V1 Adjustable Rear Suspension

[ccannx]

Looks promising ! Now if you could just figure out how to get an UCA in there this kit will be on par with the Atom.

The total subframe makes sense. One main frame for street OR track use. The regular (cobalt) rear suspension for road use (and lower cost) and those that want, can upgrade to the track setup. It's a lot easier to set up suspension points on a blank slate, without the factory restrictions.

Can't. Freaking. Wait.

Could probably be done with mounting points on the same bar that the engine mounts are sitting on, and then a U or V shaped UCA that goes around the strut with steel mounting points similar to how the front LCA suspension mounts. It could either use the top bolt of the strut, or both. Should help with the twisting motion of the strut

Two for testing, one F35, and one F23.

That will be sweet.

Nice, istheonly difference the transmission mounting?

Yes, the rear mounts are the same but the front mounts are different.

I would love to test one but winter is here and too cold to take the goblin out. Probably wont see the oustide of my garage till spring

Any plans for the 4T45 too?

Looks great, what do you anticipate the cost of the kit to be?

That is a good question, we are concerned that the complexity of the upgrade may drive the cost to be too high to be practical.

After testing we will pull a complete kit, price out each individual part, and cross our fingers. As of now, I don't have a good feeling of cost but it is going to be high.

We are wanting to develop a turbo kit for the base auto donors so I think it would be a good idea to offer an upgraded rear suspension for it too.

That's what I've been afraid of too. Looking back at what the 324 kit cost, granted it has a more components with some more complexity, I could imagine this kit end up being $2500-3k on the low end.

So do I dare ask if the F40 is compatible to the F35 design? Hey, every other transmission has been asked about so far. Heck, another $2500 on top of the F40 frame mod $2500 would just be another reason to have a 'rare' Goblin!

If you need testers, I live at the base of US-129/Tail of the Dragon. Just sayin'

I’m pretty sure we have all volunteered to test. Lol

 

[Dale E]

Hey guys. I'm not even building a Goblin and I volunteered. When I saw the un-welded pieces on the table I wanted to take them home!!
It was extremely familiar looking to me!

So who ever does test it document it well!!

[Fozda]

It'll probably be Justin Reed and we probably won't know that he's testing it.
