Crazy! I'd be too scared to winter drive mine, good winter tires I guess! I just picked up a winter car for just under 4!

Saw some JDM ones on ebay. You could also buy a better quality tow hook and have it powder coated to color of your choice

Good point! Probably the best idea.

What brand would you recommend?

Also I heard there is a toe hook with a gopro mount built in? Is that true?

Yes I saw that somewhere too, just can't remember where.

I have a pair of Cusco tow hooks available if your interested. Great quality tow hook, just need to be painted

Ordered myself some whiteline parts, very simple stuff. Camber bolts and rear positive shifter bushing.

The winter parts collection starts now

Cusco are very good quality, just got my rear one installed, luckly I made the hole the perfect size so theres no gaps in it. And my god do these cars fare well in the winter, Cuts through snow quite well, clearance isnt even that bad, even with my 16" wheels, havent installed my rally armours yet but snow build up with the smaller tires is also very managable. at this point its only other cars i'm worried about! btw im using Bridgestone Bilzzaks, very noticeable difference!

Yeah those stock tires would be useless in the snow I'm sure

Glad to hear someone else is enjoying it too! Today is a big day weather wise as well. I was checking our area's weather GFA this morning and a 105.2kPa high pressure system is moving through. With the -23C temperatures today we should see around 15% more engine output vs. an average summer day here at our altitude. Too bad it's almost impossible to put that power down...

Hey guys. Want some awesome wheels?

Brand new Matte Metallic Red Forgestar F14's in 18x9.5 +38. Awesome fit on our cars.



Image is for reference. Wheel on the right has same profile.

New in box and ready to rock with centercaps. Maybe I will throw in a nice set of Muteki SR48 lug nuts from our shop.

$2000
