Holy crap. Great car preparation! Albeit great driving too Em!

Congratulations on the weight, ET, and record!

Can you take some pics of the interior of the car? (not trying to be sassy, just curious)

 

Hahaha that should be in Emery's signature lol

Amazing job guys. I SOOOOOO wish you guys were closer

 

amazing!! Good job

 

anyone have thoughts on the power steering? seems emery has no problem driving it on the street without power steering. Others say its a nightmare.

 

Removing ps isn't terrible, but it's certainly a work out. Once the car is rolling it's not bad.

 

Wow, congrats!

How do you get the car so light? Mine is gutted and still 3140 w/out me in it. PM me if needed.

What do you mean gutted? That is almost the factory weight, so you definitely didn't gut it.

There is a lot more weight loss than just removing the back seat and the spare tire

 

Hate to be a stickler, but if you modded the cams, can you really still call it a stock motor? I just think it should be called a stock block/stock turbo record. Regardless, congrats on a sick time with a little turbo.

 

Fixed it. My mess up.

Congrats well done!!

Does this COP kit have a brand name

 

Nice work as usual, STM.

Great job STM crew & Emery for driving!! 2600 lbs with 235lbs of Emery in there is crazy! I would love to see you guys hit 9s with this car...I would be very interested in seeing what a ported IX turbo would do on this car also....

I would love to pick up another evo to do something like this with because I can't even seem to pull the AC out of my MR...haha...

 

Yeah, You havent gutted anything. My car, while an RS, has full interior and weights 3000 w/o driver. Still has PS, AC, heater, Etc. Even though mines an RS, you can do all the RS "weight saving" on a GSR/MR.

 

I think u could argue that cams make an engine no longer stock, but in reality a stock bottom end is what is really goin to fall apart first

 

I've driven a FC rx-7 where the owner deleted the power steering with a non-manual rack, and the car was gutted to nearly the max like this car. It was a total nightmare to drive without power steering, an Evo with no power steering has to be way worst with more or the weight being over the front wheels. Someone should make a manual rack for the Evo if possible, then it wouldn't be so bad. Emery must have some big ol guns, lol..
