> [@Saxon](#): > > im sure they are more than capable, but to build the motors for mass production its quite expensive to have all of the tooling. i think its rather smart to outsource parts of their projects that they woudlnt be able to reproduce at the same price Agreed. Going back to the whole ‘if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it’ mentality. Burshur has quite the rep and clearly builds a mean motor. Still, if STM ever decided to build their own and have their name on it, that would be pretty rad. ---

Justin was pretty spot on with his explanation. Allows you to run a lower tire pressure without fear of the bead separating from the rim. Same thing guys with off-road trucks do to an extent with their “bead lock” wheels. ---

Not saying to reinvent the wheel. What I mean is it would be huge to for them to build a bottom end to hold the power they make. That would also give customers more options and be able to choose what pistons/rods/bearings…to fit their budget and power goals. ---

Built or not, A tune is the best thing you can do to that car. All the bolt ons in the world wont make much of a difference until you change the turbo. ---

Wish I would have known it before I bought all my stuff. Just call up the shop and order up a test pipe, a hallman and have emery tune it. It will be within 10-15 horsepower of my full bolt on X.

Nice work guys. > [@Emery](#): > > Built or not, A tune is the best thing you can do to that car. All the bolt ons in the world wont make much of a difference until you change the turbo. I had every Buschur part available when I sold my Evo. Sometimes I wonder where my car is and if the new owner put the last piece(turbo) of the puzzle in there. 🙂 ---

The drag car looks amazing. And Emery’s tunes are worth every penny. Two bolt ons, a boost controller and a tune in my X and it was a completely different car. ---

Sorry guys, I’ve definitely been slacking… but in other news, STM will have a new website layout soon!! That’s been slightly time consuming to say the least. 🙂 Anyhow, the STM RS will be an absolutely incredible masterpiece to behold. You thought Ricer was pretty… It’s in pieces and parts, but when she is done… this Evo will drop jaws… sitting still. This car is going to be awesome… er. {thumbup} First up, we have completely designed and fabricated the cage here, in-house, at STM. The pictures do it more justice than any words I have could. The rear parachute mount is last… then on to the paint 🙂 ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs29.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs29.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs30.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs30.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs31.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs31.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs32.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs32.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs33.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs33.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs34.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs34.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs35.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs35.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs36.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs36.jpg) Ricer is overseeing the whole project. ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs37.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs37.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs38.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs38.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs39.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs39.jpg) The front core support is gone (Can I take a moment to mention this car already ran an 8.71?) and the piece dropped off only 17.05 pounds, but necessary for the overall design. ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs40.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs40.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs41.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs41.jpg) ![http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs42.jpg](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs_2013/evo_rs42.jpg) Sneak peek at the new STM Evo X Drag Brakes! {thumbup} And the mountain of purple grows!
