GreenGoblin Build

[Jroc]

This is going to be a heavy hitter. I had a APSTT'd g35 and I miss the piss out of the car, I dreamed about the apr widebody for months.

Everything is top notch, only thing I would of done different is not molded the body. But its what ever makes you happy.

Signal green is going to be tits.

[GreenGoblin]

Very cool, why did you get rid of it? Is that your viper in the avi? You are not to far from me surprised we never bumped into each other at any meets.

Yeah, I use to go to alot of the boca meets, coral springs meets and even 27 a good 5-10times. But lately I just relax up here.

Yeah. New car in the AV

[GreenGoblin]

We just picked up a new Audi saloon. It is 2011 Audi A4 Quattro fresh of the boat.

Thanks guys, and yes totally Anchorman... My favorite movie.

[Tuck&Poke]

oh man, i would walk around all day saying "baxter you know i cant speak spanish" or "Baxter, bark twice if your in Milwaukee!" or any of the million other lines.

[poker!!]

nice thread, it's always easier to do a build when you can do your own bodywork. looks like you do good work.

Ripped my oem wing off and going to shave it, tried finding an oem wingless trunk but had no luck and was not paying $500 for one at the dealer.

Man, you work fast!

[Stolzy]

i think itd look great if you did a molded lip on that trunk lid kinda like a csl style, unless you have other plans...?

[fatboy.yoshi]

swang n bang is anxiously waiting to see the final product of goblin's build....i am bookmarking

[RolledAndPulledG]

This is by far the best buildthread i have ever seen. Loving every single thing about this car, and its cool that your building it with intentions of actually driving it! lol
Too bad you ditched the kranson klassics, I love mine, but the new ones look pretty similar besides not having the stepped lip

If he ran a decent company I would probally still be running those wheels.

[jared1988]

what? u pooped in the refrigerator? and u ate an entire wheel of cheese?... im not even mad, thats amazing. i forgive u
/ron burgendy

i been watching this thread since it came up. excited for the finished product =]

[Freddie0288]

Nice shit, the new Audi and G35 like always..

[BreakMyWallet]

[Mark Ostrowski]

DAMMINT! every time i come in here i only realize how little i have managed to accomplish in the same time frame :rofl either way love this build its actually after i watched you re do a lot of the parts that came in the kit is what pushed me over the edge and got me to redesign my front bumper that came with my kit. anyway keep up the great work

[GreenGoblin]

Thanks guys.

[GreenGoblin]

Very soon. Just fine tuning all the body work.

[pieter]

damn man you're fast. I really like the look of this... but will thecar be fully painted green? or are some panels getting a different color?

[GreenGoblin]

Yes the car will be painted green.

[hotdoghogie]

Props dude! My shift at work tomarrow is going to suck now that i spent all night reading your build thread. Any regrets... nope

[340i]

What an epic build thread! This is a legendary effort. Its sooo refreshing to see a car built not bought too, keep up the great work!

[GreenGoblin]

Thank you very much guys...

I didn't take any pics after I primed it. I got the car together after a week of supper late nighters around 6am before the show. There will be lots of pics floating around the net of it primed.

Sick!!!

[Tuck&Poke]

Well you already know how I feel about it, but to the people that can't see this in person, his attention to detail is intense, his execution is perfect. The car wasn't even done and i had a hard time finding any flaws. I was impressed to say the least. It looks great in photos, but in person it has a presence that no other car there had, and its not even fuckin painted lol.

[SeanDub]

Its lookin really good man, major props

[Checho]

oh yea, he's doing it

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4122/4850074106_40fc0cdcd2_b.jpg

[GreenGoblin]

This.

I get a little depressed when i come into the build section and don't see a new post from you.

Paint will be as soon as I finish up all the detail and finish work. I need to redo the exhaust, alignment, retune, gauge pod, and a few more toys...

I don't want to risk scratching it working on the car after its painted.

[ShadowWabbit]

Are you gunna DIY the painting as well or gunna let someone else get some work in?

[Johnny5]

looks good, g/l with it.

[GreenGoblin]

APR GTC-300 showed up today. A HUGE Thank you to Strafe, Dustin, Law, Tony @ APR for helping me get this! AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH.... They hooked it up, Tony answered a million and 1 questions I had. The quality of this piece is excellent and I could not be happier.

Not gonna lie, I love everything about your car but i don't really know how i feel about the wing. It looks sooo clean without one, but then again you said the car was going to get some track time so it's atleast got a purpose. I'll save my final verdict after it's all finished, I have a feeling it will grow on me though.

[jared1988]

wow that shit is huge. is it made for the g35, caz it sits perfectly on the edge of the trunk? are you going to paint the end pieces green?

[Streetkarnage]

Looking so bad ass man!!

[VR6_Dusman]

I doubt about the spoiler...

[matt752]

This car is full of win.

