When there's something to add, they will update the thread. Lot of fab and misc work going on with the car in the spare time when the shops not busy with customer cars and R&D.
Hang tight guys!

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.
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
Ricer is overseeing the whole project.
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.
Sneak peek at the new STM Evo X Drag Brakes!
And the mountain of purple grows!
Skunk2 Manifold (STM Port Work)
Full Blown Throttle Body
Aeromotive Fuel Rail
Weldon Electric Fuel Pump
Weldon Filters
Weldon Regulator
Russell Purple Fittings
Dress Up Bolts
STM Hats and Brackets anodized purple for the Drag Brake Kits!
The entire idea of having this car done by the beginning of November was very optimistic to say the least. But never the less, we have the whole winter to build and test!

i actually expected more of a weight loose when cutting the front end off. 17lbs is not much. but it is something like you said.
you guys should consider making a jig for the chromo front end. make them to sell and the buyer just cuts there's off and welds on the STM tube front end. i dought it would be a hot seller but i bet you will sell a good amount of them.

I asked the same thing on there FB page lol, I cant see it saving more than 10lbs after they make a moly tube front end. Maybe if they incorporate the front motor mount into the moly front end eliminating the cross member(if that's safe to do)
I would love to see a complete bolt in ready kirkey seat package put together

When I was building RC trucks, I was searching for grams, everywhere. Every little bit adds up.
