cool accessories.

I’m thinking a trailer made out of a cobalt. Something like this.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Maybe a set of saddle bags attached to the side of the frame in front of the rear tires/suspension? Just thinking outside the box.
