Questions for winter driving

I may not be driving my evo everyday this winter but i'll be sure to have it out a few nice days. One thing I was thinking about was that my car was tuned at about 75 degrees. I dont have a wideband yet so I wont be able to monitor AFRs. Do any of the guys who drive year round have any issues driving in colder weather? I'm in michigan so 0-10 degrees is never out of the question.

Sounds good. I know it runs a little rich as it is now so it should perk up a bit.

You can move to a warmer state but really with the cold dense air they run really well!

As long as you don't dip into the extreme negatives, just enjoy the hell out of it. Turbo's love the cold air, but engines aren't really the biggest fan. Shouldn't really be an issue unless you're planning on taking a trip to Alaska or something though...which I totally want to do this winter with the Evo.

It's been getting cold here at night and early morning (~30) and my car love it. Just make sure you let the engine warm up before diving.
Also, my ACD works all the time now that it's cold out lol.
