The weather channel is mentioning snow, but the emergency service radio channel (what the DOT salt trucks and emergency personnel monitor) is calling for a foot of snow between 6 am and sundown tomorrow. I'm pretty psyched, we haven't had snow like that in a decade.
-
After last week's storm, all I gotta say is
Fuck snow. First time the University canceled classes in 18 years.
-
Had snow here for about a week now.
AWD is some fun stuff.

Here, even if there's 10 feet of snow, University remains open. Only thing they do is change the time of the exam. If it was 9h30, they change it to 10h30.

I went to the snow last week. yes it snows in california
-
Did someone say 8 ball?
-
I'm jealous, I'd love to see fl get foot of snow. We'd have to go sledding down the landfills O0
-
it was in the 60s most of the day down here. felt great.
-
not gonna get shit in b.springs
-
We were supposed top get snow about a week ago. Didn't get jack not even a flurry. Then the other day it was supposed to be in the low 50's high and busted out a random 70* day.

same here in blacksburg. going to be below freezing all week to so i can't wait to go to work and drive a bus with 1000+ ft. lbs around town.
you probably didn't notice the tires on my suburban, but they aren't snow rated right now. hell they aren't even inspection rated right now. but 4wd and the rear locker make up for it, except for turns and stopping.
-
I hate snow.
You have a truck on 42's how can you hate snow?

I agree that having a 4x4 would help me to not hate winter. Integra are too low and not heavy enough to work well in the snow.

I'm pretty sure my dumped 2wd Chevy is worse in the snow, but I'm not complaining.

Slow time of the year, and I guess even though I have high sales I'm not worth keeping around >:(
-
global warming
-
honda+studdable snow tires= winter time fun driving :-*
-
Now I run more on 3 winter tires and 1 spare. The other is leaking by the valve. I need to change it.
I only drive my car once a week so I don't really care lol

only part i see weird is they fired flick and made graham take all 3 of the fired jobs

not gonna get shit in b.springs
We've got 3-4 inches and it's still coming down. Further, Wes' turbo 1.7 RT4WD wagon is was fired up day before yesterday on a basemap. If you can make it up I can provide some turbocharged AWD doughnuts in the middle of 25-70 while bouncing off of guardrails, intermixed with some sledding, same as Robb and I did last year only with a turbo 1.7 throw into the mix.
-
i wish i had a RT4WD wagon. Found two wagons one auto and one manual both FWD.. Those arent fun in the snow.
Snow report for me is 4-8in starting sometime tonight. My sister said 8-12 and I laughed at here.

And harry picked up that sweet $300 awd camry yesterday. Yessir, its gonna be fun.
Minor, Wes doesnt post on RHMT because of his temper, he doesnt fight on the internet, he just gets pissed off and hunts ppl down to beat the crap out of them.
-
I asked Wes about pictures to make a build thread with, and he said he didn't give a shit about impressing French-Canadians. Sorry.

I''m not french canadian, so fuck you.
Make a build thread for him. I just wanna know what the motor combo is and how it worked out.

Z6, D17 crank and oil pump, early LS crank pulley, Eagles, Vitaras, the updated ~.052" four layer MLS headgasket that replaces the shitty composite ones for the 88-91 D16, works out to 8.3 or 8.5:1. Has a china big 16G, super mario brothers pipe manifold made out of the cast joints that join black iron pipe as found at Lowes or Homeboy Depot, retains AC, runs either cheapass 13" shit rims or some 16" factory alloys off of the Sport package Fit. Also, RT4WD.
-
Fuck I want it.
Any issues with the RT4WD yet?
-
i dont have my studded tires on yet, ohs noes.
-
He got the wagon with a couple of fucked up partially chewed gears, fixed that and drove it for a while. It's had maybe 3500 miles of life turbocharged, he has launched it a number of times but so far so good. The gearbox is some odd double countershaft unit that is obviously not as strong as the normal gearboxes, but he has spares and doesn't give a shit.
-
do you weld the driveshaft on the wagons for better traction?
-
we've gotten some snow up here:

General Altimax Arctics are the shit. Pretty cheap too.
-
Update, 6 inches in the back yard. I got off work at 11, and I'm drunk as of 1pm, so I'm thinking about a bonfire later.
-
Snow Wagon vids stat!

Fuck what everyone else wants. Blizzard of '09 FTW!

5" here at the shop, 6" in my backyard.
-
It's warm here and all the snow is melting, I want it to stay like this :-\
-
Up to 6"

Had snow here for about a week now.
AWD is some fun stuff.
Funny thing is awd vw/audi/subies are the most common to be pulled from ditches because ppl think awd is god's solution for snow. Smaller civics are actually decent in snow if you know what you're doing. Done right, you don't have to turn the wheel more than 45*.
We've had a foot on the ground for almost a month now. Only thing I like snow for is pushing drunk friends into it.
I can provide some turbocharged AWD doughnuts in the middle of 25-70 while bouncing off of guardrails
BTW JD since when did you need snow to bounce EF's off guard rails??

Are you on crack cocaine? I have never owned an EF, ridden in an EF, or even seen an EF in real life. Further, I have no fascination with the EF chassis, whatsoever, and what that has to do with an AWD Civic wagon IDK.

BROADCASTING LIVE FROM MY BACKYARD (thanks Robb)

Uh oh. JD hates the JDM hype chassis code. I'm sure he has nothing against an ED or EC though.
-
Well then I apploligize. But.
What was that blue thing he spun out on the freeway with half a bald tire this summer? A colt? I can't sort through your 233 pages of posts to recall anything.
-
238 pages of posts when i last checked two days ago.
Old blue was an ED chassis, and it was on I-40. Wes owns the wagon, and it bounces nicely - unlike old blue.
-
Wait you're arguing symantics? We have to go to Honda-tech to do that bro.
If you want me to say ED instead of EF, I understand having owned 2 sedans. So lemme get this straight, you're saying you had ED?
-
I have had one ED, and currently own another.
-
When did you get ED? Have you talked to a doctor about it? :evil:
That's why I just said EF in the past, or 4thgen. "ED3 what?"
-
So lemme get this straight, you're saying you had ED?
I have had one ED, and currently own another.
Er. You missed it. He said you had ED...
-
I got ED after seeing your mother naked. I have not spoken to anyone about it, as the subject reduces me to tears.
-

Thanks, glad I'm not the only one who sees it as such. JD I happily await the day you hardcore rip into me, I just hope I survive. :mexi:

I live in Canada, where it snows 6 months of the year and I will say that light cars in general are garbage in the snow.
AWD is great, it doesn't make you handle any better or most importantly stop any better, it's just more fun.

Cool, we just got power back. Did everyone miss me??

WHO'S READY FOR ROUND 2?

Lassen??? Or you go up the hill... I always loved rallying up 20 in a good snow in the old Turbo GL-10...
-
Holy shit, we have snow today for the third time this winter :o
Everything is closed and Domino's won't deliver, of course.

Robb made it up the driveway. I didn't think it was gonna happen.
-
We have had a lack of snow here in Toronto , which is good considering I had to take the SiR out of storage and it's rocking a set of Azensis on the Wear bars.
yee fuckin haww..
Canada = Fail

Dont underestimate the Colt sucka. The vw is gonna be a different story though...

We got about 6-8" here in Buffalo/Niagara Falls, nothing to really talk about

TN takes a hell of a lot better care of the roads then NC when this shit happens.
Crossed the line yesterday and it was night and day difference.
Traction control on the GC FTMFW.
