Hate the winter: (pics of parts to come)
NY winters are brutal. Counting the days down to the end of winter. For those that don't know, the exhaust is the HKS sport and springs are H&R sports.

Re: Hate the winter: (RacerBoy)
nice exhaust! classic HKS design 
...well at least the winter gives you a chance to collect your parts, so you can enjoy them come summer time

Re: Hate the winter: (battlecat187)
I pulled my rex for the winter (due to salty roads in ottawa - I'm sure they're just as bad as in T.O., cdtrix...)
But I still hit the $2 self wash every 2nd day to keep my jeep from falling apart underneath me...
I'm sorry for anyone who drives a nice CRX or hatch in this stuff....

Re: Hate the winter: (MR.RED'89)
the last three winters when I didn't have a project car to work on, the weather was fine. This winter NYC is a mess, and I think I caught a bad cold from insisting on working on my car yesterday when it was 20*........................... 
On top of that if the temperature drops below 30* when I start up my rex the engine light comes on
I made a thread on this board if anyone can help.

Re: Hate the winter: (PhAtBoY Si)
At least,Honda as built a great engine aka the B16
For an engine 12 years old,it always start(Even with timing bumped) when it's -20 outside... more considering the wind!
All I can say is,at that temperature.....the Yellow and the race coil are stiff even at ½ position.Problem are the traction.
I run 195/65(I think)R14.BFGoodrich something....I bought them from my father.
Not amazing but ok for winter or 2
for drift time!!!