Can't wait to see the end result :cool

[Stolzy]

is the massive rear wing also gt3 RS inspired ? love it more after every update

[GreenGoblin]

I'll save my final verdict after it's all finished, I have a feeling it will grow on me though.Exactly the usable down force and adjustably of the wing will help me fell more planted at high speeds on the track.

wow that shit is huge. is it made for the g35, caz it sits perfectly on the edge of the trunk? are you going to paint the end pieces green?Yes the wing was made for the g35, hard to tell in the pics but it is all carbon fiber, super light weight.

[trickydik_1]

was lovin it............. up until the wing

Thats not some pep boys wing, im sure that thing produces plenty of downforce.

[Oxer]

Funny how everyone sees a wing these days and automaticaly doesn't like it.. People these days play the "i bet its not even for function" card too much these days. I Think the look of the car overall is fantastic, even with the wing. The longer I look at the pics, The more I fall in love with it.

[ShadowWabbit]

Thats not some pep boys wing, im sure that thing produces plenty of downforce.

I won't deny it's a quality part, but a wing is to balance a car on high speed turns. It has nor will it ever make a car any faster, just slower and manageable.

And it makes no sence on a form > function car as this.

But ofcouse that's only my 2 cents... And that's not worth much :P

[Jersh]

Do you have any plans to add some more front downforce to try and balance it out? Like those little fin things, i forget what they are called.
http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2009/06/03/vizualtech-time-attack-nissan-200x_djdd8_5965.jpg
The little black things above the front splitter. Not sure how it would look on your car, but i'm sure you would find a way to make it look baller.

This has quite a bit of function, the setup he has is good for over 500hp. Im just saying, ive been in cars with and without aero pieces and you can feel the difference at high speeds. If it were mine id have a wing and a diffuser, the stability feels very nice. I know styling wise its personal preference, I happen to like big wings on cars that can actually use them. I'm not saying you have to like it, i was just pointing out that it does serve a purpose :)

those are called canards

[Jersh]

I thought those were what they were called, but i couldn't remember for sure.

[andybob]

This build is fucking epic. When I first started lurking on this site I saw this build and followed it with my mouth open in awe the whole time. Its coming along quite nicely. I am not a big 'wing' guy, but I can appreciate a Carbon Fiber wing on this car.

p.s. i like your boy 'blue'

[jared1988]

nice c/f is awesome. any paint going on it?

[GreenGoblin]

This is just one of many steps in the puzzle. Many more aero pieces are either going to be hand made, or modified to fit my car. The reason I did not go with something like this...
http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:MgV0HLH2BMPyLM::my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/414151-canards-and-splitters-2.html&t=1&usg=AFrqEzcxO8lMQUDYaguP4e8WrP4PAfBmOg is because it does not exist, if I had a non true dual, stock body 350z then I might have considered it.

I am going to make something along the lines of this

I know people aren't going to love every aspect of the car, but I love it and thats all that matters to me. Only trophy I want to win is on the track.

[BLKonBLK98]

props for going in 100%. styling is subjective but everyone should appreciate the effort put in and attention to detail.

[Koncdead]

As I got closer and closer to the end of this thread I got irritated knowing that there will be no more pages for me to see the work that's being done to this car. I really admire all the hard work that you're putting in to this build, better yet, you also plan to track this car. Also, taking the time to take pictures of your progression. Simply amazing! I'm envious to the work you're capable of doing, I wish one day that I'll have the money, time, resources, and know-how to do even half of what you are currently achieving.

Just wanted to let you know how much your build is appreciated!

Stay up bro!

i even like the wing

only thing i have concerns about is molding the rear bumper to the body, what happens if you ever need to remove it? well lets just hope you dont

i cannot wait for the paint, and as someone said, painting the ends of the wing would be sweet

but i just dont get it... how do you find time to work 3 jobs, work on the car, and keep the gf happy.

THANK YOU! caz hes certainly been ignoring me saying it/hasnt acknowledged it :shifty hahahaSorry did not mean to ignore, but I am not painting it.

[Speedbump]

I just keep lurking and lurking around here on SW but this thread/build... Man you make me wanna go out and just remove a wheel and then mounting it again.

Fuck it I'm gonna change a wheel right now.

Awesome project!

[nomnom]

dopeeeeee

[Campbell13]

Awesome stance. Nice clean looked too. Not sure I'm really a fan of the back end though, looks a bit... bubbly and boring. Nothing there :P
But serious build man, put a lot of effort into this. I think the outomce is well worth it

[Zic]

Its the rear that makes this car so awesome + all the little tings.
How doesn't like a big bubbly rear end :eyebrows

I'm sure i missed it, but what color will it be? "hope its black"

[Oxer]

Looks amazing!!!

Im drooling.

[Mark Ostrowski]

omg it looks fantastic, i love the way the wing turned out, cant wait to see it painted :eyebrows

[euro e28]

wow, i dont know how this thread has passed me by. nice work. keep up the good work. are you a body guy by the way?

