IAG Performance Thursday Thing!

With the release of the destroker options to our EJ lineup, we thought it might be a good idea to talk about if a destroker makes sense or not for you application. This get a bit "rambly" but the info is solid. Then we have a classic "ask Dewey" segment that answers a LOT of great questions the audience asked in a thread on the IAG Insiders Lounge.

What an episode. Jon from Flatirons Tuning fown some time to sit down with us and chat about where he's from, where the shop came from and a bunch of other stuff. We go over the recent AOS issues he brought up and some great commentary on "Subaru on Subaru" violence within the community. Great chat!!

So this episode...was a disaster. What it was SUPPOSED to be was a great talk about wheels but due to technical difficulties (not on our end this time) we had to pivot and it just ended up being a fun chat about all sorts of stuff ranging from the car Dewey rented and how it compares to a new BRZ, the "chicken tax" and why we can't have small trucks, and Smeedia special guests and ch...

!!UPDATE!! - We had some technical issues with recording today and there is some missing audio in here. Thankfully you didn't miss much in what was missing but there is some strange jumps. Were still new at this LOL! Well this was a strange one! We tackle the "AOS is a band-aid" topic that seems to have come up recently. We also went on to chat about different Subarus and their best...

Today we chat with Victor May from SubieEvents, the company behind a LOT of the largest Subaru Events in North America (Wicked Big Meet, Subie Fest, and Boxer Fest). We chat about the community, the changes it's went through, how he got into Subarus and his past (Mountain Roo) and also Dewey rants about a national level track event he would love to see. Great chat and a LOT of talk about commu...

Man you thought the first one was good? This was was fantastic! We learned all sorts of stuff about what you need to do to develop a performance product these days, all about the new Cobb Tuning stuff for the GR86/BRZ, Super Lap Battle news, and even getting BMW ABS working in a GC! Plus new stuff coming like a new DCCD controller for the true nutcases out there. This was a BANGER!!!!

We chat about changes made to our AOS and how it effects the end user. Then we have a classic "Ask Dewey" where we answer your questions asked in the IAG Insiders Lounge on Facebook. We cover a ton of different topics from "VA/VB trans swaps into other cars" all the way to "what is the perfect STI?". There is even a rant about Corvettes in there lol!

Someone set Dewey off again! Todays episode is about DCCD. How it REALLY works, do's and don't, what situations to use what and why. Plus some great talks about 6MT swaps, positives and negatives to different year 6MTs, and even a small chat about nitrous lol. Lot's of new people in the chat too so we got lots of new blood asking great questions! If you ever wondered about DCCD then TH...

We love nothing more than to have "pillars of the Subaru community" on the show and there aren't many who fit that bill more than Mike McGinnis from Innovative Tuning/Cobb Tuning. This man has been involved with everything from tuning all forms of race cars, help develop tuning platforms with Cobb and others, and built a bunch of the cars himself. Today we chat about where he came fr...

I know I say "this was great" a lot but I'm having a hard time saying anything but on this one. Paul is someone I've wanted to have on here for a long time. He's a mainstay in the Subaru community in southern California. He's a tuner, fabricator, and owner of Yimi Sport. Today we chat about where the name came from, what got him into tuning, Time Attack with Mark Jager&#3...

Today we chat with Zack, an R&D engineer at Fortune Auto about all sorts of coilover and suspension related topics! We go over a lot of myths and misconceptions about suspension and honestly learn quite a bit! If you ever considered coilovers for your car this is a great one!

This week we are joined by the man, the myth, the legend Mr. Rick Wilson from Dirty Racing Products (DRP). Where did DRP come from? How did they go from rally, to drag, and now to time attack? We hit on all of it and have a great time doing it! This is a great "Subaru's vs the World" episode! It's great story!

Today we talk with Subaru "OG" Ryan at Turbotime in NC!  Topics include: AWD Turbo Chevy S10s, dealers being dealers, riding lions, NASIOC member numbers, and Dave Mirra stories.  Grab a snack or hit cruise, it's a long one but it's fun!

This was a REALLY dense one. Dewey and Warranty chat with Graham at Boosted Performance Tuning about the switch from a Haltech to an Emtron ECU. If talk about crazy boost control strategies and advances tuning concepts are your jam THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU! Boogeyman is receiving an electronics overhaul to include an Emtron ECU, drive by wire, crazy wastegates and blow off valves, and a a PDM. This...

What is an "STI" to you? Warranty and Dewey discuss what it is to them. Dewey also goes off about RA blocks and who they are for and who they are NOT for.

Last episode of 2023. We talk about plans for next year. Also we talk about the "tape list". What it is, and why it's important. We also make tentative plans for February Tail of the Dragon meet for the IAG Thursday Thing listeners! Let's go!!!

So the IDEA of this show was to talk about being awkward at Christmas parties when you are a "car person" and even more strange a "Subaru person" but it quickly spiraled into a psychanalysis on how our brains work and how we have literally no idea how to talk to normal people lol. If you are a car person of ANY sort and you have been in this situation you will appreciate this o...

What a BANGER episode! We do a recap of the insane season we had in Gridlife Track Battle and the Street Mod Championship we won THROUGH the eyes of Dylan, the guy holding this car together all season. ALSO MASSIVE news from PRI this last week. Link released some epic options for tuning that could TOTALLY change the landscape of FA tuning.

This was a fun one. Things that tuners see that make them go "I don't know bro...". Some fun stories and things you might want to look out for before you take your car in for a tune.

This started as a topic, turned into a rambling rant, then Gridlife Track Mod Champion and McLaren pilot, Jason Kanakry hopped on and stirred it up. This gave us some great talking points and amazingly we both ended with the same surprise conclusion!

Great talk today with Chris at Six Star Motorsports near Chicago. We chatted about everything from his past, the shops history, SEMA, differences between Chicago and FL customers, doing it "right", the new VB WRX, how CVTs don't actually suck, and a bunch of other stuff! Check it out!

Boogey ended the season with a bang...and a fire lol. Let's talk about it.

Just Dewey ranting about the new WRX TR, we chat as a group about sim racing, the new Forza, BRZ or Supra, and some talk about the up coming Gridlife Laguna event! Remember we are live on Discord every Thursday at 4PM EST if you want to participate! https://discord.gg/bVnDfbtbvb

The idea was to talk about the new WRX TR but James joins us and we go on a pretty wild tangent for the future of the FA, problems and solutions, and just our general love/hate for the VB Chassis. Honestly its a great one! You learn a LOT about the FA differences and things you can and can't do when modifying them (FA20 BRZ/FRS and WRX included!)

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! We tied up the Championship. Dylan and I talk about the ups and downs of the season, our favorite parts, and just general overview of where we were, where we are at, and where we are going! Remember you can join in live every Thursday at 4PM EST at the link below: https://discord.gg/UCCtcHvejh
