Former Factory Five Builder

[mxcobra]

What a cool car.. I built a MK3 Factory five back in 2005, and loved it. But it was sold years back. Looking back at the process. I loved building it more than I liked driving it. I think this was due to the fact it had no top, and in New England the weather can turn quickly.. So any time you went on a road trip you would need to keep an eye on the radar... And with a full interior car with no top this can get messy quickly. I like the open cockpit design. Easy to keep clean and open weather friendly if built properly.

I have always loved the Arial Atom, but the price point was/is CRAZY.. I have followed a few of the other XO type companies. But I was never impressed with the design or power plants. I truly wanted mid/rear engine, and a healthy race type engine. Guess what, you guys have NAILED it ! Love the well documented build videos, and the site is nice and clean.

I currently looking for a donor. I want something with low miles crashed. Going turbo for sure. Target is going to be 300HP. This will make it a blast on the track, and wild on the streets as well.

I do have some concerns on getting it registered here in Massachusetts. Back when I did my FFR, it was a not easy getting it on the road. It was all about paper work.. And passing the inspection at the state police.

As always, the hardest part of the Goblin experience will probably be getting it legally titled and registered. Make sure that when it comes to receipts, online purchase receipts are acceptable "proof" in your state.

Totally, I had to pay a small amount of tax on internet purchases. I had everything well organized & that helped. The inspection officer even commented that I made his job very easy. Does the coblin come with an MSO ( Looks like a title ) ... ? Manufactures Statement of Origin. This does make the title process easier when using a donor car.

Yes it does.
