    V1 Orion’s build log - Track Extended - 09 TC/SS built LDK, F40

    Well, I definitely plan on doing custom seats so I’ll have to do the custom harness bar… beyond that I would like to add a gusset or two in some areas, but nothing crazy. I do know I want to go with a custom steering box and brake reservoir like some of the other guys have had good luck with...

    V1 Orion’s build log - Track Extended - 09 TC/SS built LDK, F40

    Yes when you purchase the chassis now they give you the option for the F 40 which I made sure to select…. I had so many different changes of heart before I purchased in the sense of that I want to build an F 35 or buy a bunch of F 23s or just do it right the first time and get the F 40 so I...

    The overall simplicity of an air to air intercooler appeals to me especially if I can achieve and maintain the desired air intake temperatures. Also decent weight savings, not needing fans or a relay or an expansion tank.

    V1 Backspacing…

    Is there a way to get a definitive answer on the distance from the front of the disc hub (where the wheel rests in the brake disc) to the closest part of the frame/suspension on the chassis… so I can determine what backspacing I can run prior to assembly. Noted I will be running the coil over...

    V1 F40 vs F35

    Yeah he mentioned in his post about it into “banging 6th” so I’m hoping it’s compatible. If not ill order a regular shifter and fabricate some bracing for it

    V1 F40 vs F35

    X4 confirmed it’s a $2500 add on but I don’t mind… I’m kinda waiting to place my order till I can get the new shifter they are in R&d with.

    V1 F40 vs F35

    So just to update: I actually ordered an f40 through OTTP. This way the trans comes with the lsd installed and machined for the internal speed sensor along with adjusted upgraded axles…. Guess I’m locked in for the f40 sauce

    Has anyone tried the sand rail route? Goodness I’ll title mine as a beetle like they do to get it on the road

    All FL owners and future owners !!!!!

    Thinking about ordering a kit…. Live in Florida…. Maybe I’m missing something but if a sand rail or subs buggy can register why can’t a goblin? What I’m getting at here is if a dune buggy and or sand rail register as a tube frame vehicle (minus body panels) why can’t we do that in a goblin and...
