Maintaining Your 240sx During Winter

Your car covered in snow.If your car isnt on the driveway like mine then watch your step & wear sneakers you dont care about.Take your toolWipe as so..Starting on top & working your way downBe careful of attatched objects such as the rear wiperNext you need to remove the snow under the wing, if you have oneTake your glovesAnd pull the snow out as so..Dont forget the backThis will help prevent moisture from building up under the wing and causing rust.Also check under the car for leaves/grass etc that has built up, I had nuts and animals building a small hill up into my engine bay.You COULD keep your windshield covered to prevent dask crackingOR use a target bag like I didCheck your tires as well, you do NOT want your car to be sitting on a flat/directly on the wheel all winter.This one was okThis one tooThis one is NOT ok! Filled her up to 34 psi right away.CLEAN!

You should do this as often during the winter months as possible if your car is outside & not on a solid surface. Also, I have a carbon fiber hood so I make sure to at least wipe that off because you dont want all the weight from the snow weighing it down. You can get very detailed and wipe 100% of the snow off the car, and cleaning out under the windshield wipers is a good idea as well

Trust me Ghast its not worth it, snow is fun in December. After that I could KILL someone dealing with all the rust, salt-messing up my shoes & jeans, trudging through the snow/slush every day to get to class. Im mad thinking about it lolTropics next year

I was expecting some DIY rust proofing, or something like that...

This...let's just say I lol'd in disappointment =P

Post by **hbpignosePA** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 10:03 am

duh

Post by **numbnuts240** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 10:08 am

talk about rusting thats a great way to end up with alot more headaches than it will be worth

Post by **Flicktitty** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 10:56 am

Post by **B-Radx240x** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 11:16 am

Hahaha this thread is great, funny, yet may be helpful to noobs. I laughed pretty good

Post by **S13Joe** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 12:56 pm

oh god...

this shouldn't even be for noobs or anything, wouldn't you consider it common sense to just wipe the snow off of your car? I got a better "write up"

1.Go buy a car cover if you dont have a garage2.Use it.

title please:*** Clown.

LMAO

man, i havent seen a decent thread in a while, its always swap this or that, stupid **** they will never do, etc... it must be the magazines or something.

The reason I didnt buy a car cover is because moisture builds up underneath and causes rust anyway . This way at least I'm cleaning some of it off, like I said it was meant to be funny.

Sense of humor: Lost

Sure it wasn't that funny, it was cheeky if anything else, but at least its not like some of the head-up-the-a$$ threads I see in 240 chat on a regular basis.
