    V1 Critter's #374 Extended Frame Track - 07 SS/SC donor build

    Thanks for reaching out! Sorry for not posting much in '23. #374 has been "complete" since last spring when I took it to a local autocross event. The eyeball alignment made it very sporty. Had all kinds of issues with the radiator hoses failing but it was still a successful first event...

    NEED HELP IN WILLOW SPRINGS CA!!!!

    This is a Hail Mary call-out! Is there anyone in the vicinity of Willow Springs Raceway that happens to have a rear brake hub for the 5x114 bolt pattern. We just got the Goblin unloaded and drove it around the parking lot when we heard a pop. Went to throw the track tires on it and found...

    Wanted: LSJ tensioner assembly

    Hello all, Getting close to finishing up the build and need to track down a tensioner assembly as pictured. The original was completely toasted. The GM part # is 12583180 and apparently it has been discontinued. I ordered a ZZP piece but I don't think it comes with the "shock" assembly...

    Hey King Chuck, Where did you find your tensioner? I am searching like crazy right now and apparently they are a discontinued part.... anyone happen to have an extra one kicking around that they would like to sell? Justin

    Finished wiring the headlights this afternoon and relocated the brake/clutch reservoir. Threw away the 45 degree elbows, ordered some 90's to replace them as well as some other hardware to reduce lines etc. Not impressed with how this is all plumbed together at all....just asking for leaks and...

    V1 Critter's #374 Extended Frame Track - 07 SS/SC donor build

    Headlights/mirrors, and radiator assembly installed thanks to my buddy. Big thanks to Adriana for getting me the missing fan so quickly!!!! Also, as a tip - I used my old metal level and some clamps to make sure the headlights were both pointing straight forward and parallel. Worked awesome...

    Anybody want these? Cobalt SS wheels, and some old Vette wheels. Gotta pick them up, free to good home as long as they are gone this weekend.

    V1 Critter's #374 Extended Frame Track - 07 SS/SC donor build

    Good day today. Got the front suspension all put together with a buddy of mine. Only issue was the new steering rod end I bought....but a cutoff wheel and some angst helped remedy the problem. Here is a pic of those skinny front tires I bought. Gonna spend the next week cleaning up the...

    Thanks for sending me those. I was considering epoxying in ones for wood. Having someone else suggest it gives me confidence it will work. Gonna heat up the ones in there and see if I can pull them out

    V1 Critter's #374 Extended Frame Track - 07 SS/SC donor build

    Yeah, about that. Sooo, new style tank is plastic and not the aluminum style. Personally, I like the plastic version because I plan on running E85, but it has pressed in threaded inserts. To make it more of an issue the nuts that came with the kit were the wrong thread pitch and were cross...

    V1 Critter's #374 Extended Frame Track - 07 SS/SC donor build

    Don't forget the post it notes. I have all my hardware nice and labeled, I think what happened was the video for the fuel filler neck tells you to use the hose from the K22F hardware bag. My K22F bag did not have that piece of hose in it and did not have it listed on the inventory either. Not...

    V1 Critter's #374 Extended Frame Track - 07 SS/SC donor build

    Finally got a chance to work on the Goblin yesterday with a buddy of mine. Going together pretty easily. Only issues so far include a stud spinning on the fuel tank, and I can't for the life of me find those little hoses that connect to the breather tube on the fuel tank. Here are some pics...

    How did I not see this until now? Gotta update my notifications I guess. I appreciate the offer, but I think I will be good.
