I daily drive a tubo b13.

Just an avenir motor, walbro, 300zx maf, mishimoto radiator, fmic, calum real time.

All of the metal gaskets on the turbo disentegrated. It has a coolant leak behind the thermostat housing. I also blew the tranny into a bunch of peices because I retardly wheel hopped it to death at the strip.

I will say, if it snows a lot, consider another daily on the side. I was barely moving today in packed snow, and I even have all season tires.

Though, part of the problem is the very light car, then light flywheel, then pulleys, then turbo. Turbo is last because I was out of boost .

I don't know about that Vadim, my NX is lighter and hauls ass in the snow. The only cars that can keep up are 4x4 small jeeps and AWD turbo cars. You might try snow tires or narrower tires and some weight reduction

That's on my Christmas list: Snow tires for NX wheels. I don't care how ugly the wheels look, I just want some awesome winter traction

Yeah they are ugly :o but if traction is what you want you won't be disappointed

Not sure man, I'm running 912's, maybe they are just not too great in the snow?

I mean I could have been going faster, but I still don't feel comfortable enough (from the last crash), hehe.
