You know it's cold when...

Post by Legacy777 »

I was doing a u-turn last night, and juiced it as I came around the other direction and the whole car got sideways. It was pretty cool :)

Performance tires suck when it get's cold.

You ARE bored aren't you? :lol:

You could just get regular M+S tires and get it sideways regardless of road conditions or outside temperature :D

My transmission's definitely happier after a few miles driving, but my 260Z wouldn't even go into 2nd until it was warm.

Hmm, my dino gear oil is actually more willing to work with the synchros when it's cold... :?

Yeah the RE92's have the major suck.

The colder temps are definitely better for the synchros until. However it get's cranky again once things warm up.
