For an alternative approach to p. brake cable routing I'm taking a page from @Ross's playbook (no good modification goes uncopied). In this case I've taken the aluminum sheaths and straightened them so they head straight back - with a little jog to clear the subframe. The '06 SS/SC LSJ has an...

Sorry, does anyone know the which cable (shifter or bellcrank) connects to which arm on the F35 trans? Lonny's video ended a few seconds too early. Also, are we to repeat the seal removal and attach the remaining socks like we did on the shifter end of the cables?

Does anyone out there know the

Thanks for the P2229 update. Appreciate the PM. As for the run-on, I've ordered some diodes (here soon), but in the meantime I've cut the power wire to the intercooler fan and safed it off... and Shazam! no more run-on. I'll keep your experiences with the IC pump in mind should I encounter...

Although still under construction, I was able to mount Option B tank using a DF Kit Car supplied prototype Option B bracket (they seem to ahead of the curve whenever I need something). Contact Adam. I had to flip-flop the brackets from side-to-side to allow access to the dip stick on the LSJ and...

Thanks for the links @Vwsaabvt - I should have searched the Forum before asking the question. It is comforting to know others have travelled the same path. Regarding the clutch position sensor: I removed the sensor and verified that it operates as advertised - normally open with the plunger...

#268 is finally alive - 06 SS/SC. I've spent the last couple of months trying to figure out the source of several electrically-related issues that caused a variety of problems - from turning over but not starting to no gauge output, etc. Once I figured out that I had confused the low speed...

Thanks to all for your comments: @Ross - do you think there is any harm in leaving the the connection to the radio/VICM disconnected (BCM / C2 / Pin 38) or should I wire it to the splice even though there is nothing feeding into it? @Optimize - I had all the connectors attached during the...

Hello all, Ken here, #268 ext. city, 2006 SS/SC with several electrical questions. The donor was alive and well before disassembly – I put about 5,000 miles on it waiting for COVID pass us by. After assembling the Goblin I plugged in the battery and found that I, at best, scored a C- in wiring...

@Ross, I appreciate you operating as the "Easy Button" when it comes to Goblin/Cobalt questions. Your drawing showed me what I was doing wrong - I was trying to force the clip down vertically through the slots. My feeble mind couldn't come up with an alternative configuration. I give myself...

Greetings all, Trying to button up the suspension, brakes and clutch and bleed the lines before moving on. Ran into a snag trying to clip in the clutch line into one of Lonny's new F35 transmissions. Do any of the Gurus out there recognize if the clips below are the correct versions (one is...

Hello @Cheddar, Yes, the bracket is required to mount the power steering unit. I'm # 268 and I, too, was missing that bracket. Give Adam a call. DFKC has been on point when it comes to filling missing part requests.

Question for CaptFrank - what offset are you running on your wheels?

Best wishes. Feel free to take off 10 - 15 minutes early today in celebration (...you can make it up tomorrow!)

#268 here. Appreciate the photos. Talk about your "just in time" inventory management! Stewart is scheduled to pick this one up next Monday and deliver it to San Diego (by way of the Artic Circle, as I understand it) a week or so later. I'm working hard to finish the harness in time to make room...

Hello Kimberly, any chance you can find the serial number of the frame being welded out on the jig in photo 7? It would be great if it ended up being 268 - make a cool memento. Also, I recognize the the F35 in the crate on the table in photo 5 waiting for its LSD swap. You guys are sure busy! Ken

Greetings SACTX, Thanks for taking the the lead on this upgrade. Please sign me up for the full kit - shifter, base and hardware kits. My Goblin is on order (#268) so there is no time pressure.

2006 SS/SC G85 with 128K. Purchased last January at a local lien sale for $2500. Runs well, very clean, list of upgrades. Driving it like a teenager (which I surely am not) while waiting receipt of the kit.

Ross, with those big meats you are running, have you looked into the resulting "scrub radius" of your front end set up? I've read that getting too far from 0 can affect steering under braking and acceleration.
