I had my car undercoated about 2 weeks ago. less than 5 days before our actual permanent snowfall began. i have on all season tires with a good amount of tread on them. i have my block heater plugged in when i'm at work but not at home (my parents say it's a waste of electricity and tell me to just warm-up the car earlier). i also have a mini heater that keeps the interior warm when i have the block heater plugged in too. i wash the car including the underbody and wheel wells every 5 days or so.
but what else can i do to keep the celica well maintained for the snowy and slippery streets? any suggestions? here are some pics of the undercoat: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by azian_advanced: Nov 4, 2007 - 12:39 AM -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

I think you're overkilling with the block heater etc, especially the interior heater. just tough it out for the 2 minutes that it takes the car to warm up lol. My car sits out in the parking lot all the time, always cold, have to scrape the snow and ice off of it. I would say for winter change to a 5w30 oil, and just be ready for the worst snow. Maybe some snow tires depending on how bad the weather gets?
