Thanks Rory. I appreciate it man. The full suspension bike eats everything up and wants to go faster even though I wasn't pumping anything or really committing to the drops/jumps or just going through the chunk at speed since I'm scared of the handlebars breaking off. I was actually on the brakes about 90% of that run. That bike scares me though with how fast it develops speed and how responsive the handling is. One small lean and it's already changing directions.
Yeah, we though shuttling it would make it more bearable and there wouldn't be alot of people but we were surprised to see a few cars at the top of the shuttle spot for gmr east (only one car though for gmr west). Yeah the psi is the turbo reading
@@BFBMTb Does the Impreza have two different motors or three? Few years ago the Impreza wagon was on my shopping list and I remember it had like the 1.8 or 2.0 motor. Don't remember seeing a turbo option but I guess that is only for the WRX?
@@specagent999 in 2015 they changed most of the subaru engines to a 2.0 liter engine that's more efficient and robust. There are a few different variations of the FA motor, but the impreza has the non turbo model of the engine while the wrx has the turbocharged version. The non-turbo engines produced quite a bit of torque and the engine was pretty reliable(they are the reason why subaru has high ratings on reliability). Adding in the turbo made it much much faster, but at the cost of reliability and maintenance cost (the wrx and sti have to have good fresh oil and need to inspect hose clamps often since they are known to break shaft bearings with used up oil and they will knock with any kind of air leak in the intact tract)
@@BFBMTb I'm not real familiar with the Impreza lineup but I liked the look and practicality of the wagon. I also liked the Crosstrek. The WRX would be great to own but I passed on it due to cost and maintenance like you mentioned about the turbos. Do you run Mobil 1 oil? That seems to be the go to oil for enthusiasts.
@@specagent999 I actually wanted a wagon or crosstrek, but got stuck with the wrx due to the ex-wife lol. I honestly run any kind of full synthetic oil in the wrx to try and save $ since I change the oil every 3k miles. I used to run mobile 1 when I used to race the car at track and time attack events. What car did you end up getting?
you looked very comfortable out there on the full suspension MTB well done mate 👏

92 degrees in the morning is too hot but when it is that hot there are less people out on the trails. Is the PSI reading for turbo?
