[00:00:36] Hi, this is Laura Sait and you can find me on Instagram at Rodknock on your score WRX

[00:00:41] and you're listening to Episode 186 of the Subie amp podcast.

[00:00:46] Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of the Subie amp amp podcast

[00:00:50] as you just heard I have Larissa on the podcast.

[00:00:54] She and her husband were very kind to let me come over and record this episode

[00:00:58] and show me around a little bit because it's very interesting how they work on their

[00:01:06] Subaru's and we get into that in this episode.

[00:01:10] So I also did something that I didn't think I would ever have to do.

[00:01:14] I'll go ahead and throw it out there now but I had to put a seat in the car.

[00:01:19] So the three of us were trying to find all the bolts that go into holding the seat in

[00:01:25] and we all finally found him. Her husband found a couple of them and then we found the other two.

[00:01:31] And so we were able to get the seat in so that it could be safe in the car.

[00:01:37] So anyway, we will get into that here in a little bit but I want to let everybody know that

[00:01:42] Subie Fest Florida will be coming up here in the next few weeks.

[00:01:45] It's going to be held Saturday, October 5th at Daytona International Speedway.

[00:01:50] So go ahead and get your tickets before the events so that you don't have to wait and

[00:01:55] line and buy your tickets. Makes it much easier to get into the gate and start checking out all of the

[00:02:01] awesome Subaru's that will be there and the activities and just makes it easier to start today

[00:02:08] and your Subie Adventure there. And then after Subie Fest Florida we have Subie Fest Texas on Saturday

[00:02:16] October 19th to close out the Subie Fest season. So it's going to be great. Hopefully it won't

[00:02:23] be too hot because it's going to be mid-October past mid-October and we're all hoping that

[00:02:30] it's not going to be blazing hot. So looking forward to that and now the word from our sponsor.

[00:06:23] sube and you podcast. Okay I have a patron question of the week and this one comes from Will who goes

[00:06:28] by Subaru guy 11 and he asks if you could travel anywhere in the world with your Subaru where would

[00:06:36] you go. I was thinking about that for a little bit and I've been to Colorado in my Subaru

[00:06:41] Bender Arkansas but a place that I was able to explore just for a little bit and not a whole lot of it

[00:06:49] was in the Pacific Northwest in Washington. Thank you so much Charlie Falcon Roo 1 for letting me

[00:06:55] drive the Falcon always will appreciate that and you've created some great memories for us. So thank

[00:07:02] I would love to go explore the Pacific Northwest. Not just Washington but just that whole area.

[00:07:08] There are so many people that I see going to some really, really beautiful spots, so many trails

[00:07:16] and not only that but there's also so many like incredible views up there and I would love to just

[00:07:24] go explore and check it all out. When I went up there with Luke we only got a chance to see

[00:07:29] part of it because there was a lot of the passes and trails that were closed off because they were

[00:07:36] still snow because we went during spring break and so we just didn't get a chance to see too much

[00:07:42] but what we did get to see was really beautiful and I would love to go up there and explore more

[00:07:48] of that but it's over a day drive. So that'd be kind of crazy but I know if I were able to take

[00:07:54] the time off and could afford to go up there for a few days or like a week or two weeks I know

[00:08:00] it would be totally worth the drive but so can always dream. Anyway thank you so much will for your

[00:08:06] question I appreciate that and now we'll get into this episode and hear about Larissa and Philips

[00:08:13] Subaru's and just the craziness that goes on over at their house but all the fun that they get to

[00:08:18] have while doing it so here we go. Welcome to the podcast. Thank you. It's been a long time coming.

[00:08:33] It has been. I'm excited. Especially since you're here in Houston. Yeah. But it mean it's fun because

[00:08:38] then we kind of record in person. Yeah. Makes it better. I agree. So I know that pulling up to your house

[00:08:45] is easier to find your house because you can see all the Subaru's in the driveway and I know

[00:08:52] you have more than what's there but I counted six so how many Subaru's do you currently own? Currently,

[00:08:57] we own seven. Okay which ones like what models are they? All of them are either WX's or SDI's

[00:09:06] so they range from 2003 WX to a I think the newest one we own is a 2013 SDI hatch. Okay yeah because

[00:09:16] you have sedan and hatches. Yes. I think the one you're most famously known for is Clifford. Yes.

[00:09:24] This is a ribbon. Yep that one's awesome. Thank you. You're welcome. Yeah Clifford is a 2011 WX.

[00:09:32] It's been converted as much as you can convert a WX into an SDI so the whole drivetrain

[00:09:40] actually kept the hubs so the hubs are still in the front axles if I remember right. Yes,

[00:09:47] if all the hubs in the front axles are still to be rex and then other than not everything will

[00:09:52] SDI. Yeah. So where did this obsession with like Subaru's begin with and then

[00:09:59] I guess like the modifying them how you have? It's a hard question. So we sort of off of Clifford.

[00:10:07] Clifford was the very first one. That was back in 2017 actually after Harvey hid. So that was when you bought

[00:10:14] your feet. Yes, that's not that long ago. It's only like seven years ago. Yeah it really isn't

[00:10:19] a long ago. Before that we were so car people sort of I had always had a fascination of cars

[00:10:28] always loved them as a kid except I was never into Japanese tuner cars. Oh never actually did

[00:10:35] not like them. Oddly enough I was always into American muscle cars but the classic

[00:10:42] yes, American muscle always wanted a 1969 Cameroa SS because my neighborhood one it was beautiful.

[00:10:49] That's one of my true cars. Really? Yes. Do you drove me around in it and that started the obsession

[00:10:53] with that car but it was like this burgundy color and it was really pretty but Subaru's began when I met

[00:11:01] my husband now has been Philip and after we had met I envisioned him driving in truck. I don't know why

[00:11:09] you just seemed like a grandest thing. Maybe. Maybe so and he showed up in this blue 2004 Honda

[00:11:17] Civic that had a turbo setup on it and it sounded really cool. And you're like hey, and it was a slow

[00:11:26] episode slow transition but yes eventually to change my mind and then after that he was talking

[00:11:32] about Subaru's and how it had always wanted one and his first Subaru could fell in love with was a

[00:11:40] Java Black Pearl 2004 SCI and his friends that he was stationed within Hawaii had won and his friend

[00:11:48] had let him drive it and that sort of his obsession with it then I grew on to the obsession I

[00:11:55] was after starting my liking towards Japanese to your cars and then fast forward, sold behind

[00:12:06] the start looking around for Subaru because that's the car that he had always wanted and we

[00:12:12] called up Subaru of Clear Lake in off of 45 and they ended up having a red 2011 WX hatchback

[00:12:20] had just been traded in and I know right like how many of them expected anything yet they

[00:12:27] had just gotten it and they're like whoa I mean we haven't like looked at it yet but I mean you

[00:12:31] can check it out if you want sort of like heck yeah like let's go so he went over there and

[00:12:37] it was like love it for sight I guess like we saw the car and we're like we have to have it

[00:12:42] I mean you have to have it yes and then it's Clifford and so originally Clifford was Phillips

[00:12:46] it was not in my car okay I don't keep on it it was his car and then I fell in love with it like

[00:12:52] the moment we first saw it and so I had been wanting it I didn't want to drive manual though

[00:12:57] and I was like just wait I know it's I know you've been wanting a Subaru

[00:13:01] yeah like I'm like I'm not I'm like I'm like I'm like I'm like I'm like I'm like the still this car

[00:13:05] from you but um so what we did is he eventually actually gave me the car but for trade I bought him

[00:13:13] in O4STI which is Dyson the silver O4STI so I bought him that car for him and we traded

[00:13:21] and then we've kind of just been buying Subaru's for each other ever since then like the blue hatch

[00:13:27] that's his but I own it okay and then um the white O4STI we have that's my daily but Philopones it

[00:13:35] okay now you're all into Subaru's you like the Japanese scene yes we started off loving

[00:13:41] muscle American muscle cars did you ever own one no I never actually owned one and would you still

[00:13:47] want to yes actually I think it's cool to be able to experience all types of cars because they're

[00:13:55] all different yeah like going from so I have a 91 Nissan Skyline driving that car is a totally

[00:14:02] different experience than driving a Subaru and then even Subaru's themselves like driving an O4STI

[00:14:08] is a completely different experience than driving a 2011 WX and then I'm sure it is the exact same

[00:14:16] thing with driving any type of V8 they're all different experiences and I've never driven a V8 before

[00:14:21] and I don't really count driving a truck as that type of experience however I mean that is an

[00:14:28] experience in itself but I would someday like to own a V8 car whether it's a Cadillac which

[00:14:37] I'm always loved or a um we've had this new obsession with an Audi that was made back and

[00:14:45] till was more loving I can't remember what it was called but Philopones it made video of it has a V8

[00:14:50] inside of it and it was only made for like a few years I believe and it's beautiful yeah

[00:14:56] cute but um yeah there's just a bunch of cars out there that I would love to just you know

[00:15:03] even the classic muscle cars those are ungodly expensive but so I probably never owned one

[00:15:09] but I would love to drive one you don't have to sell all your Subaru's to get one and every

[00:15:14] say what of them and are all of your Subaru's manual all of them yes okay yeah you can't try

[00:15:20] anything else but I mean you really can't I mean this is it's fun like yeah I don't know what it is

[00:15:25] it's just it's they're so frustrating sometimes like I I have stalled many times just because I'm not

[00:15:33] tried to go you know downshift into a gear the cars like not I don't feel like doing that

[00:15:37] it's like prides and like awesome yeah so I mean they're frustrating in themselves but

[00:15:43] I just I don't know I love driving my nails yeah I mean mine's a manual it's super slow but

[00:15:48] I mean I just I I like didn't want to get one that looks like a good manual and

[00:15:54] I got them fascinated with manual since I was a kid because my grandpa had

[00:15:58] like a this remember what you're like a 77 Bronco or something

[00:16:03] it's bad a shifter on the steering column and then my uncle I went with my uncle to trade in

[00:16:09] his old truck I think he had like an old F-150 and he traded it in for a 1985 Toyota truck I guess

[00:16:17] it was a Tacoma back then but and it was a manual and so like being a kid and seeing my grandpa

[00:16:24] shift in my uncle shifting like I just had this fascination with manuals and this is the third one

[00:16:29] that I've owned because I had a 1994 Ranger that I bought from a guy and that one was a manual

[00:16:35] and then I bought a 97 Ford Ranger right after that that was also a manual and then I wanted manuals

[00:16:42] ever since that truck and I had a Dodge Neon for a little bit then I had a Kia 4T5 door hatchback

[00:16:49] was the one I had right before this one and so when I found out that they made the cross trek in

[00:16:54] a manual because the cross trek is what I've been wanting for a while I was like half to have one.

