I need to get the trans back in mine so I can move it out of the garage.

coat it good and let it dry?
how many years has this worked for you?

I just put my snow tires on and we are supposed to get snow soon.

Yup, just let it dry. It's a wax-like coat that seals out water. This will be the second year I've used T-9. I also use it continually throughout the year to keep the coilovers working smooth.

just switch the oil to 0-30w. i have very short drives and the car doesnt warm up.

Got it, used it. It looks like it should work.

Awesome find! I was on another BC coilover thread and people were saddened by how poorly the BCs fair in northern weather. Nice to know someone found something that works.

Thanks.

Well everything's been said...except

-Lift your windshield wipers
and
-never use rubber mats, just vacuum the mats very well once a week.

Oh and winters in the front makes driving more fun
