THE NEWS!!!! There was a bunch the last few weeks so it needed it's own episode. Listen in, learn some stuff and have a good time doing it!
We did it again! We locked up the 2025 Gridlife Street Mod Championship in grand fashion at Autobahn, an event we weren't even supposed to go to! Let's chat about that and chat about Randy's first time at a Boxerfest event!
Good times!
Ever hear something a tuner or someone who might know a thing or two (or sometimes people that THINK they know a thing or two) and wonder "WTF DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? We today we clear that up! Graham from Boosted Performance Tuning does the community a solid and explains a TON of terms tuners and those with tuning knowledge use and explains them in a way pretty much anyone should understand. This is a great one for beginners and old heads who need a refresh alike.
Let us know if we missed any in the comments!
Wanna go fast in a VB? This is your shop! Nate and the team have went faster and made more power with this platform than anyone! Find out a bit more about him, the shop, and going fast in a VB!
We all know Dylan as "the guy who makes Boogey work". Where did he come from? How did he get into this? What does he think on "X" topic? This one was supposed to be quick and turned into an hour and half of some GREAT questions by our Discord. It's got something in here for everyone!
It's Pirating season! We are well on our way to stealing another ship. Let's unpack everything that happened at Gridlife Circuit Legends at Lime Rock Park this last weekend with Boogey and the other Subarus. It was a great weekend for Subarus overall so you are going to want to listen in on this one for sure!
We all had to "adult" earlier in the day so we get together for an evening chat and honestly, it worked out great!
We mostly chat about what we think the next WRX SHOULD be in our minds.
We also chat about the Company 23 and Kartboy merger!
It's a great one! Let us know what you think!
WE BACK BABY!!! Gridlife Road America was a a massive success. Find out the whole story!
We also have Mary from AWD Tuning on to talk about her first Gridlife experience PLUS how it compares to other events she's been to.
It's a long one, grab a snack or put on cruise control lol!
We have a NORMAL SHOW! Warranty is back! Lot's of stuff to talk about! Producer Jordan even joins in for a bit. All in all great stuff!
We have a LEGEND on the podcast this time! Brian Keene from IWire has helped, along with his team there, COUNTLESS people with swaps and other wiring solutions in Subarus over the past decades. Now they are releasing some REALLY EXCITING products that at the surface level look simple but REALLY could change the way we mess with our cars. We talk about his history, the history of IWire, and where they are going from here. It was a great one!
What happened at Mid Ohio? A LOT. Let's talk about it!
We all know Boogey but do you know where most of the recipe for Boogey came from? Graham and Kim's 2011 STI NASTI is literally the "ying to the yang" in the development of Boogey. The amount of information and resource sharing between these two cars is unreal. Learn about it here!
Gridlife Midwest Festival never ceases to bring the drama and 2015 was no different. We set and epic record...and then make a bad choice and come home with 2nd. The epic highs, the massive lows, all in one weekend.
BONUS! Mary from AWD Tuning joins us to talk about her trip to Wicked Big Meet which happened on the same weekend!
Today, we catch up on topics we have wanted to chat about for a bit. Topics include "What is the "Flat Four Showdown?"" "Travis Pastrana's new Limited rally car and what his motivations are" and a BUNCH more.
Check it out and be sure to leave a comment on Spotify!
This week we cover a topic that is DESPERATLY needed right now. We need to get back to IN PERSON meets. Covid messed it up and it's up to use to bring it back. How do you do that? Easy! Listen to this episode and Dewey dumps a pile of knowledge on how to make it happen!
If you listened to the last episode you know just getting there was an ordeal. Now we talk about the results. Was the sequential cool? Did the diff work? Did the hood stay down? All this PLUS Warranty is back and he's got his new goodies installed!
We catch up with Dewey, Dylan, Jordan, and Jerami Bailey at Road Atlanta the night before the track goes hot and catch up on what it took to get Boogey ready for the event. A LOT changed including a new sequential gearset!
This one was ALL over the place. We talk about future plans for Boogey, plans for after Boogey, why Dewey is so awkward, ADHD medication, thoughts on the VB, and a ton more other questions. Shout out to the chat for taking what should have been a quick 1 hour episode and stretching it for a full 2 hours!
