Currently getting a few of the basics installed. Holy crap that Tire Wet is slick stuff! Getting those hoses through was way easier than I expected with lots of lube, frame on the ground and the GF spraying while I pulled it through tug of war style. I've got the powertrain bolted in (no...

My wonderful girlfriend was keen/insisted on doing the painting of the frame, and other visible parts. I can't blame her, I'm way more of a function guy than a form guy. After discussion we settled on an iridescent pearl white with charcoal accessories. In underestimating the work/cheaping out...

Once the kit arrived, I really had to move on the wiring. It took a long time, which felt even longer because there's not visible progress (and I'm still not sure I did it right because I haven't made it to first start up yet!). A lesson learned, be a bit careful when you remove and coil the...

Hi all, I'm a little slow in starting this build log but I'm still far from done, so better late than never. Adam tells me I have the honor of being their first Canadian customer, and my goal is fully licensed and street legal. Ontario's rules for kit cars seem pretty reasonable. I have a ways...

Awesome, thanks! I love that our forum has that info and sorry I missed it. I kept researching and post #2 in this CobaltSS thread: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/suspension-67/upgrading-fe1-fe5-319672/, suggests that you could just drill a second hole in the FE1 or FE3 engine cradle to mount...

My donor has the FE5 "performance ride" suspension. What are the differences in mounting the sway bar to the subframe, and will they be a problem?

All right, thanks for the feedback guys, to the junkyard I go to get a replacement, especially since they seem reasonably cheap, like C$100 - C$150.

Hi all, I had a fight with my passenger side control arm rear bolt 200k miles in salty Canadian winters, I actually feel like I got off easy). The bolt snapped and was very seized in the bushing sleeve. To separate the subframe from the frame (and from the seized sleeve/bolt) I cut the subframe...

I had a fight with the rear control arm bolt, and needed to cut the subframe to cut the seize bushing sleeve off.

I'm not sure what company that was from, I just went through my broker and it might be higher for me. You're right about being younger probably won't help the insurance. Glad to be helpful! You're also close to the border, so getting stuff from the US won't be much of a problem for you. Once I...

Hey Spencer, I think I'm going to be the first (hopefully of many) Canadian goblin owner. I think my kit will be ready for shipping in about 3 weeks. I'm in Ottawa, so Ogdensburg NY is only an hour drive away. I'm having it shipped to a warehouse there. I'll pick it up there, toss it in the...
