208. Smeedia on the EJ33 Swap, Modding Subarus and Choosing Builds
Notas do episódio
Tanner and Matt from Smeedia join the show to talk building EJs the right way, why "reliable" high-horsepower Subarus aren't reality, and the black box data that gets people caught trying to hide a tune from the dealership. And of course the EJ33.
