STM's Project "Ultimate Street Evo?"

Emery has always wanted an RS. He would like to drive this to the 2012 DSM Shootout, run a 9.50, and drive home, still keeping creature comforts such as A/C, radio and, you know, interior parts.

This RS will be his personal daily driver, so there are no customers to please, no wife to please (:)) and no one to tell him not to do something. This is his way all day.

I’m pretty excited to see how it turns out!

We’d like to thank some of the shops and sponsors we already have on board with this project:

They are a bit wide, and this will likely not be the final product. Emery has something else in mind.

Should have some updated interior tomorrow!

Lovin this already :tup:

Many doll hairs.

Good luck with the build. Your shop is beautiful!

Thanks guys. We will do our best to keep the pics coming.

Should have the rear end back in the RS soon so we can post pics of the wheel fitment. Running different offsets front to back.

Very nice… whats the target weight?

We’d like to see it around 2700 pounds.

http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs/rs65.jpg

I think the front wheels stick out too much. :frowning: But the interior is almost back to normal :slight_smile:

http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/z/stm_evo_rs/rs66.jpg

Rear fitment looks perfect :tup: I agree on the fronts, little much.

:tup: cleannnn

And after seeing the hideous VIII steering wheel in there, I broke into my Evo stash and donated this to the project. Pretty sure I’m not driving an Evo next year anyhow… but, oddly enough, that’s not the sound of me complaining :slight_smile:

I didn’t weigh them, but I could pick up the Hotchkis bar with one hand, I leaned in to pick up the stock one… forget it. Heavy.

They always put a smile on my face. :slight_smile:

Not a bad ratio inside the shop today:
2G DSM x2
1G DSM x2
Galant VR4 x2
Evo x4
and one lonely Subaru

Whole lot of black and white goin on in there, so nice!