[00:17:00] Those are hard to find too yeah it was it took a few weeks for them to find one and they found

[00:17:04] one in San Antonio but there's a couple looking at it that ended up buying it and then they found

[00:17:08] one in McKinney that's now Pearl. Nice that's awesome. So how many Subaru's have you owned

[00:17:15] prior to this or like how many have you owned total I guess? In total so I had to make a list because

[00:17:22] because I was like I you know I don't really remember because it's been I mean even through these

[00:17:27] like seven years that we first began owning Subaru's it's like okay trying to think back to like

[00:17:33] the ones that we've like bought and then sold pretty quickly but in total we have owned around 12

[00:17:41] Subaru's yeah so the ones that you have now how long have you had all of them and are those ones

[00:17:46] that you I know you said mentioned earlier you might sell a couple of them but yeah or the ones

[00:17:51] that you have now ones that you're like we're definitely gonna keep these in not sell them.

[00:17:56] So the ones that we have now are the so we have the ones that everyone's familiar with

[00:18:03] the Tels on Lavender Rex so Clifford that one of his October of 2017

[00:18:09] Dyson which is the Silver O4SCI had that one since April of 2018 and then we have

[00:18:19] the Sonic yellow O3WX wagon we've had that one for probably like three years at this point maybe no

[00:18:29] two I can't remember it's two or three years but that one we're planning on selling

[00:18:38] Philips Fred at work he's dying to have that car so he's gonna sell his house and he

[00:18:45] I don't want to sell his house for he buys it but the blue 2011 SCI hatch that one we've had

[00:18:52] for we bought that one before the Sonic yellow like just a little bit before okay that one we bought

[00:18:58] from a friends that's like looks pretty close to us and we are planning on selling that one

[00:19:06] that one not really actually like not not the fault of the car at all like that car has been a

[00:19:14] complete nightmare. Oh complete nightmare like I it is on its fourth engine I think at this point

[00:19:20] again not the fault of the car really it's it's just everything I was just bad tune some rain

[00:19:30] oh really not really bad rain so when we had where I was driving the highway and yeah

[00:19:35] sucked up a lot of water another bad tune I think it's have like two bad tunes yeah that that

[00:19:40] car's gone through some some shit but what else the purple so the last book we've

[00:19:48] purple so it was in 13 SCI recently bought that it took like three years to find that car

[00:19:53] but all of our cars be by them broken okay aren't running yeah not running okay so yeah

[00:19:59] not really broken but just like not running for Clifford except for Clifford that was one of the only

[00:20:05] actually Dyson too Dyson we did by that running but after learning some hard lessons we just by

[00:20:10] Subaru's that are not running no um because more than likely they're not going to continue running

[00:20:16] shortly after buying them and I guess that probably depends on who they'll only before

[00:20:22] yes he'll end up before and you tuned it before gotcha so our all the ones that you've bought also

[00:20:28] looks I mean was were any of them already modded some or we try not to buy cars that are modified

[00:20:35] okay anything are modified they cannot be running gotcha okay yeah is it I guess that the

[00:20:44] thrill of doing it yourself or is it just because you also want to make sure that when you do

[00:20:51] it running you know exactly what's going into the car and everything but so it's it's a really nice

[00:20:58] like adrenaline feeling when you put so much work into a car and turn it on and you drive it

[00:21:06] and it drives great and you're like I did this yeah and then the other part of it is

[00:21:13] when you buy a car that's already modified you were having to chase so many

[00:21:24] issues that will come up and you have no idea who touched it who messed with it

[00:21:31] who who where it is why it is like that there's there's a lot of situations where we have been

[00:21:39] chasing things that we have found on the car and been like why why is it like that why why was

[00:21:46] but if you buy a car that's not done that way and you just do everything yourself you have no

[00:21:52] one else to blame by yourself yeah and you know exactly what you did why you did it when you did it

[00:21:57] yeah now do you both the all do all of the work yourself in other words like is there any

[00:22:04] point other than tuning that a shop gets involved no so everything we do ourselves the only thing

[00:22:10] we don't do is the tuning burn okay yeah and where do you work on the cars here at the house

[00:22:16] so the garage is like the designated area for working on cars that are broken or not running

[00:22:22] maybe I should say that cars that are not running gotcha um um and then inside the house which a

[00:22:28] lot of people find to be weird but then a lot of other people are like yeah we do that too we do all

[00:22:32] the engine working side the house I mean technically I mean yeah it's it's a seed yeah you're not

[00:22:39] supposed to be on it's whether it's like really hot outside because we're Houston or if

[00:22:44] it's really cold outside during the random two months that's cool or if it's just raining because

[00:22:48] you know sure but um yeah I mean why work on it outside when you have the ability to work on

[00:22:54] it inside like that's what I think and also it's like a clean room in a way yeah so in the

[00:23:00] cat still messed with it we don't have kids so it's not like we're having to worry about

[00:23:04] the kids getting hurt or tripping or or grabbing parts and playing with them and you know so

[00:23:12] it's it's just us just being filled up in the three cats and it's just you know this works

[00:23:17] for us so we work on it side-puffs yeah so there's an engine stand right now yes it's like

[00:23:22] right that's a location between like they kind of like in the central area of the living room

[00:23:27] the kitchen and the dining area and is this where you do all the work? Yes this is like the

[00:23:32] default to work on engines is right here in between the dining kitchen and living room.

[00:23:39] It's a lot of space too. Yeah yeah so it works. Yeah and do you have like y'all put like a

[00:23:44] drop cough down or anything? Yes actually we have a um so it's it's for a hot water heater I

[00:23:50] believe but it's a tray that you can buy it like Home Depot okay and it's like a metal tray with

[00:23:56] like lips on the side so like no the water or whatever fluid comes out and we usually put

[00:24:01] underneath the engine stand where we work on the engine that way you know if any if it's a

[00:24:06] use engine like this engine right here this is not used as never been used so nothing's going to

[00:24:10] come out of it. Yeah but like the use engines that we have um coolant oil any any

[00:24:16] cred will come out of it and so we put the tray down underneath to catch any of that. Yeah so

[00:24:22] we're either one of you doing any type of engine work or anything before y'all

[00:24:28] know start with all this it has y'all learn all this stuff. YouTube YouTube and physically doing it

[00:24:36] okay so um some people are really good visual learners they can watch a video and just be like okay

[00:24:42] yeah I know exactly for me I am not naturally mechanical inclines this has been a lot of learning

[00:24:48] for me um Philip has been a great teacher Philip is very naturally mechanical I'm very good at

[00:24:54] shooting things but he can just watch a YouTube video and be like oh yeah I know exactly like well

[00:24:59] so I'll just go do it me I'll watch a YouTube video go to do it and be like okay um and then it

[00:25:05] takes a couple tries like yeah but I mean I'll all understand that after that is the same thing

[00:25:10] which is working on engines trying to diagnose issues with the cars like it's it's all hands on

[00:25:16] and also YouTube learning yeah all of it like prior to like for example 2017 by Clifford

[00:25:25] it last about two months December 23rd we go to the Subaru

[00:25:31] Dylan ship get the oil changed we are on our way to Austin my parents house for Christmas

[00:25:37] we get to Katie which is like an hour down the road and the engine don't drop knock

[00:25:44] oh so that's where yeah yeah that is actually yes that's where I got the means so

[00:25:50] Clifford has been dubbed Rodnock ever since then that's where I got the cousin license plate but

[00:25:56] yeah so that was our first experience had no idea never pull out an engine before never like worked

[00:26:02] on engines prior to die we ended up having a friend rebuild it but in that cause so many issues the

[00:26:10] the engine was rebuilt with 40% conversion loss in cylinder 1 they didn't get the rings right

[00:26:15] others just other things and it's just like very very expensive hard lessons learned and where

[00:26:21] we were finally just like you know what screw this like let's just do all the ourselves why we

[00:26:25] rely on other people getting upset because nothing is done right let's just do it ourselves

[00:26:31] like let's just learn to do this ourselves like it's it can't be it's not impossible yeah you know

