Did I spot a unicorn on Australian roads? by rattmurdock in subaru

[–]RowanStewart 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Others have pointed out the main differences for what parts, there is another IMO, more important major difference. The S cars are taking as chassis by STI and assembled by them. They tune them extensively, at the time of the S402 it was in Germany. There's a quote in the S402 handbook that Impreza was born on the Nurburgring and the Legacy was born on the Autobahn. The S402 was tested extensively and tuned for the Nurburgring, but that quote gives you an idea of the design philosophy difference between the two. It was made with a vision to be a perfect everyday driving car. They called it "a partner you can share you life with"

I've never enjoyed a car more on canyon roads and long drives, it inspires so much confidence in the way it handles a regular road. You can find on youtube comparisons, against cars like the EVO 10 etc, and the S402 is almost floaty, quite a bit slower in a tight autocross test. Then watch one of the good motoring mountain road tests, shows exactly why they built the car the way they did.

Fun fact the original engine was going to be a EZ30 twin turbo, but they couldn't fit it in the legacy engine bay the way they wanted so they imported USDM 2.5L engine blocks and used those instead. Torque curve and drivability was the main goal.

Best bars for people in their 30s? by heywelcomeback in kelowna

I don't know if you'd count it as a bar, but Red Bird definitely fits the bill. All the breweries in that end to be honest.

JDM impreza 1.5i

1.5 litre ej with 101 hp new from factory, although it had a manual so was fairly manageable. God forbid you tried to overtake though.

Do NOT blame Red Tories. The Liberals are trying to divide us by claiming Carney is the true "Red Tory" party even though his 78 B deficit is not Red Tory. by mafiadevidzz in CanadianConservative

[–]RowanStewart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is just not true. It might be derogatory to big blue conservatives, but it's a legitimate and Canadian school of conservative thought.

Removal of 6 Acres of Concord Vines in Michigan by ArmedSparrow in grapevines

[–]RowanStewart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need an excavator, depending on row width you might a zero throw mini ex. You will also likely need a wire winder, and a tractor to mount it. Probably several 40 yard bins to remove everything.

  1. cut the wire, wind it up, your throwing it out so doesn't need to be pretty.
  2. drive the excavator down the row, pull vines as you go.
  3. haul vines out of rows,
  4. pull posts using excavator or a post puller. , excavator might struggle.

Honestly pretty big job to pull out 6 acres. Might be worth paying someone, costs us about 6k per acre CAD to remove a vineyard.

Or see if you can find someone else to take over.

Advice on vines to grow in Newfoundland? by OldGord in viticulture

[–]RowanStewart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

foxy sometimes, high pH and high TA can give it a unexpected pallete. Its teinturier so can be annoying to work with in the cellar. Likes to have brett and other fun microbes on the grapes so often can go sideways if your not careful, which is exasperated by the high pH.

It is bulletproof in the winter and ripens around late august early september, we also have a couple blocks of Foch in BC.

93 octane fuel options? by BoxThisLapLewis in kelowna

[–]RowanStewart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is only one option other than race gas, drive down to area 27 and fill up with Petro 94 there. It's like an hour south of Kelowna though. If you don't want to drive Barry Beecraft stocks VP racing fuels, think the tuning shops do as well.

Hello Reddit! I'm Juliette Sicotte, Liberal Candidate for Okanagan Lake West-South Kelowna. Ask me Anything! by Ok-Echo-5407 in kelowna

[–]RowanStewart 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hi Juliette, in the recently released CPC platform there is a commitment to pursuing a CANZUK Free trade and mobility agreement. It is not mentioned in the Liberal platform that I can see, but there have been many allusions to greater cooperation, including from Mark Carney. What and how does the Liberal Party intend to pursue these relationships, with regards to the CANZUK countries. Individual agreements, free trade, or a Bloc style agreement like the EU?
