"Everything you need to know: Accusump vs Dry Sump As we have started to put out a lot more information about our experience running the Roger Clark Motorsport Dry Sump on our race car we have started to get more questions about how a Dry Sump oiling system compares to an Accusump. And when an Accusump might be a better option. So we decided to made a video to take a look at both options. Hopefully this is helpful and thanks for watching Also here are links to the other videos that we have made on this subject: https://youtu.be/ceUwuc4ubK0 https://youtu.be/StS0UKVhEGE"

"Subaru's [-----] Rear Ring and Pinion ratio explained From [----] all the way to [----] all STI's had a final drive of 3.9:1. But there were two different rear differential ring and pinion ratios used. And for the WRX most of them also had a 3.9:1 final drive as well up to [----] (the [--] and [--] WRX had a 3.7:1 final drive) and they also used two different rear R&P ratios used. The one that has caused the most confusion through the years is the [-----] R&P ratio and in this video we want to explain what it is and how it still gives a 3.9:1 final drive. Hopefully this helps to clarify the differences."

"Track Shakedown for our Pikes Peak WRX STI Track testing a Race Car is exactly that. Testing. The hope is always that the car works well goes fast and you can spend the day working with the driver to fine-tune the set-up etc. But that isn't usually how it works. More often than not you end up finding some weak-links that need to be addressed. In some cases your day can end up being pretty short if you run into a big enough issue. We went out to High Plains Raceway for two days of testing and pretty much covered all of those bases. Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned for the next episode"

"WRX vs STI Would the [--] Speed & DCCD Tip the Scales With the WRX starting to lose the battle with the GR Corolla in terms of price and performance it needs something to tip the scales back into its favor. There are a lot of things that Subaru could do but what if it just would take a simple and small change to get the WRX back on top Like putting the STI drivetrain under the VB WRX They could easily do it and since it would be replacing an existing drivetrain the cost increase wouldn't be that much. Since there isn't an STI currently to compete with wouldn't this make the most sense to get"

"Is the [----] WRX a good value compared to previous WRXs There is no question that car prices are the highest that they have ever been. This was the topic of our latest Podcast in fact. But that got us wondering what would happen if we looked at current Subaru prices another way. What if we looked at a [----] WRX but with [----] dollars What if we took inflation out of the equation to compare the [----] WRX with the [----] WRX Would the current car be a better or worse value And how does the STI factor into that We ran some comparisons and the results weren't what we were expecting. We go through all"

"Why have cars become so expensive For episode #160 of the Flatirons Syndicate Podcast Jon Tasso and Jeremy sit down to try to figure out why cars are so expensive. I'd make the argument that cars that cost more than $60000 are irrelevant to most of us but most of the fun cars are sitting just above or well above that mark now. So what happened And how do cup holders fit in Thanks for watching and make sure you are following OTC Racing and Money Shift Rally to stay up on what Tasso and Jeremy are up to as well.

"Subaru is bringing the STI back #subaru #wrxsti When Subaru announced that there was going to be a new WRX in [----] but that there would not be an STI version it was hard to believe. Up to that point there had been many rumors about how the next STI was going to be a game changer. A big step forward from the current (2021) STI. Many of us were disappointed. For a while all of the information coming out from all sources was that the next STI was going to be fully electric but that it wouldn't be coming out until the end of the decade. Nine years without an STI was not only surprising but it"

"67 Days to Pikes Peak - -AN Lines and wiring With [--] days left until the [----] Pikes Peak Hill Climb we have made a lot of progress in the last [--] or so days.

But we have got most of that done. We have also made a lot of progress with the re-worked wiring for the car as well. We go through everything that we are working currently in this video and the goal now is to get everything in terms of wiring"

"50 Days to Pikes Peak [----] - On the Dyno The first step for us to get our car on the dyno was to work through our issues to get the engine to start for the first time. And that is exactly what we did. We fire up the engine for the first time and check over the engine before heading to the dyno. From there we let Harvey from The Boostcreep work his magic on the engine and we have our initial results. We still have some things to finish work on and another trip to the dyno is in our future before we take the car to the track to shake it down. Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned"