[00:26:36] and we have the resources like there's places ever great by tools like not there's a lot of

[00:26:43] this stuff is readily available yeah just in order so yeah that's kind of where it you know

[00:26:49] all happen when you first started doing your own work like how scary was that it was intimidating

[00:26:55] for sure like it's there are some things that are so kind of intimidating but it was it was very

[00:27:04] nerf or hacking just like okay about to do this like we're about to you know unhooked this from

[00:27:10] the car like here goes nothing but it's just all a good learning experience yeah and with after

[00:27:16] doing this for so long now I'm sure that whenever you come into something that maybe a little bit

[00:27:22] different or new you've been doing so much of it that at least you would have you had the confidence

[00:27:26] in yourself to like be able to figure it out yes for sure that's good yeah yeah so you have all these

[00:27:33] tuner cars have you ever had any interest in like off-road or overland superoos and and not

[00:27:39] like getting into that scene but just like going and trying that out I mean do you think you would

[00:27:45] ever own one so that you could have the you know because like there's for from people like me and other

[00:27:52] people in the off-road overland scene a lot of us have really slow cars and we're thinking like

[00:27:57] you know we love off-roading and it's a lot of fun but then we like it'd be nice to have that

[00:28:02] and you know a faster car so is there any desire to have a fast car and one that can take you

[00:28:08] off-road and do that kind of stuff for there any interest in that not I don't want to completely

[00:28:13] roll it out I've never really personally had an interest on it only because I for in your

[00:28:19] probably to find this really weird but I have always found off-roading to be even more intimidating

[00:28:24] yeah like a freaks me out it can be scary like um I don't know what it is like when I

[00:28:33] when I drive fast and one of my cars that doesn't scare me I think it's fun there's a lot of

[00:28:39] journal in but when I have gone off-roading if it freaks me out I don't know I don't know why

[00:28:46] I think that I'm just gonna break the car and be stuck in the milk nowhere I think it's all just

[00:28:50] a curing anxiety like at least you know yes it does happen and just like like and I think also

[00:28:58] I just I don't have any experience in that like none no experience it so it's just kind of starting

[00:29:02] from Gronsiro and I'm just not sure if I'm ready to start at Gronsiro anywhere however I will go with

[00:29:08] someone else yeah no actually I haven't I haven't gone with anyone else at least in a super room

[00:29:15] it's fun and it is it is intimidating and scary because like you get into

[00:29:21] very uneven trails and I've been on two wheels before I've been on three wheels and that's I mean

[00:29:29] it's fun like I did you know and then being a manual so when I was in Colorado that was my very

[00:29:35] first off-road experience and I was following two guys I have outbacks and they were showing

[00:29:40] us some trails and it was there was a lot of fun so we get to this first trail there's not there's

[00:29:45] this little small hill that we have to go up and over and I'm going at it at an angle because that was

[00:29:51] how I had to go at it and then so you get wheel slipage because you don't have all four wheels

[00:29:56] on the ground just going up and then being a manual I'm trying to get up and over this hill

[00:30:01] and I didn't as my first time driving off-road my first time driving off-road in a manual

[00:30:06] and my son is like what's that smell and I'm like oh my gosh what kind of you know

[00:30:11] once I figured out that first hill or and then like the first I guess the first few getting up and over

[00:30:17] how to do it in a manual getting the fuel for like what the all wheel drive is doing

[00:30:23] then it got easier and then that's when it really became fun but yeah I mean there's people

[00:30:28] that will like break an axle out on the trail they'll break a lower control arm you know or something

[00:30:34] and that's what scares me because I don't know how to fix any of that but a lot of these people

[00:30:38] that are like how specific North West California Colorado a lot of these people have

[00:30:44] they have spare parts with them that they know will break that they have like either

[00:30:49] had experience with other people breaking those things or they themselves breaking it like people

[00:30:54] have extra axles in their cars and have extra little things make sense yeah and so they're like oh I

[00:31:01] broke it whatever and then they'll take the wheel off repair it all and then keep going well

[00:31:07] yeah it's crazy that is crazy but it's awesome you know because like they know

[00:31:12] they had to like you have the confidence in doing the work on your engines and making sure

[00:31:17] that it's working because you did it they have the same confidence going off road makes complete

[00:31:22] so it's so with like doing all the modifications and upgrades like where are some of the most

[00:31:27] difficult things that you come across doing I'd say so the more modification do you do to these cars

[00:31:35] actually the easier it is super is the more stock they are the more poses the more

[00:31:45] things you have to plug in the more things are routed in between and over under it it's just

[00:31:51] it's a complete mess of spaghetti poses everywhere it's insane but like I think the more difficult

[00:32:00] things would be like seals things will start leaking valve covers that's just tedious and

[00:32:08] have to move a lot of shit around like um I don't really know like a specific

[00:32:16] see and like think them are difficult and like for me too because like the majority of the people

[00:32:21] that listen to the podcast just because of my build are people like on the off road scene so

[00:32:28] whenever I like have somebody on it's on the tuner scene and they start throwing out all this terminology

[00:32:31] I'm just like okay I'm not doing what you're talking about but I'm trying to think like

[00:32:38] I don't really know what I would maybe we can come back to that question okay I don't really

[00:32:44] I can't really think of anything that would be okay yeah and are all of your Subaru's modified

[00:32:50] all of them yes okay the exception of the blue hatch no that's no longer modified okay

[00:32:57] that is now completely 100% stock so it was and then you took it back to stock yeah only because

[00:33:03] we're gonna sell it okay and it's it's a lot easier to sell a Subaru that's 100% stock than

[00:33:10] it is a sell a modified one okay yeah plus if somebody is into the tuner scene if they have the same

[00:33:18] mentality that you have they may not want to buy something that's been modified that they're going

[00:33:22] to have to worry about so they can't stop it just makes it a lot easier yes that makes sense yeah

[00:33:27] so okay so do you have an estimate of how much you spent in odds and so all the

[00:33:33] for all your Subaru's the past seven years I've actually been dreading the day of trying to

[00:33:41] add up all of us because I don't think I really want to know

[00:33:46] do we want to keep doing this right like okay we could have bought like a second how

[00:33:51] set this point like we kind of gone with so many vacations I just just thinking about like okay

[00:34:00] I guess I put this into perspective so this engine that's front is sitting right here in turn

[00:34:05] of us this is a stage four p2p engine long block what is p3p? I don't know what it means

[00:34:12] but it's just it's the name of the company that our buddy Ryan he is the owner of it's

[00:34:19] called p2p racing it's located in Grandberry Texas kind of off of like on the west side of Dallas

[00:34:28] Fort Worth area yeah but so this is from this is one of his engines he built originally for

[00:34:34] Dyson and it's been sitting just because we've had other things go on but it interlocks like

[00:34:43] the other Subaru's that fine but so this one is gonna go in the purple hatched home

[00:34:51] but this one for example cost about like 12,000 so that's just the engine it is that doesn't count

[00:34:59] like any of the other things fueling it doesn't count any turbo any

[00:35:09] air intake tunes the sensors got there's so many sensors um hoses because the hoses can be

[00:35:16] replaced a lot of clutches you have to remember what torque you're aiming for then find a

[00:35:21] clutch that'll work with that drive train do you have the right drive train it's it's so many things

[00:35:27] that will add on that you don't realize at first especially if you're trying to aim if you

[00:35:39] with your car if you're aiming for 400 I mean you can keep a lot like a lot of the stuff on your car

[00:35:44] so all you've to change really is just that the air intake the the tune obviously um turbo

[00:35:54] and injectors this pretty much it I mean from the top of my head that I could think of but when you're

[00:36:08] waiting will you're more than likely going to have to change at least a short lock so you want

[00:36:15] a stronger short lock maybe four gen turnals you can probably get away with keeping your semi-open

[00:36:20] deck of the short lock as always use E85 because it's cooler however head studs those are

[00:36:29] have to change at least to slightly better head studs like the ARP 625s I mean those are like

[00:36:40] the step up or no ARP 2000s I can't remember but there's there's so many little things that you

[00:36:48] don't realize go into this and that just it adds up it adds up and adds up and adds up and then

[00:36:55] before you know it you're looking at like 30,000 dollars that you've spent and you're only at like

[00:37:01] 500 horsepower so it's just um that's just one car that's one car that's one that's one build

[00:37:08] okay so that puts it into perspective right so it's like I don't really want to

[00:37:14] I purposely stayed away from adding it up because I know it'll just be mind blowing yeah

[00:37:20] the amount of money I'm not ashamed of it and by any means I mean we have no kids this is our

[00:37:25] hobby this is just what we love to do and I I'm not ashamed of it at all I just like I know

[00:37:32] I'm just I'm gonna lose my mind so I just I don't know that it's it's a lot

[00:37:38] I guess like when you're talking about if you're depending on the horsepower you want to go with

[00:37:43] the pins on what type of engine you go with and then all the other components so I guess such just

[00:37:49] research trying to figure out like yeah what's those just like research trial and error

[00:37:55] seeing what other people do there is there are people out there who will get away with doing

[00:38:00] 500 plus horsepower on a stock super engine how do they do it um I don't know maybe it's

[00:38:10] to be honest I don't really know I mean we've tried these type of situations maybe there's

[00:38:17] something that we should could have done better in which is the ultimate result of us not being

[00:38:24] able to accomplish it on our end of the stock engine maybe we could have had a better two

[00:38:30] at the time maybe there was a component that could have been maybe it wasn't installed great you know

