Winter isn't as much fun; can't wait till the weather warms back up and I can get back to playing with my car.

I have a couple of things planned for spring, but I'm leaving the car as is for the winter.

Ditto

While winter tires are safer, they are not as much fun... Also, I hate warming up the car for 4-5 minutes every morning and evening - else it bogs something fierce in second gear...

but atleast when it snows... you can have fun w/the evo. I know I do. I think it's a waste to put it in storage.

No doubt. When the Evo is completely sideways, it's about as controllable as some cars are going straight. Lots of fun!

I haven't put in either cams or the gears yet. I'm planning on buying some cams before summer, though. As for my coilovers, they are still in the car. I will be taking them out in a week or two, though. I'm probably going to be sending them to RRE for some different springs and set-up. The standard JIC set-up is just a bit too stiff for the day-to-day here.

Of course if someone offered me a decent price for them I might just sell them and get some new ones from RRE...
