IAG Thursday Thing EP.45: Talking Shop with Abbott Auto Performance!

This season was...rough to say the least. We talk about the last event at Pitt Race. Dylan and I break down our highs and lows of the season. Then we talk about where we go from here. We chat about the new IAG coilovers and answer some questions from the audience too!

We recorded this a couple weeks ago in Jerami Baileys trailer in anticipation of Dewey being out for a Tail of the Dragon trip and its a fun one. We chat with Jerami Bailey about old times and trying to be competitive in Club TR with a Subaru powered car. There is a TON of good info in here for anyone looking to swap an FA24 into a 1st Gen BRZ too! Then we chat with Adam Wood, the driver of a GC in GLTC. All the torque, none of the HP, and a pile of tire! This might be one of my favorite cars I've ever driven on track. Unfortunately after recording this his weekend was ended early. WE bring him back on for an update on that and the plans for the future. 2 great chats, 1 episode, all WIN!!

Most of you know Dom Acia from the Cyl 4 Chamber Cooling mod but he's been around a LOT longer than that. We talk about him getting into Subarus, his start in tuning, him being one of the god fathers of the destroker concept in Subarus, where the cooling mod came from and the data behind it, and some cool new stuff he's working on! So many people don't know Dom but after this you will have a better idea of how this mans brain works.

We FINALLY got Mary from AWD Tuning on the podcast! We talk about all sorts of stuff from Pikes Peak, drag racing, community, and future plans for the Legacy!

HOLY CRAP! Time flies when you're having fun! 50 Episodes went by like that!! We go over a bunch of analytics, our favorite episodes, and some stories from back in the day!

That got spicy lol. Long story short, sometimes in this game, you need some advice you might not want to hear. Maybe you know someone who needs this advice and you can share this with them. I'm betting everyone will find something in there that resonates with them when it comes to owning and modifying a Subaru.

Dewey and Warranty catch up on the recent Subaru community news including Cobb settles with the EPA, changes to the new BRZ, and what might be the most insane deal on a collectable Subaru ever? LET'S GOOOOO!!!!

BY FAR OUR LARGEST/LONGEST EPISODE EVER! We have Mike McGinnis from Innovative Tuning/Cobb, Graham Gaylord from Boosted Performance Tuning, And Samuel Hiu Bin from Dialed in Motorpsorts all on AT THE SAME TIME to go through every modern Subaru Tuning Solution we could think of and give their thoughts. Nearly 3 hours of PURE INFO DUMP! So much information your head might explode in one sitting (you have been warned) so I even made time stamps to skip to the section you want to listen to! 00:00:00 - Reflash and Piggyback options (Cobb, ECUTek, Open Source, UTEC, ect) 00:47:38 - Entry level ECU (Megasquirt, AEM, Hydra, ECUMaste, ect) 01:16:51 - Mid range ECU (Link, Haltech) 1:47:14 - Prosumer/Motorsports ECU + oddball (Emtron, Motec, Bosch, Syvecs)

We haven't done a good "Dewey spews a ton of info on one topic" in a while. With Warranty out, what better time than now to do it. This week Dewey covers all the basics of heat exchangers and how they work as it pertains to a Subaru (though the same principle works for all cars) . Lot's of great info in here. If you ever wondered about why radiators are different, where you need to put an oil cooler, or you are trying to just keep your temps down and not sure where to start, this is a good one!

Just some Michigan kids talking about Michigan things lol. Seriously though we love doing these but it's even cooler when you do them with your friends. We chat with Jake and Sam about Abbott's beginnings, what they are up to now, and where they are going! We also chat about a US based Subaru only Time Attack event and have a good talk about Link's new ECU for the 11+ STI!
