IAG Performance Thursday Thing!

Rallysport Direct was once THE FIRST spot you would check for your Subaru parts. Over the past years a lot has changed though. Now though, new owners have came in, hired enthusiasts like their new COO Jeff Foster and they are relaunching the once great brand. We dig into the plan, what worked back in the day and what needs to happen to bring it back to it's former glory!

We have a pile of short topics in this one plus where Boogey sits one week out of Gridlife Round 1 at CMP! Come catch up with us!

This one went all over but that makes it fun. Topics include "how do you become an IAG Certified Engine Installer?" "What are your other hobbies?" "Most fun car you have owned?" and "What is the best path for tuning your suspension on the car". ALL THIS AND MUCH MORE! (Seriously we went all over)

Being real...I'm super bummed we lost half this episode. It got good but we did save the explanation of what ACTUALLY happened and why at least Dewey thinks this is a good thing. It unfortunately cuts off mid conversation as we had not one, but TWO massive technical failures (both of which have been rectified and will not happen again) causing us to lose the last half of what was an absolute BANGER.Sorry folks. Can't win em all I guess.

Look, we all love JDM parts. Forbidden little tidbits of goodness that we never got there in North America. Max though...this man is on a TOTALLY different level. His collection is like nothing I have ever seen. My words will not do this justice. Meet the guy behind it, what drives him, his hardest parts to get, and crazy stories about saving parts from certain doom and throwing 3/4 of something in the garbage for one piece.

Warranty's Birthday means we get to do his favorite thing, talk about all sorts of news! A little something for everyone.

Warranty and Dewey put on their tinfoil hats and look at the timeline of when things were announced to who and what was changed at Subaru in hopes of making sense of everything. This plays right into what we think 2026 will be. What do you think?

Dewey can't stop talking about his upcoming Bug Eye WRX purchase and his vision for a new content series about actually DOING things with your car. Plus, we pay tribute to Joe Sanguinetti, an OG RS25.com community member who recently passed. The crew gets into a heated (but agreeable?) debate about what Subaru needs to do with the next STI - should it be raw and dangerous or refined and comfortable? Warranty schools us on camping at Laguna Seca, shows off his bike collection, and we answer a tech question about IAG oil system components. All this on the day before Christmas!

Fresh from the PRI Show in Indianapolis, the crew records from a hotel room to break down their PRI weekend. Topics include GridLife's explosive growth (90,000 tickets sold!), sponsor meetings with Garrett, Fuel Lab, Cobb, and more, plus an in-depth interview with Jeremy Bailey about Club TR weight reduction strategies. The team discusses the future of Subaru resto-modding, IWire's revolutionary DCCD controller, and the importance of maintaining industry relationships. Special guest Producer Jordan and Warranty join for stories about walking 17,000+ steps daily, surviving Indiana snow, and yes... Warranty's first strip club experience.

In this special Thanksgiving episode, the crew dives into Subaru's legendary Gymkhana builds—from Ken Block's iconic cars to Travis Pastrana's wild new BRAT. Are these extreme Vermont Sports Car creations still relatable to everyday enthusiasts, or have they become pure spectacle? Dewey even brings in his 6-year-old son Oliver for his expert take on what makes these builds cool!The conversation shifts to celebrating a championship-winning season, with heartfelt shout-outs to the sponsors, tuners, and unsung heroes who made it possible. Jordan shares updates on his Emtron build, Warranty talks suspension setup and winter tires, and the team reflects on what they're most thankful for this year.Plus: Black Friday sale hints, team dynamics, and why chasing experiences beats chasing power/mods every time.
