So winter is almost upon us and it's just about time to start "winterizing" the Celica. Just wondering what I should do in terms of preparing it for the brutal winter? Other than winter tires what else is important? Oil change or anything? Should I swap out my carbon fiber hood for the winter or is it not too big of a deal? Thanks!

To help you preserve your car you can:
-Rustproof -Wash it from time to time to remove the salt -Buy rubber mats to avoid spilling calcium on the carpet A remote starter is always handy

I assume you have to wire into the clutch somehow? -------------------- 2007 Impreza 2.5i - Daily