[00:38:37] there's so many things that can contribute to someone's build working better than yours but

[00:38:43] it's a lot of research and a lot of trial and error I'd say trial and error is the main thing that

[00:38:50] you ended up learning from with these cars okay yeah it's it's definitely interesting learning

[00:38:56] over the years what was excessive and what was actually you know could have worked fine

[00:39:07] okay so with all the ones that you have when we're talking about horsepower and engines and

[00:39:11] all the components which which one of your cars has the most horsepower as of right now it's

[00:39:16] clifered okay what's clifered sitting that clifered is at the last one my dyno did it was at

[00:39:22] 590 will horsepower and the torque was at it was like four four sixty something yeah I think if I'm

[00:39:38] still well so can we take a ride and clifered yeah okay yeah because I want to so I have one of the

[00:39:44] questions that I have is for those who may not know what does it mean to do a pool we can talk about

[00:39:49] that when we get in clifered okay yeah sounds good I just have to um install the passenger seat

[00:39:54] then we can go oh okay so we're just the most frustrating thing about owning a tuner car or super

[00:40:06] crushing thing um when they break is pretty frustrating not why I hate it I hate when they break

[00:40:12] it's all the because you it's so much fun they're so much fun to drive when they run

[00:40:19] and they run properly and when they break it's kind of heartbreaking just because

[00:40:25] and everything is also just because we all know what so like we we finish a project we want to go

[00:40:33] and so it's just back and it's just frustrating no especially after all these years of

[00:40:40] running on yeah it's like oh okay we're still doing things wrong like or something still going wrong

[00:40:46] or we still don't understand you know how why this would happen or it's noisy but I think that's

[00:40:52] just kind of frustrating about it is and also it's they're they're modified cars they have

[00:40:59] they are going to break I don't care anyone says it's gonna happen yeah well they'll definitely

[00:41:05] last longer stock there's I mean the manufacturers they sell them with turbos at the stock level

[00:41:11] because they know at the stock level I mean at least it'll you know last long enough to where it'll

[00:41:18] get past the warranty period I think yeah we're not seeing only idea but I mean the moment you start

[00:41:24] modifying these cars you're asking for it that's just gonna happen yeah regardless see

[00:41:30] then what's the most rewarding thing about owning these cars the most rewarding thing is when

[00:41:34] you finish a set up and you have a goal in mind you reach that goal and you know you you know

[00:41:43] you can pat yourself in the back and be like I did this yeah like I made this happen I think that's

[00:41:48] and then driving the one yeah driving them can be really rewarding yeah so if there's oh yeah

[00:41:56] there's this was a question and now this is a difficult one but if you had to get rid of all

[00:42:01] of your Subaru except one no it's fun with you keep that doesn't really hard barn because there are

[00:42:08] two Subaru that I would always keep no matter what um which is Clifford and Dyson okay well since

[00:42:15] you have so many I guess you can go with you okay and then I know there's a lot of amazing

[00:42:21] builds out there as I'm sure you know especially in the community scene but if you could drive

[00:42:26] somebody else's car for a day who's ready to be and why so I thought about this one there's a

[00:42:31] lot of people out there who and if we're just gonna stick straight to Subaru's on this question yeah

[00:42:36] I would say um this is a really hard one I was thinking um and I haven't I haven't told her

[00:42:46] this at all and she probably does get this lot but Barbara do you know Barbara in Houston she has the

[00:42:53] red juicy yeah she was at CBFS Texas last year yes yeah and she she looks here in Houston with us

[00:43:01] and um like said I've never told her this so she'll probably be like what more oh yeah

[00:43:06] that's a nice car it is it's super nice I love it she's been in the scene for long for you know

[00:43:12] a while as well and she knows she has a lot of cars as well her husband do yeah so

[00:43:19] that would be they're not all Subaru's they have like a BMW and um and Evo and um a couple of

[00:43:25] things but yeah I think her car I would love to be able to at least ride in her car I think that'd be

[00:43:31] really cool mm-hmm so you have seven you're gonna look at it getting settling two of them potentially

[00:43:37] yeah do you have your eye on any other Subaru's I do so we have this um weird fascination

[00:43:47] with having all four colors of the 2004 SCA okay so the blue ones are fairly easy to find

[00:43:56] and I think easy just because they're you know I don't know it seems like they're easier to find however

[00:44:01] they made it more of a new that color I don't know if they made more of them but it seems like

[00:44:06] they're just more out there you're readily available catch it the one that I'm having the most

[00:44:11] difficulty finding just like how difficult it was to find a plasma group rural SCI hatch the

[00:44:19] Java block pearl of four SCI has been like almost impossible to find there is one that we found

[00:44:26] in San Antonio it is running though so that's kind of goes against her you know but um it is

[00:44:32] Java block pearl and it's a no-for and it's an SCI so it's we we found one it's just like we can't you

[00:44:40] know would you because they're so hard to find would you take one like that that's running and then

[00:44:46] just tear it all down and redo it or just not want it running at all like that's I mean if

[00:44:53] thought was our only choice we probably do it we just need to sell a couple cars before we

[00:44:59] spend that kind of money yeah it's not like they're crazy expensive it's just like it

[00:45:04] we're gonna tear it down anyway so we might we would rather spend the money on a car that's already

[00:45:10] not running some kind of tear it down and doing things but yeah do you plan to tin CB Fest this year

[00:45:17] yeah yeah I'm gonna go I'm gonna go and Clifford okay and how is that the only one you're going

[00:45:21] to take depending on what car Phil it because Phil's gonna bring one too okay I'm not sure what

[00:45:27] he's gonna bring he really wants to bring the purple hatch if he has that done in time

[00:45:35] which is why he brought this out but if he doesn't have that done in time because I know CB Fest

[00:45:41] we're already beginning of September here yeah so I'm gonna try and make a book and here be

[00:45:46] and be still I just got a hotel okay for there so and are you going to trailer the cars you

[00:45:54] drive them up there I really want to drive Clifford up there okay so last year we trailer the car

[00:46:02] and it should it felt safer doing that yeah so on unsuspecting me it loves to break on me

[00:46:11] see yeah yeah but yeah I just I really want to drive it though like I really want to drive it

[00:46:18] I just don't know if it's a good idea to drive it up there

[00:46:22] or he's up here I do not he's okay no he doesn't even begin Georgey Georgey's hanging out with us up here

[00:46:30] I would be happy yeah CB Fest was fun it was fun I loved it they did a really good job

[00:46:38] yeah and is that your first time ever going to a CB Fest event okay yeah because I've been to

[00:46:43] with the boxer fest in 2021 and then CB Fest California in 2022 oh it's cool yeah because

[00:46:49] I was fortunate enough the SOA flew me out to both of them yeah that's awesome yeah they flew me

[00:46:54] out to boxer fest because that was like right after I started the podcast they introduced me to

[00:46:58] Bucky I met a lot of people from SOA and then just kind of got that whole experience

[00:47:04] and then it's super super fest California they ended up setting me up with a boot and so I was

[00:47:09] able to record with people there so that was fun that's awesome yeah so I got to experience three of them

[00:47:15] so far I still want to go up to Wicked Big Need and I'd like to go to maybe CB Fest mid-west

[00:47:22] at some point which is happening today oh is it yeah yeah so Reon and Jel Simeo Scott Speed

[00:47:29] and Bucky last of her there I'm Travis Pistrona's doing nitro rally crows oh that's cool

[00:47:34] yeah yeah some looking forward to it and again like we were saying before we started recording I

[00:47:41] hope that it's not gonna be too hot yeah hoping especially in October yeah I mean it's a hard

[00:47:47] miss yeah it really is like today is really your Texas like it is the beginning of September

[00:47:52] and it was like 79 degrees this morning as kind of a new show for us yeah it's really really so who knows

[00:47:59] yeah sometimes it gets like super cold near mid October and then other times it's still

[00:48:06] just a little bit like summer because I know like Halloween there's times when it's

[00:48:11] a whole look yeah and then as of the time just like why is it so hot right like I'm getting

[00:48:15] dressed up and he's costume you're not gonna be sweating exactly so who knows but I'm with you

[00:48:22] I'm really hope it's not it's not hot yeah I know last year I got super sunburn yeah I know oh yeah

[00:48:28] so when I went to box or fest I was like oh I'm gonna put sunscreen on and I forgot to bring

[00:48:34] some with me and I was like well I'll just ask somebody I know somebody's gonna have sunscreen

[00:48:37] and I didn't and I was like well I'll just stay under like the can of bees and you know

[00:48:41] awnings and so most of the day and I didn't stay in the bathroom and now after it's all

[00:48:47] of sunburn I'm like I've never been this against the last year it's super feasts Texas even though

[00:48:51] I was under my awning for a long time doing some recordings like I get a dude I'm gonna

[00:48:57] get that dude sunscreen because are you doing it? yeah so the plan is for me because like last year

[00:49:03] I recorded with four of the dealerships like in the local area to talk about like stuff that they

[00:49:09] do and then super love promise and so the thought is right now it's gonna be to record with

[00:49:15] them again but then they're gonna also the dealerships are gonna pick like their favorite car

[00:49:21] and the whole show and they wanted me to like cover that as part of the podcast and then again

[00:49:27] like having a mobile system now yeah I'm not gonna have to be stuck in a booth yes so I can go out

[00:49:34] and talk to people at the event too. now you really need your sunscreen. yeah because I'll be

[00:49:40] out walking around a lot so but yeah that's gonna be fun so one of the groups here and Houston

[00:49:47] Space City, Super East and how did you get involved at them? shortly after buying Clifford

[00:49:51] back in 2017 I was looking online to see what there was out there like as far as like social

[00:49:59] groups for because I figured there was some sort of following I had seen stickers on cars

[00:50:06] and so I knew there were groups out there and I was kind of hoping there'd be one for

[00:50:11] the group as well and the first group I found was HSC, Houston Super Oclawed and then I found

[00:50:18] Space City, Super East after it and they were both on Facebook and I joined both Space City,

[00:50:25] Super East did a lot of um they seem to do events like meetups and I got just really involved

[00:50:32] with it and I loved it. I love the community aspect behind it just like needing new people that

[00:50:37] have the same the same leggings as you just seeing a bunch of super-ruse in the parking lot

[00:50:46] and knowing that you're a part of that you're just really cool and I really it really grew on me

[00:50:52] like quick yeah and I was like I really want to be like more involved like how can we be more

[00:50:57] involved and that's what eventually led to becoming a moderator for the group, the me coming in

[00:51:02] and now being the vice president of the group. In your ring of Space City, CB shirt? Yes that's

[00:51:08] like half my wardrobe yeah like if you open my shirt drawer it's like all Space City, CB shirts.

