Im sure it could help it some sort of way, but ur best bet is either KROWN oil spray, or tar up the entire under body of the car ---

to be honest, I wouldn’t dare to drive my S14 in the winter, even with winter tires… but I know plenty of people do drive their 240’s in the winter and they seem to get by just fine. ---

i drove my last s13 through the winter. it can be done as long as you drive smart, stay easy on the throttle, and have some good winters. my next s13, depending on how clean it is, i am looking to store it over winter and get a beater for the snow. ---
