i hate snow and ice. i used to love it when i was beginning to learn but now i hate it. i need grip. i hate having the idea of not knowing if i have the grip when i need it or not. its fun to learn but after a while you just learn to dislike it. took me 35 minutes to get home from work because i was on semi bald fm901s. couldn’t even get past 5km/hr without being sideways. having a stage 2 clutch doesn’t help as well. getting them snow tires tmw! ---

A couple days ago a few buddies and myself planned to help each other with some work today. Shifting spots we had 4 240’s outside and 1 in the garage. 11am-9pm — they all had simple tune ups , suspension adjustments, and some other small & big things. Since there is some beautiful parking lots around the area me and the guys headed out to take our turns. only 2 of 5 people have winter driven rwd’ cars… the other 3 were having a learning experience… and most definitely the time of their life. Favorite winter specs for 2006-2007: Front Set-up: OEM Shocks/springs - Winter tires100%. Rear Set-up: Coilovers Set STIFF - All Seasons 50%. new diff/tranny fluid. snow, salt , or just wet road conditions, whenever you accerlate. Even LOW-RPM it breaks loose beautifully. Keeping the outofcontrol car in control is easier with this set up then all the set ups I’ve tried… Although when you go over a dip in a parking lot you really feel it… Cant wait til the winter actually starts. and for everyone who’s e-brake is broken: Get it fixxed ASAP. its cheap and you can do 180’ degree turns & cut down on understeer ---

Front Set-up: OEM Shocks/springs - Winter tires100%. Rear Set-up: Coilovers Set STIFF - All Seasons 50%. new diff/tranny fluid. as fun as that sounds, it also sounds extermily dangerous. try not too hit any curbs or poles. they can be pretty sneeky sometimes. ---

I lust for this weather, quiet snow fall, fresh layer of sleet. stock exhuast and a KA in a hatch that doesnt really matter… i had a solid hour of fun in various lots, then my lil sister wanted a ride to the bus station, i was more than happy to oblige. when i was out of town last week the Police had a call of a black nissan doing donuts out front of where i live, they came and checked the hood of my car but it was cold. last night it would have been nice and toasty… but afaik they didnt get a call, i’ll know in a few hours if they did or not. ---
