I've already seen some super helpful stuff on the forum and it's pretty cool to see so many people into cobalts. I'm currently building a kit car from dfkitcar that's called a goblin. I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with them since some of us have came here to talk and sell stuff off our donors. I've already gotten my donor stripped, which was a 2009 lnf with 68k on it! The car was well loved and taken care of up until the point it was sideswiped "I'm assuming". I could tell the previous owner really loved it as it was clean inside and out and had a few many mods to it. Well his hard work and love for this beautiful cobalt isnt going to waste! It's being reincarnated! But this time it will be about 1400lbs lighter! |

Thank you Turbo!
|
Welcome, can't wait to hear how fast it is with a turbo. How big are your rear tires gonna be?
|
Thnx nova ss! I'm gonna have 245 40 17 in the back and 205 40 16 in the front. Going with some konig oversteers with 16x7.5 in the front and 17x8 in the rear. Tires are gonna be some toyo proxes r888r, Super excited.

Square setups usually are more balanced. Being MR engine might make a difference though. Being able to rotate the wheels could be huge in making consumables last. |
The front end is already super light so every little bit of less rotating mass will help it. This is what was advised when I asked Adam at dfkit car. It's going to be fun figuring out what works tho lol
|
Welcome! I would love to own one some day
|
Thnx Snail! Its gonna be awesome, I'll keep u guys updated on how its going!
|
Enjoy your build!

I wanna know how you will keep the front end down when that turbo hits max boost if you get traction. As light as that thing is in the front and all that torque it will be like driving an outlaw sprint car.
|
Lol I'll make it a three seater and put the third on the hood.
|
did your donor have an LSD?
|
So sad to see a lnf go down but glad it will get repurposed for something awesome at least. good luck with the build and keep us updated.

Ya! G85, I was unsure but hoping it did because I was bidding on it without knowing.

You lucked out! That should be even more of an advantage with the lighter car |
