Paul's STM Tuned TurboTaxi (Stage 352) (813 HP!)

:tup: Killer car.

i’m scared of this thing.

That radiator hose scares me.

Just an update on the cage the main hoop back is all done and welded up. Austin started on the front half today and had some fairly solid progress.

hopefully the cage can be all finished and welded up by the weekend

Where did the brake fluid go in the after pic? Reservoir went way down.

Im assuming since he changed to the STM brake kit thats what happened…

I think it was too heavy :stuck_out_tongue:

Cage is all in and tacked up. Just have to get fully welded up now.

then putting it all back together… still waiting on my front brake hats to come in though

Pardon the potential ignorance, but how exactly does that parachute mount function?

edit: I love this car, fyi

That’s for the handle, not the actual chute. Looks good, I’ll probably be stopping in sometime to discuss a cage as long as you don’t mind working on dumbestics :slight_smile:

Austin owns a c5z. I’m sure he won’t mind!

yea thats the handle mount that will hold the handle itself, then a cable will run to the back of the car where the actual chute will be itself.

except mine will be mounted horiztontally so if i leave it on it wont be hanging down in my face. the window net, chute, and chute mount handle are removeable in my case so when i drive the car around on the street i wont have to deal with them. however i will probably leave the parachute on out back just for badass factor

Looks good. How is it thru the dash ? Are the vents just removed and the tubing is thru that ? Or just cut a u shape ? I don’t remember what our interior looks like Lol

Cool :tup:

Austin worked his magic and put it through the dash

:tup:

Shits gettin real!

looks good man. i don’t see why 8s are out of the question with it going to be as light as it is !

This Evo is coming together quite nicely!
