Thanks, I will! I've got a ProCar seat seat that is pretty close to sitting on the floor. The sliders take like 2 inch (I need them to happily share the joy and let other people drive), and my terrible bracket fab job is burning probably another 2 inches. I'm going to redo brackets and weld in...

I'm really happy with my Goblin experience. Maybe I'm biased because I'm lucky enough to have mine on the road. I think buyers need to go in with reasonable expectations, which in my case were exceeded. DF Kit Car is a small (but mighty!) operation. They have a great product. There are many...

I'm 6'2, 240 lbs and I also sometimes wish I'd gone extended, mostly to get my head and helmet under the halo of my track frame. I'm very happy with the track frame, even if it is a little more awkward to get into, because when you start driving fast the holy **** factor is more fun being...

All right, well you've just saved me a decent amount of frustration at buying something that doesn't fit, very much appreciated finding out bad news the easy way. I think you're telling me 16" rims won't even fit, if there's less than an inch from the caliper to a 17" rim, do I understand that...

Awesome, thanks very much! I ordered the brackets and Adam said they were reworking them, so I'll temporarily have to figure something out myself to pass safety inspection.

This picture (and idea with the washers) is brilliant for me. I figured the Wilwood's wouldn't work given our rotor width. How much above the rotor does the spot brake protrude? I'm currently running 15" rims and only have about 1" rotor to rim clearance, so am wondering if I will need to go up...

Probably another silly question, but is the attached the turn signal deactivator magnet? If so, I would think it mounts someone on the steering shaft, likely where the turn signal could recognize the signal. I got my steer wheel all mounted (hopefully properly) but couldn't figure out where to...

My bad for missing those because I've looked through that album before. Thanks for the help!

Thanks Briann, that's a great start for me! I'll get putting this together and hopefully it comes together.

This might be a silly question because lots of people seem to have figured this out without any discussion on the forum that I could find (aside from an extensive discussion of a quick release steering wheel that went over my head). Could someone give me some hints as to how to mount the...

Rear suspension assembled! My cheap 15" steel rims can now hang off the lug studs.

Sorry missed this. No deletes required. I got the full kit approved, and then decided to just only buy part of the stage 3.

I went manual, seems like the more fun way to go. My (very basic) build log is here: http://dfkitcar.com/forum/index.php?threads/first-build-in-canada-2006-ss-sc-track.640/ I hope to get everything insured and registered in the next two months. If everything works out with the insurance, and I...

Hey Robert, thanks for the great information! So helpful to have someone in Ontario giving me information. I don't know what kind of tricks my broker has, and they've given me the $1500 quote in writing (on two occasions, the second time expressly confirming the first a couple months later)...

Got the suspension put together on the first corner (passenger rear). Does this generally look right to everyone? I cut half a round off the bottom of the spring in accordance with the write up instructions. I'll get some wheels on eventually and see how it looks in terms of ride height. I...

Anyone encountered some kind of mouse that eats aluminum steering knuckles? Maybe it is only native to Canada. I'm putting these on for now, so mainly this is just to emphasize the value of low mileage donors rather than my 200k + miles donor.

I absolutely had the same feeling about things will be okay from here (although probably not easy). I appreciate the guidance on the troubleshooting. I just ran out and no voltage at the fuse (from other pole to ground, or between poles, either with car in run or not). Maybe I cut something I...

IT'S ALIVE!!! Did my first start today, and third try was the charm. First attempt failed: Battery w(as pretty dead (should have anticipated this), so charged it a bit and used my engine start assist, and it start turning over. Second attempt failed: With enough juice in the battery to make...

A 16' table would be brilliant. I moved to a new house (and more importantly new garage) as I was planning this build. New garage meant new custom built workbench. I built a 3' x 8' workbench (well 5' with an extra 3' fold up leaf) specifically with the wiring in mind and it wasn't really...

Thanks for the comfort on the H/E. I totally understand (and mostly enjoy) the general guidance and letting me figure out the rest. The flip side is that Adam and Lonny are way smarter than me, so if they'd designed with something specific in mind, it is probably a lot better/easier than what...
