For the past few years I have been storing my itr by the end of october.
In the past I have done the following prior to storing:

-oil change
-battery removal
-raised all four tires via retort stands
-car cover

My question to fellow itr owners is, am I missing anything else?
any input would be great.

 

yeah, you're missing the ability to drive the car.

D

 

Canadian Winters can be a problem.....

 

that should do it

 

just get some kumho R700 rally tires

 

Whats winter?

Store your car?

 

You should get the JDM front blade to plow throught the snow!

 

What you do is good enough.

 

I heard driving in the snow in the ITR is fun. I can't wait until it start snowing, this will my my first experience in the snow with my ITR, all I have to do is get some snow tires, and the fun will start.

 

Put a charger on the battery so it doesn't discharge; use the kind that monitors the voltage and recharges only when it drops below a certain point. For that matter, you can even install an on-board battery charger so you don't need to remove the battery, you can just plug the power cord in. This is what I do on the car I store during the winter. I am using the 1.5 Amp Fully Automatic Onboard Maintainer/Charger, Item Number SE-1-12S, manufactured by Schumacher Electric Corporation. You can order it direct from their website for $32.99. I have no financial interest and am just a satisfied user yadda yadda yadda...

 

Do you plan on going in and starting?

 

aleph and myself were bored last winter, no autox in the burgh in january... so....

snow fun!

just got to orlando couple months ago.... uh, i think if it snowed down here... everyone would freak out. i'd laugh..

D

 

Driving in the snow can be fun.....the salt that they put on the roads is not
you should maybe also start it once in a while...and maybe if the road is fairly dry on some days, drive it a bit (around the block or something) and use the brakes so they wont build up rust, or sieze

 

D

Yeah.. last time i did that in a parking lot.. I was testing out my new Blizzaks I just got. There was alot more snow and it was at night, in a deserted parkinglot no less. I got a ticket from a cop who was sitting in the corner without any lights. He gave me a ticket for "Unreasonable Speed" and told me that was the "most irrisponsible thing hes seen all night"...

But all in all... It was worth it !!! lol

Winter suck!! That's why I live in Florida

 

if they're anything like GA, if it snows (regradless of the amount or if it will stick) everyone will go to the grocery store and buy all the bread and water in stock.

 

*** dat cop. snow in parking lot = low speed oversteer situations... learning/training exercise. + it's a shitpile of fun. i had a load of snow in my back seat from aleph's dumb *** driving....

ack, gonna have to disagree there, florida pretty much sucks ***... too fuggin flat. winter is a nice break. i might have to come down to miami and check out the scene sometime... ????

D

 

LOL!! tru dat... old people in pittsburgh do the same thing... milk and bread, milk and bread...

D

 

That looks so fun...

 

haha, MY stoopid driving?!? I'm the snow lot ******* mastah!!! hehe...we were skiing in 7 springs, and D suggested we do some drifts in this giant empty lot...i never had before intentially, must've spent 30 mins doing parking brake madness, my rear brakes overheated, and then there was so much snow packed in the wheels that they were unbalanced at speed...the same day as that pic was taken we were doing some 40 MPH super-sideways drifts in my GS-R sedan, with snow billowing OVER the car...heh. that rocked. Can't wait to rotate the R some this winter...who needs a hachi-roku?!

 

we get to take YOUR R this year ***...

D

 

haha LOL

 

Hey I dont have an ITR but hell yeah 7 springs is a blast. I love winter, granted my car is an AWD sedan its still fun. I have a blast messing around in emty parking lots at 7 springs, its even more fun when i have peple in the car that don't know me well and I slide it out, they get scared, i laugh.

AWD + 4 blizzaks =traction
ICE=none
