winter set up
- Thread starter tsunami
- Start date
first winter for me with my car, slowly getting it ready. I went to get my new blizzaks mounted and balanced and bolted on my car, but I decided against bolting them on since its supposed to be 50-60 degrees for another week. I still need to buy some all-weather mats, mud flaps to keep the salt and sand off the sides, and a roof rack for the trips to the mountain.
this winter i am switching back to stock intake from the cai after last winters mis-hap with a puddle. I also run my stock steelies with blizzaks non-studded. Thinking about taking the front lip off, however it did survive last winter perfectly fine. I already gave my car its final wax and detail before winter. I usually use the car wash bays to spray it off throughout the winter. Also, make sure coolant is topped off, make sure all connections for s*** like my HIDs are still tight, and make sure the battery is still good to go. This winter should be a little bit better for me considering I dont have my 74mile one way commute to school anymore. I keep an extra coat in the trunk, and a small tool case with a ratcheting nut driver with a 10mm, 12mm, 14mm and a 3/8 ratchet with a 17mm socket also phillips and regular screw drivers.
lol, its tough. good game last night though. damn the giant's running game is good.

we of course don't get the crazy amount of snow here (MA) but just the same we need to be prepared...i don't do a whole lot...got my all seasons and winter rims on..used them for 3 seasons no problem, keep the car full of gas all the time..never know when the traffic will back up during a storm and you don't want to be running out of petrol! also keep the windsheild washer tank full and an extra gallon on board, just in case. keep the tires well inflated....and go slow when the snow and ice sets in..(this part sucks

we don't get a ton of snow? I wouldn't say we have a lot of snow that sticks around long but we have the last few years gotten DUMPED on. Very good points I ran out of fluid a lot last year. I remember those folks on 93 in December abandoning their cars... anyways back on topic...
Blizzak REVO 1's 215/55/16'' rim (I think thats the size from last year). These have been superb. Installed last weekend because last year I had to do it in sub freezing weather and that was terrible.
This year's addition were Rally Armor UR mud flaps. Already love their usefulness and it hasn't even snowed. Wish I had them last year. I think I'll get a good set of those weather floormats too when it gets closer to winter.
