Thanks sir!

 

have always stored mine over winter...and no rust issues yet!!

 

< buys his balt to drive in the winter.
lol

obv summer dd aswell, but this thing handles amazing in snow with the tires i got on it.

 

Crawl underneath it and look at the unibody and rear beam. I guarantee it there, unless you frequently wash and flush the underside of your car.


Everything I do has already been mentioned, inflate the tires to 36 PSI, battery tender, blocking off the intake inlet and exhaust tip

 

Snobalt is snow hero! I've driven mine ~365 for the last 4 years and 85,000mi, no reason to stop now. We only see a couple days of snow and they use antifreeze on the roads instead of salt.

For tire pressure you should never exceed the stamping on the side of the tire (usually 40-50psi). But I'd personally put it up on stands, isn't going to hurt the suspension having it all the way out for a few months.
Off topic: She's totally going to install those skinny ass tires on that 6 series

 

Nothing really there. I make sure it gets underwashed a couple times during the winter and then once the salt is all gone.

 

I'll admit, they are great in the snow.

One October we had a freak snow storm that dropped 4" over night (didnt even know about it). Had to suck it up, and drive the car to work. Not one slide or slip from her.

Thankfully, I had all seasons at the time.

 

Yea man. I drove to a funeral last winter 45 min down the highway in a white out. People were driving 40km/h on the highway, i was doing 70-80km with ease... Than down what was a dirt road, snow was rolling over my hood it was so deep and it crawled through, backed up in the drive way and got moving agIn like a dream. By far the best handling car Ive ever driven in our canadian winters

 

i usually rust check my car before winter storage, fill up full of gas / stabilizer, remove my meth kit, and disconnect battery, thats it. goes in cold storage, once the doors are locked they dont open until may/june.

 

Everyone is saying they fill up for the winter. If you run E I'd say do the opposite

 

2nd this.. lots of helpful tips as this is the first winter storing my car as well

 

im curious on this. i know has like a 3 month life span. michigan winters are longer then that

 

Meh when my car was blown up it was down for 6 months with half a tank. I never drained it but I'm not saying it was good

 

Bottle or two of gasline antifreeze or something of that sort. High octane fuel booster should work

 

second year storing my car

fill the tank and put stabilizer in

wash the car, take the wheels off and wash them

i over inflate the tires to 40psi and park it on carpet, also i make sure there is carpet under the whole car (helps soak up any moisture)

plug the battery tender in ( i have the cord running out of my trunk so no need to take the battery out)

cover the car up with my car cover

(maybe start it once or twice during the winter)

then wait till may ish to get it back out!

 

I let E85 sit for 2-3 months then pumped it out and gave it to a buddy...worked just fine.

 

i dont mind to drive it in the winter, i mean it IS a car and made to handle well all weather.. but to be honest i just dont like the ABS in the snow... seeing how i've never had a car with ABS its a new thing to me and in the snow yeah i dont like it hah

chances are it'll sit in a garage, no sta-bil, nothing special i'll just either go start it and let it warm up x times a week or i'll have the person who's garage it is do it... but i do hope its a mild snow winter that'd be best

 

lul if you engage abs you would have slid into the person in front of you without it anyway. Its driving technique not the cars fault.

I usually change oil within 3000km of parking
fill tank
disconnect battery
I start it every two weeks and do slow laps around the alley until its warmed up then let it idle for a few mins before parking it.

 

not true, well sightly true..... I'm just not used to ABS that could be it, but I've never had Assn issue with sliding in my cars without it

Everyone hear is saying over inflate the tires to somewhere between 36-40 psi. I run my tires normally at 45 psi on my LNF. Should I over inflate them anymore if I am going to put the car in storage?

 

Uh, you might want to check your tires. 45 psi might already be over the max rated psi of your tires . Why do you run them so high? How do you even get traction like that?

 

My max is 50 psi so I'm damn close lol

 

To answer your question then, no 45 psi is plenty to store it and not really have to worry about flat spots in the tires. I would still move the car a foot forward or backward once in a while just to be sure. That's what I do.

 

45 psi cold tire pressure?!? Wayyy too much.

Check the inside of your door sill for the correct cold tire pressure.

Should be 32 psi.

 

I love when people read the max PSI and just fill them close that that...