[00:51:15] Yeah so like what kind of events do y'all do I know there's like meetups where you do

[00:51:20] cruises and they've gone down to like the beach and you've done actually we have that coming up

[00:51:25] yeah so I host the annual beach meet for the club so we have that on September 28th and we're

[00:51:31] going to go on to freeport again okay yeah and then like do y'all have a set route that you'll

[00:51:36] usually follow yeah so we like to try to stay on routes that have a few lights as possible

[00:51:43] okay yeah so yeah it's easier to stay with you yeah yeah yeah so like when there's a lot of

[00:51:48] lights everyone gets split up and then you know just I want people to have a good time and not

[00:51:54] like they are going to get lost and it's stressful you know like I've been in that situation where

[00:52:00] I've gotten awesome on meet and I just get frustrated and I'm just like I didn't want to be like the

[00:52:05] you know whatever but so the routes that we like to choose are ones that are high-way driven

[00:52:12] for the most part I mean you can't always get that but like the beach cruise so the route that I like

[00:52:18] is we will all meet up at the Bass Pro Shop in uh uh opportunity a

[00:52:25] pearland area yeah yeah and so we'll meet there because they are open at the time and we meet

[00:52:30] like we meet early in the morning and so from there we'll go on to a date we'll just try to

[00:52:35] all the way down to um I guess it would be like late no I mean we'll just try but as close to

[00:52:46] getting to freeport as we can I can't remember where that ends up like Jackson maybe I'm not sure

[00:52:50] but from there it'll be backwards yeah um there are a few lights but really it's it's really not that bad

[00:52:57] like it's it's fun too you just like you look in your room here and you have a 50s

[00:53:01] behind you are just like puss a so cool do you ever have you ever thought of splitting it up into

[00:53:07] groups or do you there is an i asked us because when we did 48 hours of tri-state I don't

[00:53:13] remember how many cars were involved but there was a lot and they split it up into four different

[00:53:18] groups and we all end up in the same place but in case you know there's lights or traffic or

[00:53:25] other things that can get people hung up then that way at least you have like your different

[00:53:30] groups that you stay with and again you end up at the same spot yeah so in a way we do

[00:53:35] we'll have our like designated team leaders okay so they know to if if we do get split up they

[00:53:43] will become believed and they will lead the group to I guess whatever part of the group gets

[00:53:48] left behind in a way they're gonna make sure they get to the place they need to go just to kind

[00:53:52] of reduce that trust factor of actually you know being left behind or getting lost or whatever

[00:53:57] yeah so in a way it's kind of like that what's your favorite thing about being and spaceity

[00:54:03] see these are being part of the group it's a family it's people you can rely on people

[00:54:08] their friends they have similar mindset and likings as you do I just it's it's nice to be able

[00:54:15] to just find a group of people that are around your age that you can just easily be friends with

[00:54:20] that's what I like most about it so you said your age but isn't they're pretty good age group

[00:54:26] I say it ranges from like 18 to 50 plus I mean everyone is in their all all age regions really

[00:54:38] so I guess I'm really shouldn't say people around my age but it's not what you mean yeah

[00:54:43] but it's pretty there's a good variety and that's what's like interesting because like same

[00:54:49] same thing with the off-road scene is you'll have people in all different age groups and you've got

[00:54:55] somebody that's 20 talking to somebody that's 50 and in normal situations it might be kind of odd you

[00:55:03] know but because like so from my 50th birthday I flew out to California and met up with a friend

[00:55:10] there and then we drove to moon rocks Nevada and there was a bunch of us that met up there

[00:55:17] and it was like a birthday celebration for me and for this girl Sierra she was turning 20 I was

[00:55:23] so we're like 30 years apart but we're all hanging out you know and it's like really cool

[00:55:29] it is really cool like age doesn't even matter yeah when it comes to like these types of

[00:55:34] groups we all just like yeah I'm just sure people be like what are you doing hanging out with a 50 year old

[00:55:41] guy you know we have super yeah exactly you don't get it you don't understand we are

[00:55:49] that's right that's right so what is like the goal or the mission or space at ECBs

[00:55:56] well really it started off as being like a social group and that's really what it is so like

[00:56:01] or a social group we're we're there to meet new people have fun go on meets hang out with

[00:56:08] each other learn about other people's ours um i mean that's really good just a good social

[00:56:16] group hang out group yeah sure anything else you want to share about space city CVs

[00:56:23] I mean we have our beach meet coming up on this 28th and then we have meets that we do

[00:56:30] a star sailor and we actually have one coming up on November 17th they're doing like a

[00:56:38] they haven't events but is going on that day and we're contributing and participating in that

[00:56:45] and as I'll be fine and then we have our annual Christmas meets on December

[00:56:55] shoot let me see okay that's we have some events coming up that um that we're excited about

[00:57:04] and of course you know sub-fest like we have our event where we as a group

[00:57:09] leave on Friday to head up to Dallas to go to see the festival together so that'll be a thing

[00:57:15] on October the 18th and then I wanted to give the date for our anniversary okay so it's our

[00:57:23] anniversary slash Christmas oh nice and that'll be on December 7th okay and that'll be at equal

[00:57:29] parts brewing and um you know what you're doing what your anniversary this will be so space of

[00:57:37] these was assembled in 2016 like a few months before I I joined and then so this will be

[00:57:46] 1678 eight years yeah that's crazy yeah it's wild now we're at like 2500 plus members

[00:57:56] yeah it's insane yeah it's a great group that's good yeah so I know this will be a silly

[00:58:01] question but do you think you'll always own a super or always own the same good super rules

[00:58:05] I think I want least always own Clifford and Eisen yeah I don't think I can never get it in this

[00:58:12] course so I whether I civil like him or not yeah you get a tattoo yeah yeah you get a

[00:58:20] tattoo and you they become part of you it really yeah especially on I mean whether you're in the

[00:58:26] tuner scene or off-road scene if you're modifying a car you put so much of your own work into it

[00:58:32] even if you know I mean for somebody that doesn't know how to do the work if you like have to

[00:58:36] have a shock to do the work it's still something that's becoming a part of your car and then you

[00:58:40] become like part of the car with you know and it's it's fun so and like people will get you know

[00:58:48] devastated if something happens to their car so oh yeah for sure so how has owning your super

[00:58:56] and being part of the community changed your life oh man especially going from you know wanting

[00:59:02] to have American muscle cars to not liking Japanese cars now sure I'd say you know it definitely

[00:59:10] changed it for the better there's no denying that I have made so many friends met so many people

[00:59:19] experience just out so many adrenaline rushes in these cars it there's a lot of like

[00:59:25] blood sweat and tears that have come from them yeah it's just I think it's just changed

[00:59:30] it for the better I think it was it was a good decision it was like such a spontaneous decision

[00:59:36] and it ended up turning just into something great into having engine block yeah exactly

[00:59:43] what's better than having engine blocks in your kitchen yeah yeah so this is the little

[00:59:49] get to know the person behind the account but who is Larissa oh man it's called a question

[00:59:55] I know it's brought I mean this is like an interview question like a job interview question

[01:00:03] no it's like yeah what kind of what do you um okay so I guess I can start with like so I am originally

[01:00:12] from Louisiana okay um it was born raised bad in originally Ziana I have a I moved here when I was 7

[01:00:21] to Seabrook actually except for a golfing fused in been there ever since I enjoy long walks on the

[01:00:31] beach I'm just kidding actually I actually hate the beach you did too yeah I don't like the same

[01:00:38] I don't either like get some of your toes in here yeah I don't like just like the leaders

[01:00:42] I like being out by the water yeah like being like and yeah I don't either I don't

[01:00:48] either sand's weird but yeah so I just love cars I like working on being able to work on them

[01:00:55] feeling like having the confidence to do everything that I want to do to them um Mary to fill up

[01:01:01] he's a great partner in husband I met him actually when I went to go visit my brother in

[01:01:07] horror use station there and I was not going there by any means to meet anybody it was just my brother

[01:01:14] just simply hang out with my brother and for Thanksgiving and uh Philip I met him the first time

