Just bought a 2020 Goblin... Excited to see it become mine

[Stickerdick]

Luckily, the previous owner provided clamps that will specifically mount the panels, I just wanted to get the body work done first, then I'll mount them permanently... The real plus is I got the wife approval today on our first outing with the panels attached, so I'm good to go!

"Gobbler" got a big sister over the weekend

Where did you pick up the WMC Ultralite?? Watch it when you go VVT!! Did you know that they were built in one of DF Goblin's buildings?

I use to race a 2015 Polaris slingshot that I converted to a Honda S2000 drive train with a supercharger that was dynode at 600BHP at the rear wheel, so I'm very use to the VVT, I bought the WCM from a gentleman out of Connecticut off of the USA7's website. Itis alittle more refined than the goblin, but the goblin is going to be my Mountain racer for sure!

Well .. the forum saved me again, after spending over 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get the bulbs out of the mirrors, found the thread on how to do that, easy fix once you know. Got my DF quick release wheel on, got my " custom" air scoop attached and I'm falling head over heels for this "Gobbler"! After getting ghosted by my first tuner, my good buddy at Mase Engineering and tuning in Jacksonville has me set for a Tuesday dyno tune and the rhino lined body panels are heading to my buddy at Bubba's Paint to get sanded and painted metallic purple along with some misc pieces hopefully showing up soon.

Mocked up a front splitter, got the wing installed, running lights and turn signals working and on the Third of April going to my first track day of the year! Yes!

That front splitter looks great. Did you fold up some 16 gauge steel?

It's just mocked up from some ACM and plexiglass, I'll have my fab shop make the final product out of aluminum

@Stickerdick The wing is installed backwards Looking good otherwise!

I'm trying to start a new trend! Is it really backwards? I thought it looked good, but I'll swap it around and move the end plates

 

[Ross]

Yes, it looks backwards.

 

[Stickerdick]

Fixed it

 

[Stickerdick]

Got the mockup splitter in a somewhat finished look, and I turned the wing around, never was a good "wingman"!

 

[Stickerdick]

I think the air scoop will look good once we do paint and bodywork

We have a our first track day scheduled for the 3rd of April at the F.I.R.M. near Starke Florida, one of my guys is getting shipped out right after easter and won't be back until Thanksgiving, so we figured it would be a great way to burn off some tension... hopefully, nothing breaks since all three cars will be mine!

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Just a suggestion. Add a brace to the outside corners of your splitter to keep it from trying to fold under.

Even a temporary heavy string/light piece of rope would help until you come up with a more permanent solution.

 

[Stickerdick]

once we test the splitter on next Friday, I'll keep that in mind when we let the fab shop loose on making it, Right now, what I have it just a temporary mock-up. But I appreciate ALL suggestions, it's very helpful!

Do you have any seat time in the goblin? It acts different than any car you have driven. Many of us have spent a metric **** ton of time dialing these in and they can still be dicey. Work your way up on the track, until you are familiar with the car.

 

[Stickerdick]

will do... done a few track days... but not in a goblin, but I do know it is very light in the front end and the tires do tend to lock up under hard braking
