6G Celicas Forums

How's everyone and their celi dealing with the deep freeze we have going across the states?
Hopefully your cars start and you stay warm.

Ya it's like this




already slid into the curb and busted 2 wheel bearings , I need a tauntuan to ride in the winter

Celica is in hibernation while i finish my full LED conversion. Ordered more LEDs yesterday and waiting for them to come in the mail. Starts up without a hiccup though in the cold. To be on the safe side i filled it up with premium and Heet.
Have you packed yours away cheela?

That's cute it's been getting to -50℃ some nights here. And haven't had any problems starting the car yet

Another reason why I love Cali. Lol.

the only reason I love CALI, otherwise this state effing sucks!!!!

nice. glad you got urs put away.
yeah, mines sleeping too.
totally forgot about heet though. might have to go pick some of that up.

We had temperatures hovering between -2 and 0 yesterday and wind chill on top of that. The Celica almost didn't want to start. Almost. Toyota > Mother Nature.

the colder the cold duralast! built to last, duralast!

i was a really glad i was leaving chicago to come back home to texas cause i thought it would be warm and i could work on the car. but the windchill here was 10degrees . and it warms up to 70 right about the time i gotta leave.

and the pipes in my house froze, just the pipe that feeds the hot water supply. so when it thaws i expect flood....

I kinda miss my annual trips back home to Ontario for Xmas/New Years where the first thing after dropping my bags, I'd take either my mom's Tercel or my dad's Oldsmobile and drive around the winter wonderland for an hour going 10km/h due to all the snow.

They just moved to the west coast so I won't be doing much of that anymore. Enjoy the snow while you can! XD

Turn off the main water valve that shuts off the whole house!
look for the wet spot in the sheetrock and rip it out. you should find the copper pipe inside and feel along it till you find the spot where it swelled and split.
get one of these sharkbite slip couplings (dude who made these is a genius), just cut out 2-3" section where its bad and you slide one end of this slip coupling down
and then slide it back over the other side using the release tool.
then worry about fixing the sheetrock later.

Thats considered cold?
My home town has been minus 50 celsuis as of late.

Winnipeg, where it's colder than Mars

lol. I don't know how you Canadians do it.

I moved to Whistler BC a week ago for the winter.
The morning I left it was minus 50 celsius. The day I got here it was minus 1 celsius.
I'm still asking myself how I did it haha

And then over here in 'straya we just went through almost 50 degrees >.<
Was 47.9C (118.22F) the other day, with 85% humidity...

yep, south hemisphere is even closer to the sun in summer than we are, and even farther away from the sun during winter.

...and we still have nimrods here who say "it's really cold here today so Climate Change must be a hoax."
/sigh

it hit 15 degrees the other day, I was tempted to throw some shorts and tshirt on and go outside.