[01:01:20] I was there and it was kind of like a you know oh hey that's like I need to talk to that guy but yeah

[01:01:28] I don't know I'd say like I'm very spontaneous and kind of erratic and a little I can be a little

[01:01:36] of me on it but I don't know I just you know it's just kind of like personality just yeah kind

[01:01:40] of crazy person no I have no chill no chill okay you already answered where you were born

[01:01:49] what is a favorite memory from childhood hmm favorite memory from childhood I don't know

[01:01:57] I don't really have one I have a lot of memories from childhood hanging out with friends

[01:02:02] building for my brother outside I think that's good memory only because he's not here anymore

[01:02:07] so yeah it's kind of morbid but he's I have a lot of good memories of spending time with my brother

[01:02:14] and just doing crazy things like he would I don't know typical brother stuff like like you would

[01:02:20] barge in on him in his room he beat you up and like then you'd go outside and like he'd be like oh

[01:02:26] I guess I'll spend time with you and then like you'll go for out of random wood and find like

[01:02:30] in the in the street and I don't know just I have a lot of good memories and whenever I hear

[01:02:37] that question I kind of think about him yeah it's good see that's good yeah I guess I wasn't

[01:02:41] a bad question answer yeah what is it that you do for a living I work in human resources okay

[01:02:48] so not the human resources that you think like you think probably like okay you work in HR you

[01:02:53] hire a fire people but I don't really not I don't really do that so like what I do is the legal

[01:03:00] compliance side so I'm actually in my master's degree program right now in law school and

[01:03:05] I'm not working on a JD so the JD is it's it's recognized by the state bar association where you

[01:03:13] can get a lot of practice being to be an attorney that's not the degree I'm getting I'm

[01:03:18] getting right as a right now just a master legal studies in HR and employment law and it's like

[01:03:24] you know it's comparable to being like a risk manager okay that's kind of how I think about it like

[01:03:29] I can't practice law with the degree but it's it's the other side of it so being a risk manager

[01:03:35] for a company that's where I'm at so I enjoy I'm for the people I'm for employees more than

[01:03:42] I would like to be for corporations unfortunately being in human resources you are for the

[01:03:46] corporation your job is to protect the corporation which is fine it's just my heart means more towards

[01:03:53] as being a human being myself you know protecting the employees so because you can't necessarily

[01:04:00] do that as a nature personal really what I like to do stay away from the side where I can't do that

[01:04:06] and focus on the legal compliance side so I make sure that corporations stay in compliance with laws

[01:04:12] and like a new emerging laws that come up like all of these random pay transparency laws and

[01:04:21] the laws involving non-capites a lot of these are just they come up statewide if you're like a

[01:04:28] nation-wide company you have really have to be attention to them like job policing some some states

[01:04:33] require you put salary ranges and positions some states require that you notify every single person

[01:04:40] who works in that particular state if there's someone getting a promotion and it's possible to

[01:04:45] job opportunity it's it's a lot but that's what I enjoy is learning about these new laws and

[01:04:53] learning about what is all involved with ensuring that you're compliant with that law and then

[01:05:00] working with the company on getting that getting them to be compliant with that law so it's

[01:05:06] it's very unenvolved with employees which is how I like it okay that's good do you have a dream job

[01:05:13] I want I really want to be a consultant I want to be outside of corporations I want to be

[01:05:22] the HR consultants that corporations hire to make sure that they are compliant

[01:05:27] is that something that you see they could potentially do yes it'll take it'll take some years

[01:05:34] I need more years under my belt I as a right now I have like eight years but experience

[01:05:39] plus the bachelor's in the certifications the master's degree is going to help a lot but I think

[01:05:45] I probably need about 10 more years of experience and then that'll be like my dream job I want my own

[01:05:51] consultant firm yeah just I really want my own business okay yeah just wait to go yeah for sure

[01:05:58] so besides all the stuff that you do with Subaru's although we're kind of everything what other hobbies

[01:06:05] I am a pianist oh nice yeah and also a painter so like that for example I can't

[01:06:12] it thought and that over there and all those over there and I have I don't really talk about like any

[01:06:17] of this stuff yeah like I never posted about it but my mom has a lot of my paintings okay um

[01:06:23] she's really cool thank you and I I sell them so like she has my mom owns her own business like

[01:06:30] hairdresser so she has a shop that she owns and awesome yes and so she's kind of like my gallery too

[01:06:36] oh so like in her shop over here in Cbrook like she has some of my paintings there

[01:06:42] and then and also she has some of them over there as well that's really cool yeah I see these

[01:06:50] paintings that people do and then you hear so many people that they get like a little bit older

[01:06:56] and they're not really sure what they want to do at their free time like oh I decided to just pick

[01:07:01] up painting never having like any formal art training or everything and they create these beautiful

[01:07:07] like works of art and it's something that I wanted to try just to see if like if I try to do

[01:07:14] some painting can I because I do have some artistic abilities but my daughter is like really really good

[01:07:20] and yeah she's just like super creative but and so like she can draw stuff out of her head

[01:07:27] a lot of times and I'm just like what like me I can draw something if I'm looking at it like I

[01:07:34] can do a pretty good job but I can't like every time I try to draw stuff out of my head and

[01:07:38] a whole life I'm like that looks horrible. So but you know there's certain things that I'm

[01:07:45] good at yeah it's really cool. Thank you. I can't say all of this is like completely out of my head all

[01:07:52] the time sometimes it takes a little bit of studying like an animal I like to paint animals

[01:07:58] so it takes a little bit of studying animals like different pictures all final Google

[01:08:05] like learning like their fascibe and their i-shape and I kind of just put my own spin on it.

[01:08:10] Yeah and see but that's good because then that's where the creative part comes to you if you can get

[01:08:14] like just the fundamentals of what it's going to do and know how it's supposed to kind of look

[01:08:20] and then put your own spin on it that's good. That's art. What is something that makes you want

[01:08:25] to get out of bed every day? What makes me want to get out of bed? I guess like what you look

[01:08:32] forward to you know like I can't wait to do that bit so I can do this. That's really hard question

[01:08:38] that actually is a really hard question because I don't think I've had a day where I

[01:08:44] could just want to get out of bed like I've always had to get out of bed. Like whether it was for

[01:08:49] like work or just having to do something but um what happens like working on the next project

[01:08:59] don't you want to get out of it so you can start doing that but she's still kind of have to

[01:09:05] say to you. Yeah I kind of have to. If not nothing nothing's going to do. But um I don't really

[01:09:12] have a good answer for that one. I just at this time and in life everything is just kind of it

[01:09:20] has to be done like there is no one's like I've had a really hard time finding motivation to do a

[01:09:26] lot of things like the older I've gotten the more it's just dawned on me that life is just

[01:09:33] a too long it's just sure it is everything is a chore. So what would be your best bit of advice

[01:09:40] to get to someone about anything? Well one thing that I've was shy had been told when I was younger

[01:09:49] because you know you go through all of your all these years going to school right and so in

[01:09:54] starting in middle school they start drilling you about college and they're like well think of

[01:09:59] what you're passionate about okay well I'm passionate about things that deal with art. I have always

[01:10:05] been very artistic very creative well you can't really have a business it's very hard I can't say

[01:10:11] can't say yeah you can't because there's a lot of photographers yes instead but it's not like

[01:10:15] it's not like it's not easy at all there is so much work that is involved with doing any type of

[01:10:20] job that deals with creativity. You got to sell your work you got to sell your work you got to sell

[01:10:30] by just happening to know the right person and that yes. So yeah continue.

[01:10:36] So what I have learned and what I wish I'd been told is do not pick a job based on passion

[01:10:43] don't don't you're gonna stress yourself out change your degree so many times because you're

[01:10:49] looking for that passion you're looking for that degree that satisfies that passion don't do it

[01:10:55] at the degree if you were like under a type of if you're in a family where they are requiring

[01:11:02] you to college we're just not about thing it's I think it's very beneficial later in life

[01:11:07] but if you are being required to go to college or if you just yourself want to go to college

[01:11:11] pick a degree that has a good job outlook and has a good pay skill so don't pick a degree that's like

[01:11:22] oh this will lead me to where I can do my passion you can do your passion regardless of what degree

[01:11:27] you have you can get a science degree and if you can just paint and have your own paintings

[01:11:35] studio like you can do wherever passion you want get a degree that's the job of pay for your passion

[01:11:42] so that's I mean that's really like the biggest piece of advice I can give people because I

[01:11:48] that was my biggest stress was I she's been to three five times five times my dad gave me an

[01:11:54] ultimate I was like you need a figure you should know like you need to and I'm like okay fine

[01:12:01] HR yeah I mean and that is a good point because like my son he he really likes ceramics

[01:12:10] and he stopped about owning his own studio every said it he thought it'd be really cool that

[01:12:14] his own studio Sunday I said there's never reason why you can't exactly but I also told him at one

[01:12:20] point I said whether you're able to pursue it as like a career or just as a hobby or a side hustle

[01:12:26] like if you really enjoy it don't stop doing it yeah because that's the thing too is your hobby

[01:12:32] and your passion doesn't have to die because you're not able to do that as a career you can still

[01:12:38] do that as a hobby or a passion but in order to pay for that hobby in a passion you have to have

[01:12:45] a job I think what happens though is a lot of times people don't really know what they want to

[01:12:51] do for a career yeah and then they find what they can and then they get stuck in this career that

