probably too late in the season for me to make it out, don't know how long we're going to be snowless.

We usually do a winter beater meet. Meet for coffee where-ever and chat about whatever. Everyone drive whatever they are driving.

Its in the spirit of Rotary.

I took the Rx-7 out tonight in the snow to get some stuff. It accually hooks up better than the rover because of the tires are like new, and the tourque is nothing.

i know its sacrilige and a horrible thing to do to them.. but i actually look forward to drivin my 7's in the snow.. even though my fc chassis came from pick n pull i spose thats no reason to make it worse. Its like low impact drifting, a 7 with snow tires is second to none in the winter IMO.


Edit: But please for the love of the rotary, park those FDs and anything that isnt already rusted out cuz far as i know they dont make em anymore.

A Friend of mine drives an RX-8 as his 'Winter Beater'.

I have no choice but to drive my car from time to time. Its accually a great winter car. The distribution of weight and proper tires are key. Also, it helps that the thing throws so much heat as well.

I have to say, the most reliable car I've ever owned so far has been a bone stock 12A.

I've tried to replicate the carb setup in the form of an RB holley setup on an FC, but its just not the same.

whats nice about the winter sevens is that b/c the e-shaft doesn't slosh through the oilpan, they start REALLY easy. I always put a sand bag behind the passenger seat on the floor, really helped but this year it'll be parked for much work.
