I don’t get what’s so great about Southlake. It’s flat there’s not many trees, it’s a terrible traffic ridden drive to downtown Dallas. I’ll take old Preston Hollow anyway. Old money Dallas old trees, hills and class.
Glad you enjoy them - I'll do more soon. I'm also planning on re-doing this video at the end of summer when most of the houses should be finished with construction.
Thanks! I used a DJI Air 3 and settings were 4K, 50 FPS, 100 shutter speed, DJI ND 64 filter, everything else on auto. Although I believe when it was rendered it became 30 FPS.
The main rotor is connected directly to the motor and the tail rotor is connected via belt. Didn’t want to test it indoors with the main rotor blades attached as my wife would be upset if the dog was decapitated.
19 PSI on this setup? I just did a full turboback and Cobb stage 2 tune (93 oct) and only peak 17.5-18 psi, and hold around 15,16. With a Highwaste map I hit 19.5 psi max and held closer to Cobb's suggested 18. Just wondering what your peak / held PSI was with this setup in the vid. Maybe I should go back to the HWG map.
Correct. I'm hoping the E85 will bump me to around 330 hp and 390-400 tq. Not sure the carbon fiber driveshaft will add anything, but definitely improved low-speed drivability.
Thanks for posting this, I live in Lubbock, really didn't realize the riding was that good in the Big Bend area for dual sports, your video has convinced me to go check it out.
how are the perrin spacers holding up? i drive my 16 sti very hard and im worried the 20mm spacers will cause the tire to rub or have problems over potholes and stuff, do you recommend the spacers? i might get the 15mms
45,000 miles with the spacers and zero problems. No rubbing and no issues with potholes. I think you'll like the look of the 20's better, plus they come with the studs already installed.
Quintin Caletka - I was in the same boat as you and researched it for weeks before doing it. Now, I'd do it all over again. It's absolutely no different than having a different wheel setup with a wider offset, just like my summer wheels. The handling is also better with the wider stance.
Quintin Caletka - no intake, they just make a lot of noise with almost no performance gain (especially for the price) unless you're way beyond Stage 2.
Great video and ride! Thanks for sharing. I noticed that you said you have these tracks available in another comment. Any chance you could send them my way? I am making my first trip out their on my f800 this November and would love any advice you are willing to lend. Curious: is an f800 too heavy/big to ride Old Ore? Thanks in advance
An F800 will be fine on Old Ore Road. The road going from Terlingua Ranch cabins into the park is very sandy for maybe a couple miles and could be a challenge on a heavy bike. But if you're not staying at the cabins I doubt you'll ever be on that road. I'll send you the file...
Do you still have this car? I just got a 2016 sti and I wanted to know how reliable is this. I'm getting really scared with the whole ringlands thing and this is my first subaru. your car looks great by the way
Yes, I still have the car and just got back from an 11 state, 3,600 mile trip. The car now has a little over 35,000 miles and haven't had a problem with Stage 2. The oil is changed every 5,000 miles at the dealership where I bought it using the Subaru synthetic brand oil. I think the only thing I've added since this video is a carbon fiber driveshaft, and I put the factory mufflers back on just because I prefer it a little quieter (there's already enough road noise!).
+Bart M oh kool man. Yeah I want to get an exhaust but nothing crazy loud bcuz I'm not in my 20's anymore lol. maybe I'll go with the cobb exhaust or invidia 300q. I hope there's a night and day difference on the stage 2 from your car being stock. if their is then that's going to be my next move. I want a little more power lol
It probably feels faster then your old gt500 due to the turbos... Supercharger boost feels more like an NA car where as in a turbo car you feel the boost kick in and pull you back
Riding partner was a bit hesitant on some of the steep inclines and sand.....the first time nightfall was becoming an issue..weak excuses perhaps, but you go together, you ride together....next time I will probably solo. :)
i wanna get a custom tune after i get stage 3, how long did it take them to dyno and how much do the charge. i live in south texas and want to drive to plano to get them to tune it
+kennytr2001 The tune probably took a little less than an hour and cost $400 for a single fuel tune (I think it may be $600 for E85). Calvin will treat you right!
So with the tune are you still able to change the setting in the car between S-Sport, S-Sharp and Auto? Or do you now always have to drive with S-Sharp?
Abdullah Rafiq You can still change between the 3, and each one is noticeably different as it changes timing and boost. I tend to leave in 'S' most of the time around town, and switch to S# when on twisty highways or backroads. I never use 'I'.
Big Bend looks like a great dual sport destination. I need to try to make it there from Houston in the very near future. I'm glad I came across your video. I wasn't sure what to expect when I read that there technically wasn't any trail riding at Big Bend - only roads for street-legal machines. Old Ore at least looks like a really fun ride.
do you have plain vinyl from seat concepts? i i want seat concepts seat on my ktm enduro r 690 2015. i had honda crf250l 2013 in 2 years. i love that bike.
+Jennifer Colley - This is the best time of the year to go. I recommend staying at Terlingua Ranch cabins, eating breakfast there, and then dinner at the Star Light Theater.
Bart: We went from early thru Mid March, stayed one night at Terlingua at the Chisos Motel, one night mid stay a the Chisos Mountain Lodge, just to sit at a bar, drink, and have a good shower and motel room...bit pricy, but broke up the camping at Rio Grande Village...Weather was great, for the most part, a couple of cool{upper 60s/low 70s days} with just one shower....March was good...plan on finishing what I missed next March{2017}
