The 2011 STM Stealth Build Has Begun... Carnage Inside

[Austin@STM]

Still not completely sure which way im going to take the car in for a turbo setup, but for sure its gonna be lighter (yes its possible to still be lighter), and its gonna look a lot better.

I think this will be the last season i daily drive this car, hopefully put another 15k+ miles on it this coming season, and then 2012 it goes full race car status, and somewhere in the 2200 pound range im thinking.

Saturday it all began, pulled the car in, washed it, the engine bay, the interior, everything i could reach basically.




Then Monday night the fun began, first to come off was the front bumper



then the front mount



then the piping and wiring started coming out



and then tuesday the front end was retired of its duty



oops 54 pounds just fell off the car.

Right now its sitting there like this waiting for me to loosen more bolts later tonight




Let the games begin!
