RX-8skater 10-28-2008 01:33 PM

so im putting my 8 up for the winter should i do anything before i put it up never had to put a car up for winter before anything would help

You need to disconnect your battery. I had to buy a new one this summer because I did not disconnect mine. Also some tires will flatspot if they sit all winter. Some people store on jackstands, but the flatspots usually go away with some miles.

I did, the buy now is 2500. Engine seem to be in a good condition. I think I'll wait on it.

Speedrx8er 10-31-2008 05:00 PM

Anyone needs snow tires? they are the blizac snow tires.
Still have plenty of threads left. You can look at it before you buy

What are the miles?

Speedrx8er 10-31-2008 06:11 PM

I forgot the miles. But I am going back there again to look at another car.
I do remember the drive door will not open from the outside handle

welcome!!

MadeULook 11-04-2008 10:30 PM

Welcome! We need one more meet before we park em.

Mn_Rotary954 11-05-2008 02:01 PM

Do a few people here still use the car during the winter? I'm debating wether to just put snowtires on or park.

lvb4udi 11-06-2008 09:49 AM

This will be my first winter with my RX8 and I just put some winter tires on it yesterday. I think the ideal situation would be to park it through the winter but it's just not an option for me right now.

TonyVS12385 11-06-2008 10:09 AM

dpends how much power and such you have on your car.. RWD with a lot of power just sucks in winter... I am driving it this winter and drove it last winter, without snow tires even... this year with, if we ever get snow that is...

i think it is easier to drive RWD in the winter anyways... and it's fun. just need to know how to handle the car :)

xdj_jdx 11-06-2008 06:32 PM

im not drivin mine this winter but it did come with a set of wheels/tyres im tryin to get rid of.... 200 bills if you want to drive in the snow.

BoosTED 11-06-2008 06:33 PM

This car does great in the winter with winter tires and traction control.

It can be done without traction control but is much much safer with.

I found the 8 easier to drive in the snow than front wheel drive cars running all season tires.

It is about winter, and to be honest, I am rather terrified of driving my RX8 in the snow for the first time.

Here in Redwood Falls tonight, we already have an inch of snow on the roads. I took Friday off, because I am CHICKEN!

All my life, I have had front wheel drive cars, and for the last 10 years, I had a fantastic "all wheel drive" '98 Eclipse that never knew what snow was.

Giggle, I will soon learn how well an RX8 drives in the snow!

It's a little scary at first and then, FUN kicks in. Just don't take the FUN too far :)
I have an Eclipse for the winter.......but I will still take my RX8 out for fun.

RCChris 11-08-2008 12:03 AM

Look what I have in my garage? Guesses anyone? And not the RX8 (duh), or the Silver Eclipse behind it.
