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

Well, my 8 is going to be stored this week.
|
Ahhh the first snowfall :lol: there was a nice coat on the roads around 12am last night in Apple Valley... Oh what fun did I have with and without the traction control on.
I am going to see if I can do F1 and 90lbs in the back again this year, just not in a position to get Blizzaks financially... unless of course they were 20 dollars total. :rofl: I did All-Season last year and it was fine. Traction control is nice on the ramps and bridges. For those who are driving for the first time in winter with their 8... Remember to shift! Stalling out is not fun in icy conditions, especially when you are a passanger! |

What Tranny fluid do you guys run in your car? I'm getting some grinding and crunchy shifts. I don't know if it's the cold weather or if my Tranny just doesn't like Royal Purple.
|
I still have my stock rims for sale if anyone needs another set for the winter. I used them for about 3 months so they are pratically new[no curb rash or dents]. I was saving them for some blizzaks but I have decided to park her for this winter. You can PM me if interested.

Hey it's been a long time since I was able to log in here. I also see a lot of new people posting from Minnesota.
Anything new going on for the winter or things winding down again? |

Mine will be mostly stored. It's got a set of Pirelli winters on just in case. I will drive it on days that it doesn't snow. Like today for example.

seen it done once, although never happened to me. apparently happens a lot in the cold, especially if you dont get your engine to operating temp before you turn it off. |
i tried that and it kept cranking and i also took ot my spark plugs and cleaned them up and still same thing
|
Forgot it was going to snow yesterday....So I drove my RX8 to work. I also forgot how much fun the RX8 is in the snow....especially when you're climbing up a steep hill that hasn't been plowed. um...yeah...that was interesting.
|
umm yeah... no kidding. I've had a lot of fun drifting the last few days. I made the mistake however of following someone up a very steep incline (the one on grand) when it was snowing. Luckily they didn't stop because i would have slid back down the hill and ruined my car. It's been a while since i was that scared.
|
Yeah......it's been tricky....Snow tires still = a joke when it's not plowed....but whatever.... :)
Snow pictures people! Post em! |
|

Nice to see a fellow RX8 braving the snow.
|
I wasn't sure what to expect out of my 8 this winter but so far I am very impressed. Tossed some Pirelli Sottozeros on it last month and have no problems getting around. I will post some pics of the winter setup in the next couple of days.

Ha.. My garage is still a work in progress... so my car was out in the driveway when the cold and snow hit.
With the snow yesterday even deeper, I figured I should move it and shovel around where the car was.. with my Bridgestone Potenza S-03's the car wouldn't even move.. it just started sliding down the hill.. :P I ended up having to screw in the top loop and pull the car to a shoveled (level) spot on the driveway with my Jeep. I knew there was "little" traction with these tires and snow, I just didn't realize it was NO traction... (BTW I also found out you can "burn rubber" on snow with these tires! They left huge black marks on the top of the snow where they were spinning.. I didn't even think that was possible.) |
