In today's episode, we sit down with Jeff Perrin to discuss his love for Subarus and what it's like being one of the most well-known US names in the industry! Jeff was able to turn his dreams into reality when the first WRX was released in North America by building a company focused on quality parts for a unique market...and he hasn't stopped since. PERRIN Performance has become a staple name offering a catalog of parts to modify your Subaru. We talk about their start in the 2000s, the new 2022 "VB" WRX, and what lies ahead for Subaru and PERRIN Performance.

Join us for our first podcast as we sit down with Dan Kroll to talk about how he got started and his baller STI time attack build!  

Dan is a long time friend of RCE who's been building a Subaru STI unlimited class time attack car for a very long time. Big aero, wide tires, and lots of power. We talk about suspension set up with high downforce cars, set backs along the way, things we wish we could do to our Subarus, and his plans for next year.
