    V1 What to check after going over a curb?

    I definitely agree that people suck, but I'm not surprised by anything at this point. I lifted both ends of the car and there was no play in the wheel when trying to move them in or out. I spun all of them by hand and did not see any bends on the inside or outside. There was no damage to the...

    V1 What to check after going over a curb?

    I'll add that to the list as well when I pull off the wheels. I gave the front knuckles and tie rod mounts a good look and don't see any damage/cracks from the back side. Everything appears to be in the correct shape with no bends/bows in the metal. I haven't looked at the rear end as closely...

    V1 What to check after going over a curb?

    All good callouts and much appreciated. Ill clean up the area to see if there's any powdercoat splitting/flaking on the arms. Ill take the wheels off to inspect the knuckles as well. Thank you!

    V1 What to check after going over a curb?

    I was driving the Goblin over the weekend and had a dumb@$$ pull out in front of me in my neighborhood. I locked up the brakes and went over a curb to avoid him. Of course, he took off and left me in someone's yard. I looked over the car and to my amazement saw no tire, wheel, body or...

    V1 REAR CALIPERS PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM DIS-ASSEMBLY.

    I also had one of my calipers start leaking fluid through the parking brake lever. I wasn't able to figure out if it was the caliper I replaced or the one I broke the parking brake lever stop or whether it was related to sandblasting or powder. Could have easily been a fluke, but something to...

    V1 REAR CALIPERS PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM DIS-ASSEMBLY.

    My powdercoater required sandblasting mine even though they were brand new. I removed the rubber components (slide bolt covers and piston seal) but didn't do anything with the parking break mishap I described above. Also, the rear pistons should be "unscrewed" out, as compressed air won't...

    V1 Booster hose

    The videos show using the stock booster hose to make the initial turn downward from the nipple, then inserting and clamping the provided hose into the stock hose about 18" down (check the video for exact length). That should get you pretty close to making up the shortage in length.

    V1 DF rear kit installation questions

    I had to add a washer to get the disc centered on the bracket, so that's where I would start. Also, make sure the disc is fully seated on the hub. I thought mine was off more on one side but turned out the disc wasn't all the way on. Use lugs and a deadblow to seat it and rotate it to make...

    V1 Rear caliper leaking from parking brake lever?

    I may go that route in the future but paint matching to the front calipers will be impossible. The calipers, frame, suspension and wheels are Illusion Blue, so the color changes depending on the lighting, which I really like. If I do it over, I'll just go silver on the calipers. The illusion...

    V1 Rear caliper leaking from parking brake lever?

    I appreciate it! I already purchased a new caliper from RockAuto. I'll install it w/o powder and rebleed to make sure the driver's side doesn't have the same issue. I'll have the coater make sure to mask off around the lever this time as well. Man, I was really hoping to get it on the...

    V1 Rear caliper leaking from parking brake lever?

    This is the first issue I've run into with my build that searching the forum did not yield anything. I'm pretty sure a replacement caliper is in the future, but I wanted to see if anyone else had run into this before. I went to bleed my brakes tonight. I hooked up my power bleeder and after...

    V1 REAR CALIPERS PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM DIS-ASSEMBLY.

    For anyone that is searching the 'parking brake disassembly' topic BEFORE making a run at it, DO NOT attempt to twist off the parking brake lever stop (blue circled portion of bigred's pic posted earlier). I did, and it took very little effort to ruin the brand new caliper by shearing it clean...

    V1 df goblin wiring harness guide part 4 question

    For anyone still looking for these links, they appear to be dead on the video. Most likely due to the website update. I was able to link to them through Google: TC - https://dfkitcar.com/forum/index.php%3Fattachments/ss-tc-body-to-dash-labels-pdf SC -...
