    SOLD DF Billet Shifter Assembly New

    @David I wouldn't get too caught up on when the change happened... there were at least a dozen things on my chassis that needed to be heavily modified, welded, remachined, or redone entirely that I couldn't find any information about on being a known issue. I could be mistaken but I believe #5...

    SOLD DF Billet Shifter Assembly New

    I honestly couldn't tell you. I think my chassis uses a narrower C channel, and my parts were already powdercoated... so it was in my best interest to re-use as much of the old tunnel cap as possible.. I remember having to cut the original tunnel cap, remove the old shifter mount, transfer a few...

    All good man!

    V1 ccgillett's Track Goblin - '08 SS/TC

    lol, all good! Yep, that's the steering arm recall. I was freaking out thinking I'd have to pull my front suspension back apart right after getting my alignment dialed in.

    V1 ccgillett's Track Goblin - '08 SS/TC

    Do you have any additional info on the recalled control arms? I got replacement steering arms from DF, and asked if there's any additional recalls, and they told me that it's just the steering arms. Correct, it'll return once it's bled. I used a cheapo harbor freight vacuum bleeder to get it...

    V1 Rear strut bolts not holding camber

    I don't think you'd want to run the washers that came with the eccentric bolts... OEM everything always kicks butt if you have the choice to run it as the factory intended. Regarding roughing up the upright, I don't think that would make much of a difference. Aluminum would deform and bite...

    lol. I also took my goblin off-roading at the last track day... for testing purposes of course. No problem, thanks for joining in and supporting this!

    V1 Spherical upper strut mount group buy

    At the moment, I only have 1 extra set of these, and unfortunately the machine shop has broken down their setup for these parts. I'll need to process a separate/new order if I want to make more of these, which means a minimum of 10 sets for it to be worth it. They will be $295/kit shipped. With...

    Turbo Replacement

    A little bit of shaft play is normal since they're journal bearings. I didn't know any better when I did the initial build and thought the turbo that came with my donor was bad because it had a bit of radial play. So I bought a new BorgWarner K04, and to my disappointment they felt identical...

    V1 DIY Front End Alignment

    Here are my current specs with pyrometer data: http://dfkitcar.com/forum/index.php?threads/tubular-subframe-suspension-setup.5663/post-117925 Max logged speed per my catalyst for that weekend says 120MPH ... mine still needs a lot of dialing in, but it didn't feel too unstable.

    V1 DIY Front End Alignment

    - I read guys switch the springs front to rear. Meaning they run the 300 on the Front and 400 Rear. Should I do this before the alignment snice im tweaking everything? I'm running 300# front and 300# rear and I'm happy with it. Are you dealing with oversteering issues? If not, leave it as is...
