Winterizing
 
So its the second day of december, and its probably time for me to winterize it.
What all needs done

Track 12-02-2011 02:11 PM

cryofreeze.

Nada. At least I never have. Run it like a raped ape in the spring to blow out the dust and call it good. I'd advise running the tank as dry as possible.

RedTurboMiata 12-02-2011 10:27 PM

its gotta sit outside for most of winter. so anything special in that department

jared8783 12-03-2011 09:57 PM

do you intend on driving it in the snow or is it just going to be sitting outside?

RedTurboMiata 12-04-2011 12:03 AM

sitting outside, well not for about 3 weeks.

I'd say fill the tank, and put the battery inside. If you get alot of snow cover it.

well winterizing became less of a priority, i now have the garage for a month or so. My dad took out a deer with his DD.

I topped the tank up to about 90% full, put in the proper ratio of Sta-Bil, went for ~ 5 mile loop around the neighborhood to circulate it through the lines, etc. Then parked it, cleaned it up, put it up in the air and sat it on Race Ramps (specifically, their curved-top show/maintenance 8" tall blocks) and put a cover on it. Also removed the battery and took it inside along with the EHP summer tires to store in the basement.

Until March or so :sadwavey:

i dont think i would make it to far in the snow with mine. turbo spools at 3000rpm, hit some ice and be in trouble.
I have a winter vehicle anyway, the first vehicle i've ever owned.
4.0 V6, 4x4, 5 Speed
