Prepping for cold weather.

What kind of check up or maintenance do you folks do before facing the crap ass weather?

I just got my 90Coup, and it has high miles...i dont trust it as far as i can throw it…untill i get driving around more in it.

I was thinking of:
-Replacing all fluids.
-Plugs
-gas/oil/air filters
-clean connections

how do you guys/gals like to tune up before winter?

That’s pretty much it man, plus make sure you undercoat it, and make sure you put a good set of winter tires on it because its tricky to drive in the winter, but once you get used to it you’re gonna have fun.

oh man, nothing is funner than a 300Z in the winter…

but, yes UNDERCOATING…good one, ill add that to the list.

my first 240 was awesome…huge snow tires, and a 100lbs patio stone in the trunk…ill add the patio stone to the list aswell.

For those who have done the same… regarding Patio stones or anyhting similar… do you guys find a noticable difference in slippery conditions? BTW I drive an S14…

cheers

…and what better than a 100 pound projectile in a hatchback durring a high speed impact.

Use sand bags and secure them firmly.

Or if you use a separate set of rims and rubber, shove your summers in there :wink: And if you just have one set of rims and alternate rubber, just put the rubber in there, should be good enough.

Ballast in the trunk is a double-edged sword. Yes, it helps with traction but it also adds to the rear end’s inertia when already in a slide, making it more difficult to bring back in line.

Just something to keep in mind is all.

just stick with winter tires

the only thing in the trunk is a shovel :stuck_out_tongue:

I have never put weight in the back of any cars I drove in the winter. I am pretty sure that it would have a negative effect on your rear shocks too as there would be an increased load.

my first 240 was a HB and i had the stone…i drove through anything…

we`ll see this year…i found it helped before…
