Most build threads do not begin with this as the “Before” images… Paul’s Taxi is absolutely stunning and meticulously well-kept and already boasting well over 700 hp (740 I believe, but someone will chime in) on the STM Mustang Heartbreaker with the 6466 and previous standard placement turbo kit. Now Paul’s car has a one-of-a-kind POLISHED STM Forward Facing Turbo Kit and in the shop this spring for a custom STM Cage, Small Brakes, CNC Staging Brake, some suspension magic and a little more work on the already gorgeous engine bay. Let’s see what this beast will do with a fresh tune on the STM manifold! Everyone at STM is downright excited for the 2014 race season! The standards are high! ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi2.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi2.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi3.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi3.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi4.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi4.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi5.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi5.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi6.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi6.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi7.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi7.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi8.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi8.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi9.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi9.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi10.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi10.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi11.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/paul_turbotaxi/stm_evo_turbotaxi11.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/images/stm_polished_evo_manifold.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/images/stm_polished_evo_manifold.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/images/stm_polished_evo_manifold2.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/images/stm_polished_evo_manifold2.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/images/stm_polished_evo_manifold3.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/images/stm_polished_evo_manifold3.jpg) ---

Once it’s all said and done, when Austin gets it on the scales I’m hoping the car weighs in at 2700 without me in it ---

Yep car will have a full interior with th cage. Rear bars will go through the seat belt holes and the fronts are going through the dash, I can’t stand when they come in front of the dash. It will be a 10 pt all said and done with tabs for a window net and parachute mount also for when I take it to the track. ---