[01:12:58] they don't enjoy right and so I think that's what I like they say follow your dreams yeah

[01:13:04] that's such a toxic saying it can't be so toxic yeah I mean it's it's good if you can find a way to

[01:13:12] make it happen but it's going to be hard it's very hard it makes it for me it made it even harder

[01:13:17] because I wanted to follow my dreams I just wasn't really sure what kind of job that would be and

[01:13:23] I think if I was just told find something because at the time I wasn't mature enough to be able

[01:13:29] to make that realization of my own you know that college was there to help me get a degree

[01:13:36] that'll help me get a job that was sustainable that I could that would pay me to be able to

[01:13:42] afford whatever my dream was yeah just get a shoot if your if your good at science good at science

[01:13:51] degree get a computer technology and my computer science is exploding it also at the same time

[01:13:56] so it's also laid off but I mean you know but like business degrees like business degrees are great

[01:14:03] so just get something that's related to that and find your job yes sustainable and that pays good

[01:14:10] and then do all your dreams on the side yeah because that itself can eventually lead to your career

[01:14:16] you don't have to do this for those real life do it's where you can afford your dreams and then

[01:14:21] once your dreams point where they are sustainable as a job do that yeah

[01:14:26] because that's that's what Philip and I are going to do like we bought a bunch of powder coating stuff

[01:14:31] and we have that in storage and eventually we're just going to open up our own business doing

[01:14:35] powder coating and we're going to get to the point where we can afford to live off of powder

[01:14:41] coating yeah that's good yeah everything nice and it's it's it's my creative side and his

[01:14:48] his creative side too really and we both have the knowledge and the experience to be able to

[01:14:55] do that job and run it and we have you know the community behind us and I think it'll be great

[01:15:03] but it's an eventual thing yeah and it's something that you can build up on this and then

[01:15:09] it's not that I've been building up into it yeah yep exactly so there's anything else you

[01:15:13] wanted to talk about before we go hop and click or even find out what a cool is

[01:15:18] um I don't think so I think we've pretty much covered everything um I'm hoping to have

[01:15:28] the purple catch running by a seabee fuss and once actually once we get the purple hatch running

[01:15:35] that'll be the most super is we've ever had running yeah so will the only car that

[01:15:40] will not be running is the 2008 red SCI hatch okay but I don't think that car's ever going to

[01:15:47] run because it's not titled and um personal for that we bought it from also it wasn't titled

[01:15:55] then they bought us a parts car yeah and the only reason why we bought it is because we were

[01:15:59] gonna make it clivered like we were gonna make clifers in official SCI and um it just it ended

[01:16:05] being more of a headache than anything because because the car's not titled and we don't like

[01:16:09] the little soul may have is from the person that also didn't have it's title um there's not

[01:16:15] really much we can do with I mean we we can get it bonded like a bonded title for it but it's

[01:16:22] so we have to get the car running first and yeah I do have one more question about so do you

[01:16:28] catch any flag for a car that is a WX that you're now saying is an STI and people actually

[01:16:35] so there's the reason why I don't call clifers in SCI is because a lot it's like with the

[01:16:42] skyline like I don't call it a GTR because it's not and um people get really weird about that

[01:16:48] and I get it like I can I can understand like let's say you have an STI or you have a GTR

[01:16:56] and you put X and X amount of money in it just buying the car itself and then because there

[01:17:02] is a price difference and so for someone to have not that car and is claiming that it is

[01:17:09] it can be frustrating like in annoying however it doesn't matter really you have the car you know

[01:17:15] you have the real thing you yeah it's just I think it's more of just an oint but um I just purposely

[01:17:22] don't isn't STI too also just like a technology and yeah it really is like it's a different

[01:17:30] and not just not just the badge on a car it's it's a different tune the head to different

[01:17:38] yeah I can see I don't know enough about it too I mean I can't say like if you so if no one

[01:17:44] were to modify cars like let's say we could not modify cars I think it would meet a lot more

[01:17:51] in SCI if you're comparing just a stocked WX to a stock SCI there are actually quite a few

[01:17:58] differences are they like blatantly obvious no they're not um is there like a huge difference in

[01:18:05] between them no not really but there are differences and it's been mechanically and

[01:18:11] yeah tuned lives okay yeah all right shall we go hop and Clifford we shall let's go install the uh

[01:18:22] that's funny all right let's do this I see your part true in there yeah that's one of them

[01:18:28] one of the parts rooms oh okay what are they doing over there they're carrying a seat to put it in the car

[01:18:41] honestly I think um all of our neighbors are you sitting a studio should look like this yeah let's

[01:18:48] so I can safely say I have never installed a seat in a car before that is A okay we will

[01:18:58] get this all right this is probably gonna be all right I'm gonna help you by getting and

[01:19:06] yeah I'm gonna help you from back here yeah this I don't know what I'm doing

[01:19:17] all right that's getting the seat in

[01:19:22] that's go

[01:19:24] now is it gonna be bolted down or am I just gonna sit in

[01:19:29] yeah it'll be bolted down oh you have no back seats yeah so what happens in the reason why it's like this

[01:19:36] is so I had a uh battery sitting in the back seat over here on the grounds but I completely forgot

[01:19:42] about and on any other day what have been fine however at some point of having this battery

[01:19:50] in the back seat of the car um it flipped over oh and I had no idea and um it uh leaked battery acid

[01:20:02] on the ground oh I had no idea wait didn't leak it in the back yeah like it was eating the carpet

[01:20:09] oh yeah and it was also eating the the metal floor in our knees and uh so let's see let me find the other two

[01:20:20] things there's bolted I can see they go up here see I have the bolts over you're in here

[01:20:27] I have some bolts over this door stickers dash cam

[01:20:33] um yeah actually does still have the OEM handle I'll be somewhere in the same

[01:20:59] I do like I like really good oh let me check the back okay might be in the trunk

[01:21:05] all right this is all very interesting oh so um the so battery acid started eating the

[01:21:18] back seat of the car and um we caught it probably I don't know it was probably like a few days of it

[01:21:26] like eating the back and after finding it

[01:21:31] what's up dude am I in your way do I need to move oh okay

[01:21:44] let's see we're gonna show our house you can see you yeah

[01:21:51] trying to find the other two bolts it's gonna bolt in this passenger seat

[01:22:00] already got two of them bolted in yeah the back too we looked in the glove box and didn't see any

[01:22:11] so oh here's one okay and then I don't know where that last one went

[01:22:23] I don't know where that last bolt went

[01:22:27] it's the same as that bolt oh thank you it's perfect oh thank you do you get it

[01:22:38] I'm trying to oh there we go now it's going on okay and I found the other

[01:22:43] our bolts on there another one where does the other one go exactly oh thank you um I'm

[01:23:05] is that your anti-fifter vice this I guess it can be

[01:23:19] oh yeah that would help oh she's I don't either at the time

[01:23:29] this one's pretty tight over here okay yeah it definitely helps

[01:23:48] no I was like I have to say this is the first time I've ever put a seat in a car

[01:24:03] that's no blame I'll just leave the garage door open and stuff I'm gonna close our

[01:26:15] it does this does weird shit

[01:26:21] oh I'm pretty sure yeah I think it has a a week so when it gets to the point where it's trying

[01:26:31] to get the engine temp down it does this yeah like the closely versus open loop

[01:26:39] okay yeah what does that mean exactly um it's a good question I don't know the exact

[01:26:46] the scientific definition might not it's like getting the it's for cattle at

[01:26:55] it converters okay like when you're trying to get the engine up to temp it'll

[01:27:01] like warming up the cat so before you drive it has something to do with that okay yeah

[01:27:06] you know it's nice you said that the AC isn't I guess it's not working or you just don't yeah

[01:27:12] it's cool outside yeah it's not that it's a good day for this yeah it really is actually

[01:27:18] it's a good day for this okay we're gonna do a little like cruising around for now

[01:27:25] to get it get it warmed up yeah let's see I'm not to do some weird maneuver getting all

[01:27:33] oh do you need me to move no no okay it's just like oh you earlier you talked about stalling

[01:27:41] I mean I've been driving for over three and a half years and I still stall occasionally

[01:27:48] it happens like it happens more than I think people expect

[01:27:54] I'm trying to get it's where um I'm choosing to get rice oh there's water in here

[01:28:04] I guess that's a portion I got a foot that's what more stuff I got a foot

[01:28:10] I'm getting this all on Audita also oh yeah right got that on Audita too

[01:28:17] when you at one point you didn't have the bumper on and it was so much easier to drive

[01:28:22] is that just like the cooler what is that yeah yeah he said I could transmission cooler or something

[01:28:29] it's uh it's an intercooler for um the air that comes into the car it's supposed to be like cooler air

[01:28:37] um because the original intercooler that comes on these cars is like right up at the top

[01:28:42] and the double right yeah yeah super small they really don't do much

[01:28:46] it's really fun yeah yeah yeah and they're really prone to heat so too

[01:28:53] so what made you decide to put the bumper back on um it just a different look okay I just

[01:29:18] pulled on yeah oh I have no idea oh I think it's because the I forgot to plug in the air bag

[01:29:28] oh okay so I'm gonna die well as long as we don't wreck

[01:29:39] this is kind of a frustrating intersection yeah I can see why yeah a lot of people drive through here

[01:29:47] cuz it's like a direct entrance to 45 so long time ago my mom worked for this attorney

[01:29:59] and there was this woman niki that worked with my mom there was another woman that worked there

