What do you guys do for winter? Do you garage your DSM? Adjust your springs, throw your stock wheels/tires back on? Turn down the boost? I've never really had a running DSM during winter. Last winter my black car had a blown transmission because I kept shattering clutches.

Here's a picture I took today, I adjusted the coil overs back to stock ride height... Can't say I put my stock tires back on, I dont have any otheres LOL...

AWD... definitely be driving it daily in the winter. :)

I probably won't do anything special. Car is already a POS.
 
I have always garaged mine. Of course, it was a GST. I now have a GSX sitting in the garage w/ tranny and motor next to it. If I can get it running sometime soon, I'm driving that bi*** all winter long! Just keep the salt off it...
 
I never even drove any of my AWD's in the winter... I didn't have the 1st gens long enough, and the GSX... I owned that when I was a stupid kid fresh in HS... I got my black 98 in January of 06 and we didn't have much of a winter then, so pretty much it just got muddy.

I just put snow tires on it. It really doesnt see much driving in the winter though. Thats why i have my jeep!
 
My laser is going in the back yard with the car cover over it. It's fwd, and has bald tires. Plus it's too rough in the winter trying to drive it.
