Big Changes, CARB Parts, and Green Speed full details - Catching up with Cobb Tuning
Cobb Tuning has been at the center of Subaru Performance basically since it was founded in 1999. When they released the first version of the AccesPort in 2004, they completely changed the way that Tuning worked, and established the foundation for what the future of Subaru Performance would be for decades to come.In this episode, Jon and Dan (Mach V Motorsports) sit down with Tadd Crayton (President of Cobb Tuning) and Billy Brooks (Chief Technical and Compliance Officer) to get a clear picture of where Cobb is now, and what they are working on for the future.We start out the conversation talking about the Green Speed initiative which was the point where Cobb set a new standard for CARB compliance for all of their Performance Parts.We then talk about the changes that are happening at Cobb this year as they re-structure to work with some of the brands that their Parent Company (Engineered Performance Technologies) has added to their group, specifically Grimmspeed, PRL, and Hondata.From there, we talk about some of the things that Cobb has been working on for the future, specifically a CARB approved Down Pipe (which still has a little development to go, but is getting close) and the possibility of a CARB approved Flex-Fuel kit in the future.Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

Climbing Mount Race Car - Dunning-Kruger for Car Enthusiasts
The path of the Automotive Enthusiast is one that is full of fun and excitement, but there are many traps and challenges that await you along the road. Those of us that have been building, tracking, or racing cars for years will tell you that those traps and challenges are how you learn and that finding your way through these trials is as much a part of being an enthusiast as having a perfect trouble-free day at the track.There is an argument out there that the less you know about what could go wrong, or how challenging a task may be, the easier it is to get excited about it, and the more likely you are to jump in head first to the challenge.Ignorance is Bliss as they say…I was having a conversation with Dewey about some of the recent issues that we ran into with our Pikes Peak car, specifically about how a very simple and cheap part caused a somewhat significant issue on our run up the mountain this year, and how frustrating it can be to work through these problems. He said that there has to be something like the Dunning-Kruger Effect that applies to Race Cars that related to what we were working through now, and which is something that most all of us who have frequently tracked our cars, or worked on or around a race team have run into.It was immediately clear that this was a broader conversation that we needed to have, and we decided to bring in Tony from Turn in Concepts to help us work through all of this, and hopefully gain a clearer perspective on why we push through all of this.I think that there is likely something in this conversation for anyone from a true novice that is just starting to think of taking their car to the track for the first time, through to someone like us that has been working around race cars for a while now, with full knowledge of what it takes to properly prep a car, and all that could go wrong when you are pushing a car at speed.I hope that you enjoy the conversation and Stay Tuned!

Is Private Equity Hurting the Automotive Aftermarket?
In the Automotive Aftermarket world, there has been a change happening in the background that has been under the radar up until the last few years.A few Private Equity groups have been slowly starting to take hold of more and more Automotive brands, and in some cases of late, the changes that are coming out of this are becoming more and more noticeable.With this in mind, Jon sat down with Justin from Overtake USA, and Dan from Mach V Motorsport to dive into the subject.For this episode, we decided to take a look at:- What it looks like when Private Equity invests in a company- How and why it can go well- When it can go wrongJustin has lived through both sides of this experience with the first company that he founded, Grimmspeed, so he has a lot of experience and perspective on this to share.Thanks for listening and Stay Tuned!

Subaru's 3 new MT Cars (New STI? TY85 WRX?), Dewey's Run at Gridlife, Smeedia's New 2005 STI
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!
