I've owned many lightweight cars in the 1,500 to 2,300 lb range. In my experience, 300 to 350 wheel horsepower (whp) has always been a "usable" amount. Much beyond that, and you start needing to compensate for serious traction issues and other challenges. In a car under 1,500 pounds, 300 to 350...

Incredible build with creative and fun details!

Here's a gallery of another one of those cars. They look incredible and the windsheild is so cleanly integrated: https://flatoutautos.com/gallery

Interesting as a potential donor: https://www.27won.com/blog/power-limits-of-the-civicx-stock-engine-and-transmission?srsltid=AfmBOorMf1IUVIec4o-OqLJlRUvdAePoNIevmhWYEiRnT6PppYK2UXnS Stock block recommended limit: 375whp Transmission: 260 wheel torque for the automatic 280 for the manual And...

Thank you. So if I end up stuck with a Golf R DSG, and motor, etc. It’s probably an ok donor.

See title

Someone is willing to sell me all of the parts, and a VIN number/title , from a 2019 Golf R with less than 50,000 miles. I’ve seen the car and the motor. It’s in great shape other than rear end damage. I’m trying to make a fair offer on the list below. I can pull all of the parts myself. Do...

More trivia for this unlikely candidate: If you don't use a J series transmission, Inline Pro said that a J series motor will mate to any k-series transmission with their adapter plate. A J32A2 or other motor given a 90mm throttle body and aftermarket headers will make 280 to 285hp to the...

The Golf option is excellent. Here’s an alternate idea: Feel free to shoot it down. What about the compact Honda J series? There is an adapter to connect them to,4 cyl. transmissions. They are already used as mid rear packages by superfastminis. There are supercharger options and turbo...

Does anyone know if the V2 Goblin will have the same appearance as the V1? Form follows function with the Goblin. It's an incredible product, but it could use a little help in the appearance department. Please don't take any offense at that. I'm a fan.

I have not combed through all the posts, but it appears the announcement is still forthcoming about what the new donor will be?

I do wish we had a way to adapt one of these to a Goblin kit: https://jalopnik.com/honda-has-a-306-hp-crate-engine-from-the-civic-type-r-i-1819975856

I'm looking at an 06 SS supercharged 2.2L with less than 100k miles. Anyone see any cons to this as a donor?

Great pictures! Thank you.

This entire thread makes the Goblin look soooo much better to me. LoL
