Flatirons Syndicate Motorsports Podcast

Show Notes

There has been a lot that has gone on since we last had this group together, and we wanted to cover all of those topics in this episode.Dewey was just running his car Boogie at Gridlife Midwest Fest, and we start off talking about how that all went.Subaru has now announced that they are working 3 new Manual Transmission cars that should be coming out by the end of next year, the most exciting of which is what they are saying will be the production version of the STI Performance B Concept car. But it sounds like they may also be making the STI Transmission (TY85) available in at least some WRX models???What does this all mean, and what will we see here in the US market? We give you our thoughts.Finally, Tanner has picked up a 2005 STI, that is very close to stock, and it is basically a Time Capsule to 2005 (It has been tuned on a V1 AccessPort for the last 19 years). Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

For Episode 216 of the Podcast, Dewey, Art, Tanner, and Jon all sit down to talk about the Japan Mobility Show news...At least that was the plan.But the show was run differently this year, and there was no News to discuss, so we decided to Pivot and talk about Driving.Dewey is just back from driving at Tail of the Dragon, and he had a blast in his STI swapped GD WRX.Cars are built and designed to be driven, and we ended up having a great discussion about why it is so good to just get out there and drive your car.Hope you enjoy this episode.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!
