Is your car ready for the coming cold nights and mornings?

There's nothing to make it ready. It just werks.

Hardly counts. You put a cup in. But, okay, granted. Isn't even necessary here, though...

Well, the engine heater is working, glow plugs are fine, batteries will be replaced (13 years old), and I'm getting new winter tires

>>15893238
I fucking love photos like this.

Thank you for posting it.

>>15893169
Yes, because I haven't ruined it with cold air/floodwater intakes and stupid low suspension.

>>15893169
Have a manual trans SF5 Forester in Colorado, new General Altimax Arctics ready to mount as soon as it starts snowing, with 50/50 torque split the thing should be a fucking snow tank

Full synth 5w30 as usual will be fine for winter (make sure you've got the right weight in your car friendos)

New NGK plugs and wires coming in the mail

Heater is god tier, no heated seats but cloth so idgaf

I'd say I'm good to go as long as the thing doesn't shit out on me, first winter with a manual Sube should be fun, they have a much much better AWD system than the auto cars

Regardless should be an improvement over the '97 Chrysler LHS on bald all seasons I had last winter, Jesus I wasn't sure I would make it out alive

I've got plenty

>>15893507
The previous owner has taken good care of them. Regular charges, always used the engine heater during the winter

They might do fine another winter or two, but I don't want to find myself stuck with dead batteries one morning

>>15893169
no, I live in florida

>>15893169
If you mean 'is it ready for winter', the answer is no. I have to find the de-icer and the scraper and put them in a visible, accessible position, and I'll put the sub-zero screen wash in when it gets sub-zero. Not before.

>>15893169
It's a Honda, so Yes.

My Comanche doesn't have AC (working at least) and the heat is piss easy to make work if it doesn't, which it should. The only reason I keep my '13 Spark is because everything works. AC and heat come on fast and it's nice and toasty in the winter which never gets below 47.

So if by 'ready for winter' you mean have I swapped out the dead axle for a Dana 30 and thrown an NP243 in for the one day a year the roads freeze then no.

>>15893169
>average low in winter is 47 Farenheit
I think I'm fine

yup
bought brand new goodyear duratracs
bought a winter front grill cover
got the oil changed with fresh synthetic
stocked up on some diesel additive for anti-gelling (and extra lubricity)
thinking about getting it tuned, and having a 1450 rpm high idle setting added

I live in Edmonton. They don't get proper winters down here.

>CrazyFolksTribe
is that you

I need to find 50lb sacks of kitty litter to throw over the rear axle and a small snow shovel should I need it.

I'm probably going to install a remote starter soon because the engine is slow to heat up. Though, once warm, you will never want for more heat as the 5.4 will just dump tons of heat.

The car is already A/S (all season) ready with its normal OEM parts. All that remains is to add Rain-X antifog to the interior front windshield. The other windows are tinted, so Rain-X Antifog can't be used on them.

I normally use -20 windshield washer fluid even in the summer so no changes of fluid are needed. Nothing else in the car will freeze solid and that goes for the trunk. I'm not like those people who carry a gallon of water or household cleaner in the trunk cleaning kit. Chances are outdoor ice makes them freeze burst their container and make a mess.

Phoenix here, yes im ready for convertible and harley weather.

No. But my spare wheel has a winter tire of if shit's going down at least I'll have one wheel with grip. Shouldn't be a problem, I trained this in GTA so many times.

Pretty jelly of your sf5. I have an 08 outback 2.5 auto. X3 Michelin tires on steel. Limited slip rear but open front dif. Regardless it also tanks through snow or commuter slush. Synthetic oil in difs, pennzoil platinum 5w30. Will try pennzoil ultra over winter to see if it resolves piston slap. Car burns ~1qt every 4months.

We are expecting a lot of snow this winter versus he past couple.
