#243 Turbo for Sale

Hey everyone, #243 is up for sale again. I purchased this from a known member about a year ago on here and the car has been a riot. I autocrossed it for an entire season and it is a force to be reckoned with. I'm looking to get $23,200 out of the car. Located in Montana.

I'll steal the previous listing's modifications as it has mostly remained the same. I did replace and upgrade a few parts so I will list those at the top.

New
Custom steering arms to eliminate bump steer. Similar setup to what Brad with Shadow Lou Racing has. Eliminated tie rod ends and went to heim joints.
Extended DS403 QA1 shocks and 25lb helper springs. Helped eliminate the issue with limited rebound on the goblin.
Wilwood proportioning valve on the front master. COMPLETELY changed the braking performance of the car. It is a 100% necessary mod in my opinion.
New LNF balljoints.
New mirrors as the original ones were cracked.
Fully aligned with Toe, Camber, Caster, and Bumpsteer all dialed in.

I did fix the running light issue that the original owner had but I have not come up with a more permanent solution for the turn signal.

The car runs and drives absolutely flawlessly and I have to give credit for Dastrups for doing such a wonderful job putting the kit together. I really wish I had unlimited funds and could keep the car but that's not the case.

Feel free to message me with any sort of questions you have and I can answer them.

Thanks.

For a second, I was surprised that Montana has a track that's identical to thunderhill, buttonwillow, and laguna seca! haha. This Goblin is awesome; I remember seeing this up for sale when I first started shopping and drooled over it. Some lucky buyer is going to have an absolutely blast with this thing. Best of luck with the sale!

This looks almost exactly like the one that was on one of 1320's TX2K vids... It was my inspiration to look into building one :D

Do you have more details / specs on these? Where did you get the adapter / extender for the inner rod to heim joint? Heim joint specs?

Definitely cant build one identical for the same price. It fits someones checklist, just hasn't found the right person yet.
Agree, This is a deal!
New Crate motor and Trans that you can’t even get anymore!
Spring is coming hopefully it finds a good home. Good luck.

I used the Heim joint ends from a c5/c6 bumpsteer kit. I don't remember the bolt size but its whatever fits snugly in the heim end. The steering arms were just some 1 off pieces I had a machine shop make. Essentially full thickness instead of tapering like the stock arms do.

Would any Goblin owners recommend driving this for 24hrs from Montana to Oklahoma or is shipping a better option?
 

Ark :D

Ship it. The weather is not kind to these cars and it could be VERY dangerous if you get caught in rain in a beast like this without lots of hours already behind the wheel. Driving these cars at stock power is a handful, let alone a built one.