[01:30:28] oh shit yeah there's a ton of looks like a jetta and we were in the country so here

[01:30:41] I get was at a family reunion and she was trying to teach me how to drive a manual and there

[01:30:46] is a driveway going out onto the highway and thankfully there wasn't very busy because we had

[01:30:51] you know out and nowhere and I get trying to get out of the driveway and I get stalling it

[01:30:56] I don't remember if she ended up having to get the the privacy here or self-ful what but

[01:31:02] that was pretty interesting yeah now it's you know it's easy

[01:31:07] right it's like now it's like the back of your hands yeah like this car

[01:31:13] it usually is easy to drive but I don't like I've got something going on like it's leaking really bad

[01:31:20] somewhere where like just it keeps like killing the car okay so all of that the

[01:31:27] place and like dying of the car is we're driving yeah that's what that was I don't know

[01:31:33] like the more you modify these cars the more frustrating they get it yeah

[01:31:44] it's all part of the experience hey this again this is a great day for this

[01:31:49] it feels so brilliant yeah it is the perfect day for this

[01:31:55] and we get to do this this is like one of the coolest experiences of recording and episode

[01:32:02] really? because that means you're usually not finding somebody's car to show you

[01:32:08] now again I did it's 48 hours of dry state I was driving in a couple of people's cars but

[01:32:13] I don't think I've ever driven in somebody's car when I was recording their actual episode

[01:32:18] ah yeah you should have you sort of have you thought about doing like videos during

[01:32:24] broadcasting yeah I mean I thought about it but like sometimes I do an almost video with it you know

[01:32:32] like little clips like a little video gone around flip- flip but people have said oh you should do

[01:32:37] it but I'm like this is a lot of work and it is a lot of work

[01:32:40] I get told that I should do YouTube as well and I'm like I'm a love to

[01:32:45] I had to get some of my time back from all the time that I was releasing it every week now

[01:33:00] I think you get every other week time gets you big

[01:33:18] little bit down here officially isn't very many cops out this room so I was just like

[01:33:34] I'm gonna put some of this hard and I was like chilling it was like a super hot day

[01:33:44] I was coming back from a meet and I was like in the left hand lane on 45 going probably like 80

[01:33:52] and that'll be a little 65 and I had my arm out the window like it was a pond like I needed here

[01:33:58] so I was just like sitting here dying like sweat my ass off and this sanctuary comes up behind me

[01:34:05] and um and I'm like oh god dammit like I know he's gonna pull me over so I just like

[01:34:10] I get over into the lane next week and then he turns on his lights and he's like calling us to get behind me

[01:34:16] and I'm like yep I'm far too like he's full mirror

[01:34:18] and so like I start giving over I take the exit and like I still have my arm out the window

[01:34:22] like sitting here dying and so I pull into the dealership parking lot

[01:34:27] just random dealership and he walks up to the car he's like checking out the car

[01:34:31] and he's like licensed registration so I give him my stuff and like as I'm pulling up the

[01:34:36] registration and in my email because I don't have it like on paper um he comes air he's just like

[01:34:44] checking out the cars I'm doing this and um I was not expecting

[01:35:33] I love this car wow

[01:35:43] damn I really wish my dash can't work so I could have gotten

[01:35:46] oh my god wow oh man bunch it wow

[01:35:56] that was insane I gotta do it again yeah no actually I do like there is a um

[01:36:04] what I like doing is uh the end what does that mean exactly so what we're gonna do

[01:36:17] is we're going oh my god that was a sheriff oh my god

[01:36:40] so my can't fall over it come only shit I cannot believe that or one more time

[01:36:55] and sorry let's see I gotta remember how to do this we gotta get up to

[01:37:11] now what you're supposed to do is the way that I turn around my car that I have it tuned

[01:37:45] is you turn on this rear to cross your yeah and then you get it up to the higher RPM

[01:37:50] whatever gear you want to be in and you hold down the cancel button and it'll make that

[01:37:56] it'll it'll I don't really know what exactly it is it's like shooting

[01:38:02] it's like the purpose of it is just hold the turbo up like if you have a really big turbo in

[01:38:07] your car usually it's not going to spool up until you're around like 5,000 plus our pins

[01:38:12] but the unfortunate side of that once you're at that higher pms you're left for only like

[01:38:19] to be anyone how built your car in your engine is you're left with only

[01:38:24] 3,000 to 4,000 RPM to do your thing before you have to shift so what people will do

[01:38:30] is they'll use any lag to boost their turbo prior to where it typically is going to start

[01:38:39] schooling so on this car something's dragging

[01:38:45] it sounded like it let me just let me do the double-check a little bit okay

[01:38:59] my exhaust fell off somewhere what like the whole thing like a

[01:39:06] bottom half of it oh my god we're gonna go look for it oh my god

[01:39:13] it's a habit when you get on this new podcast as I saw this guy cycling I was like man

[01:40:33] if we do it this way we're gonna scare the crap out of this car yeah I know all over

[01:40:37] break the valve I wouldn't do that so I'm gonna solve it

[01:40:58] yeah we lost it exhaust sounds like something's dragging

[01:41:33] it does sound like something like something strong we check it before right so

[01:41:37] it is there's something Jack yeah it's not like dragging and then you get a lot of looks like oh

[01:41:46] that's a girl driving that color I assume that must be part of the looks I don't know

[01:41:52] for sure though of course I will hear people say it though like oh shit like that's a

[01:41:58] that's a chick's part oh I guess I could have yeah yep well I'm through anything

[01:42:41] oh no exhaust yeah all right getting a picture of that for the podcast you totally

[01:43:04] should I did I just think of it the things you experiencing Clifford

[01:43:10] to be in your podcast then you're saying there's a lot of people don't

[01:43:37] rev match when they don't show you I'm not really sure what you mean like uh

[01:43:42] when you downshift into a gear do you try to do you lift the throttle to try to get the

[01:43:48] yeah a lot of people can do that it's just easier when you do that like it feels

[01:43:55] better when you're driving you do it on rough matcha so it's a smoother

[01:44:04] downshift instead of a car going like this whenever you don't shift it's

[01:44:27] quite a fool okay so a pull is it's like the terminology that's used when you're

[01:44:33] tuning so what do you do with pulling you're starting at the RPM that your turbo

[01:44:38] uses a small size so for my turbo it's usually around 5,000 rpm

[01:44:44] okay um because it's a slightly bigger turbo uh it's a GX 3576 you also hear that that's a

[01:44:51] baby turbo which is technically I mean if comparison the types of

[01:44:57] series is kind of a baby astral um however because it's full of 5,000 rpm it's

[01:45:04] usually where I like to start so tuning on the road of mine if I'm in second gear we'll

[01:45:10] start at around 5,000 rpm and then I will just put the throttle all the way to the floor

[01:45:18] and then I was shift at around 7500 rpm and that means that's really a pull you

[01:45:26] put you throttle all the way to the floor and you go all the way to hit your shifting point

[01:45:31] and then you will shift to the next gear and that's like a pull okay so you're going all the way

[01:45:36] from for me it's 5,000 rpm to 7500 rpm okay I felt it

[01:45:46] I seriously like speechless like I've been I've been in a muscle car a couple of muscle cars before

[01:45:53] like American muscle I was in a 67 Camaro that was an automatic and the guy got a pretty good

[01:46:00] second gear scratch and then I had a 79 Camaro bars acceleration is concerned I went to

[01:46:39] Subaru of one of those stuff in Madison, Wisconsin I drove where I rode in the car with my

[01:46:47] he has an STI that he's had to do that stuff and he drove it out on the track even got some

[01:46:54] pointers from Scott Speed, Scott Speed was there and he was like a thing that he won

[01:46:59] where if you win this thing Scott Speed will ride in a car I don't know if he rode

[01:47:03] they're already giving some tips and tell them but his car is pretty fast but if being on a track

[01:47:11] it was all like second gear driving obviously and so I got to experience acceleration from that

[01:47:18] but not just like straight shot, drag race, acceleration like it's it's different it's like

[01:47:29] going into hyper space and stall or it's like everything is going really sh**

[01:47:35] I mean yeah that's yeah yeah this is what I love about the one Instagram when I see your videos

[01:47:52] but you and your husband are doing holes and I see your expressions now I know why yes like

[01:47:58] it's hard to show the speed on a video like especially like a dash cam video which is all

[01:48:04] but I use pretty much just dash cam footage so if anybody listening knows somebody with a very fast

[01:48:10] car and they know how to do a really good bull highly recommended you know this is the second time

[01:48:23] we're going across a car going through this really I think they're hopefully

[01:49:02] 450 or 450 is fun as hell in these cars and you saw this one is it five yeah this one is

[01:49:11] 50 five 90 which is a lot of fun it's yeah just experience but can be extremely frustrating as well

[01:49:26] but you know all of this all the frustrating things about these cars

[01:49:32] for the like majority they're all my fault yeah they're all my fault so

[01:49:40] like they're all from the doing a meat angel yeah so I can't really blame the cars for any

[01:49:46] like bad things that they do or like anything that they do wrong yeah do we do we need to take

[01:49:52] just it's me now the game it's mainly arguing yeah do we need to take your seat out again

[01:49:57] no okay I'll just I'll take it out later I gotta install the carpet back and everything yeah

[01:50:06] yep always always an experience oh

[01:50:13] wow and the exhaust well thank you for taking the time to record of course
