***Winterized FT86***

Last night I took a few shots of my winter setup. What's yours?!

Awesome. I thought you took the car, and hibernate it through winter. This is way un-expected of the title.

Very good one. How is it driving in the winter ?

Drives surprisingly well once you learn to be lighter on the throttle. Took it on some back trials with about a foot of snow and plowed through it with ease. It is very tail happy even with TC and SC on but its controllable and extremely fun!

I just put on some all-season 205/16 cheap kumo tires. I need to be about to get around in snow, though I don't plan on romping dealing with it a bunch so I could not justify winter tires. Here's my set up doe (rims were $90 off craigslist and I painted them).

Also my winter set up is the same as my summer set up.
