Hello All,
Given life circumstances i won't be able to get to building a goblin before they discontinue the kit. I have what i think is a reasonable donor and 05 NA cobalt ss. I have replaced the transmission on it from one of the crate transmissions from the goblin team and had it running but...
Hi Sasqwatch,
I ended up getting an 06 ss with the LE5 engine. the trans was on the way out and i grabbed one of the new f23's from DF. The engine has 200k on it and the compression was even across the 4 cylinders (120 psi with the other plugs still installed, will re run with them all...
Hello,
i have been very interested in wanting to get a kit car and would love a chance to see the goblin in person either running or in progress. I am willing to help someone out if they want a fresh set of eyes or an extra pair of hands. I have a long background in working with cars and...
Thanks Kimberly for all you do I got giddy looking at the stack of transmissions there know one of them will be heading my way.
Have a great day and enjoy the warm weather

just let pace the order yesterday I’m excited. @GoblinGal maybe a sticker can find it’s way into the box so I can mark my donor as a future goblin hint hint ;).
I think I may be all set now work had a holiday yesterday so I had time to run to a scrap yard and pulled one out. I’ll let you know if that does not work though.
cheers
Lol I did read jmar’s message thinking did I write that…nope. I’ll toss a picture of the beat up donor I’m working on to help keep it straight for now
:D

With today be a holiday i went to a scrap yard and found all the parts i need. Thank you for the offers though. I am sure there will be more to come maybe one of the zero mile transmissions that are now available.
I have another request he searching the commuity. I think it will be an easy one given the awesome billet shifter they now sell. I am looking for a stock shifter for a manual coblat. the one here has some wiggle in the base and is a bit sticky.
I would like to buy one of these as soon as they are available was about to spend 700 to chevy but would rtather support you . What would shipping be about up to NH? The donor i have is looking like the output bearing on the differential are completely blown (the cv cup will move up and down...
YA i am in Southern NH. shipping would be interesting. i have found the glass online for 45 at a min that's what i need. i'll see if anything pops up before ordering that.
Thanks Ross
Hi All,
I just picked up my future donor, but in the mean time i would like to work with the car as is. The car currently is missing the drive window on the coup body (specifically a 06 SS). Before i go out a buy one i thought i would check here to see if i can get one for cheap.
Also while i...
The market is crazy up here in the north east. i have been looking from ME to PA and finding one that i could drive home for under 2 was almost impossible. HE has it posted for 1500 and i plan on trying to haggle down to 1250

I understand that a motor with 200k is a very tired engine...
Thanks Rauq and gobliGal,
I was a bit confused by his comment as well. I assumed that he was talking about valve springs, but not being that familiar with the motor i don't know if that was a thing.
I guess I'll add a bit of my background for the discussion. I am an electrical engineer by...
Hello all,
I have been lurking in the form for about a year reading up on this kit and have been really interested in this one. I currently looking into picking up a cobalt to start tinkering with and spending some time with the car first with the intention to make it a future donor. From what...
