I had my car undercoated about 2 weeks ago. less than 5 days before our actual permanent snowfall began. i have on all season tires with a good amount of tread on them. i have my block heater plugged in when i'm at work but not at home (my parents say it's a waste of electricity and tell me to just warm-up the car earlier). i also have a mini heater that keeps the interior warm when i have the block heater plugged in too. i wash the car including the underbody and wheel wells every 5 days or so.
but what else can i do to keep the celica well maintained for the snowy and slippery streets? any suggestions? here are some pics of the undercoat:        This post has been edited by azian_advanced: Nov 4, 2007 - 12:39 AM -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

hmm ya never seen that done before. doesnt sound like a bad idea. i just try not to drive after they salt the roads, and since i hate washing my car in the cold, i just pay up and go to an automatic car wash that sprays the underside.
i wouldnt do that to my car though, if i were you i woulda just bought a beater for cheap and garage the celi. wonder how much weight that added.

And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