[GreenGoblin]

Thank you guys, I am more of a fab guy than body work. I prefer to work with metal, fiberglass etc, but I do know how to do body work as well.

[2JZ M3]

i like those wheels with the deep dish but that wing just kills it for me

[mkFIF]

looks good, not gonna judge the wing til i see the final result! so far so good though

[tripl3troubl3]

Are you going to shave the door handles? I think that would really finish the look.

My $0.02

[benofbse]

need more of this build! addicted

[GreenGoblin]

i like those wheels with the deep dish but that wing just kills it for meSorry. Function is most important.

My $0.02I wish, but the track will not allow that.

btw Danny, thanks for hooking me up with the info I need.

[TW0R]

As soon as you put your windows on, I'm gonna steal your steering wheel. :stickoutt

[GreenGoblin]

A few snaps of some of the pieces that I am going to paint.

[Casper]

Well done. I look forward to the seeing it painted and ready for the track. ps, i love the wing.

[Oxer]

So you need handles to be on the track? Pitty, but not a lot you can do, rules are rules :D

For some reason I can see this will full on airbrushed manga down the sides like a couple of the serious track cars in Japan...

[GreenGoblin]

Ya if I didn't plan to track the car, the handles would have went bye bye.

[GreenGoblin]

A few new pics. After taking the heater core out, car has been overheating because the thermostat is not functioning correctly. I am going to make a new hot feed to the thermostat to bypass. So radiator needs to come out to weld a fitting on.

Also the clock spring gave up, so I gutted it.

[jared1988]

Also the clock spring gave up, so I gutted it.
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k241/Blt2lay/DSC02948.jpg


lol. my wife worked at a dealership and she would go back to the workshop and talk to the mechanics and she saw they pulled the engine and she asked "why?", he said "we had to change refill the wiper fluid" :rofl

at least i hope thats a funny. unless a clock spring is something important other than keeping time :confused

[GreenGoblin]

Thanks guys, unfortunatly the clock spring doesn't go in the clock :( It is in the steering column assembly, it what allows you to have electronics in your steering wheel and still be able to turn the wheel. So right now I have no horn, with the Personal wheel, and radio controls, cruise etc with factory wheel.

[grayscale]

damn just spent 30 min reading thru this entire thread amazing work

and such attention to detail just amazes me

[GreenGoblin]

Thank you for reading.

[JawDropper]

I never get sick of coming in this thread and looking at your car. You def have skills my friend. So is this gonna be just strickly track or a street/track car?

[GreenGoblin]

It is both, it still is street legal I have even drove it to a couple local meets as is... lol I hope to get lots of track time in the car, on track wheels of corse, and the iforged ultra aggressive wheels are for fooling around on the street.

[GreenGoblin]

So I think I have my issues sorted out. Just so you guys know, I have been battling overheating issues now that I removed the heater. I studied the flow charts etc, and look at the spare heads I have, and if you delete the bypass across the front of the motor and the heater, the t-stat never gets hot water across it to open. I tried everything from spill free funnel to, having the system pressurized and back filled. Still over heated no mater what and stat would not open.

So here is the solution.
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k241/Blt2lay/DSC02953.jpg
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k241/Blt2lay/DSC02952.jpg
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k241/Blt2lay/DSC02951.jpg
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k241/Blt2lay/DSC02950.jpg

4an to supply hot water from the radiator, to t-stat. I also modified the Nismo stat by removing the tiny plunger to help relieve any air that would want to get trapped.

[andybob]

Such great work in this build. Attention to detail is some of the best I have ever seen.

[benofbse]

carbon roof skin did i see there? great thread :D

[andybob]

Soooo much win. Props to you man.

[Flavourless]

Great build but did u glass the sideskirts to the quarters and the quarters to the bumper? From the looks of the pictures you just duraglassed right overthe seams. Hope that's not the case. I wish you would have left ther rear bumper in molded cause IMHO it ruins the flow of the car from front to back. The front has the bunper line and the. U get to the rear and there is nothing. Anyways just my .02 can't wait to see it painted and gets me excited to get started on my roomates g this winter.

[JasperThomas]

After doing that much bodywork to a car I would be scared to leave the garage with it, in fear of getting rear ended or something. But you're probably braver than me. ;)

[Will@BagRiders]

good stuff dude!

[GreenGoblin]

Why did you not glass the seam? I mean all this work and to not do it properly in that area seams pointless. That will crack you know that right?

[GreenGoblin]

Why did you not glass the seam? I mean all this work and to not do it properly in that area seams pointless. That will crack you know that right?Thank you for your concern, but you obviously did not read what I wrote... It is 8151 panel bonded, bolted, fiberglassed, then duraglassed.

[poker!!]

Thank you for your concern, but you obviously did not rear what I wrote... It is 8151 panel bonded, bolted, fiberglassed, then duraglassed.
