When is a Subaru not a Subaru? Episode 186 with Dewey, Art, and Smeedia

Flatirons Syndicate Motorsports Podcast

Show Notes

With the release of the latest Gymkhana video, Aussie Shred, we get to see the newest Vermont Sports Car creation in action at the hands of Travis Pastrana.When we last had Dewey, Art, and Smeedia on the podcast, the suggestion was made that we should talk about these new VSC cars because there is a bit of a question about whether or not they are actually Subarus.Why is this important?We get into exactly this in this episode, and we talk about what Subaru and VSC are doing with these cars, and...If Subaru is going to be showcasing their classic cars, shouldn't they do more to support those older models?There were technical difficulties with this recording as my internet decided to stop working, so we didn't get to finish the conversation, but this was too good to throw in the bin.So this is the first 2 parts of a 3 part conversation, and now we just need to find time to get Dewey, Art, and Smeedia back on to wrap things up.Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

If you own a car, it is pretty much a given that at some point you will need to take it to a shop to get some kind of work done.It could be that you just need to get your oil changed, or a new set of tires put on.But if you have a car that you have started to modify, or you are looking to start a build on your car, there is a good chance that you will need to find an experienced shop to help you along the path with your build for anything from installs, fabrication, set-up, tuning, etc.For this conversation, we sit down with Dan from Mach V Motorsports and Tony from Turn in Concepts to talk about the best practices to find a shop to work with.What is the best way to initially reach out?What kinds of questions should you ask?How important is budget?What if you have a problem you can't figure out?We get into all of these questions and more.Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

What happens when NASIOC goes down and doesn't come back?What about these new WRX and BRZ Anniversary editions?We had a plan for this episode of the podcast, but when NASIOC went down at the beginning of the week, and with all the discussion about the Limited Edition WRX and BRZ from Boxer Fest, that plan was pretty much thrown out the window.I'll also mention that Dewey was at the IAG Mother Ship for this episode, so his audio had a few glitches, and there wasn't anything that we could do to fix it in the edit. This was a great conversation and I hope you enjoy it.Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!
