winter mode can suck my nutsack
 

well, for the past 3 hours i have been gettinmy car ready for winter. that means puttin the stock front bumper back on, takin off the side skirts, and replacing a dented driver's side fender with a new one. all that and i still gotta get the rear lip and rims off. what a pain in the ass. ill have some pics later.

ewwww your cars gonna look stock

yeah :(

ewww stock. put the turbo on for shits and giggles. lol

That sucks... at least your soon-to-have turbo will appreciate the cool air.

i was thinking about going back to stock suspension for the winter.. but yea, i will be taking my rims off too.

:( Winter..

im doin that durin my Thanksgiving Break

ahh... gotta love Texas... winter is just a less hot version of summer.

Just like AZ, we might get 5 or 6 days of rain in the winter. Only gotta worry about CAI sucking water, since it never rains, water doesnt run, it sits in bug puddles. Yesterday sucked for driving. No changing car for winter though, gotta love it. Im actually lowering my car this week.

youre taking the damaged fender off for the winter? why? id leave it on there in case you get in another fender bender.....hmm....weird...anyway, leave it on in case of bad snow conditions.

the joys of living in climates where it doesn't snow :D

but seriously...i feel bad for you guys that have to go through this every winter, and then put it back on in spring...

yeah, for real. I would hate to have to get my car ready for winter every year. I would probably build around the weather of where I live. if it snowed, I wouldnt lower my car much, just get big rims. Than I would only have to change out the wheels for winter. No CAI, just short ram, stuff like that.

^^ But if you do that, then the car looks all gaudy and out of place in the spring/summer/autumn.

car is sleeping since monday....@ my boys house...cant drive my baby in winter

agreed!

Im bout to put my studly studs back on :shrug:

Post some pics Abmerop!!!!

ahh... gotta love Texas... winter is just a less hot version of summer.

LOL same here in Louisiana... it may get cold here for like a month and not that cold either

When its like 50 degress here...thats like really cold for me...

lol it's still 85-90 degree's during the day here.. and it will be until late November.. :rofl:

Thank god for sub-tropical climates! :sweet:

bastage

ill have pics today when i finish it all up

did you have to put those pins back that are holding the stock bumper.

oh god, i kno how u feel! i took all my stuff off last year (full LIP kit- pain in the ass, and wheels). This year I think I'm gonna try to leave it all on, is it really that bad for the car? I mean- the kit is painted plastic, just like the OEM bumpers that survive the winter, As for the rims- there are plenty of cars out there these days with oem 17" rims- they survive, cant mine? i never got around to waxin my car this fall :-/. My other option is to fix up my dads 91 colt and use that as a winter car (but its not too reliable, and quite dangerous without airbags or power steering, etc). Bah. I'll prolly just wait till snow hits, then i will be forced to take action. king of procrastination here.

i don't want to sound rude, but dude cmon now its only a civic.
people out there are driving their mercedes, bmw, and corvettes out there in the snow. but then again, those are probably leases, unlike ours. i hate to see people beat up their cars which is twice worth of my car. hell i take care of my car as much as my life LOL. so in some point i can relate.

even thou i don't want to, i may have to use my car all year long. i love my civic, i'll use it to a point that i can get the full use outa it and get warm up driving it all the time. so when the time comes to trade in, you can honestly say that you had the best out of your vic, you catch my drift??? hopefully i can get a higher class ride later, but for now, sall about my civic.

guess the people in the south dosent have to worry about the snow, and winter mode

muahahah i finally waxed it today! yay only took 3.5 hours. 1 hour to clean body, 1.5 hours on wheels, 1 hour waxn.

it sucked.

i don't do anything to get ready for winter.. i'll just rip thru the snow with my lip kit, let my wheels fight off the salt.. it's just a car.. it'll live. lol..

HAHAHAHAHA yer gunna look like me
:(
i am promise i will get rims in the spring.. i swear i swear i swear

thats the one thing i like about new england in the winter.. i get to pretend i took really nice rims and a hot body kit off so i dont kill it in the snow...
