Re: I want snow!

Re: I want snow!
 

+1 for snowmobiling!

Re: I want snow!
 

Im trying to plan a 7 hour trip this year on the Taconite trail near big fork, but i dont want to plan anything until there is snow on the ground and staying on the ground.

Re: I want snow!
 

My audi wants snow! torsen lsd + awd + heavy ass car = fun in the snow!

Re: I want snow!
 

I think this may be the first year I'm not looking forward to snow

Re: I want snow!
 

My Arctic cat is ready to rip some shit up!! Big fork I snowmobile up there bein Im from Grand Rapids. Its not bad up there...

Re: I want snow!
 

heck yes. Kinda wondering when I can make my Snowman army.

Re: I want snow!
 

x2 on that. I wont get to enjoy it till February tho.

Re: I want snow!
 

Hell yes!! I'm looking forward to trying out my new Firestone Winterforces in the subie!!!

Re: I want snow!
 

You all can go to hell. The longer the snow stays away the happier I am. haha





Though the occasional parking lot doughnut is fun.

Re: I want snow!
 

RWD is going to be a blast in the snow.

Re: I want snow!
 

We drive through grand rapids on our way to my parents. We are heading up there for turkey day this year, and then as much as i can when it finally snows. We live on Long Lake off of scenic 7.

Re: I want snow!
 

I'm not looking forward to snow this winter. Mainly, because my parents make me clear the whole driveway, with a shovel.

Snowblowers are too high tech!

Do it the old fashioned way!

Re: I want snow!
 

You'll love it. Drifting around every corner when there's any snow or ice at all is awesome.

Re: I want snow!
 

I will be in Grand Rapids for Turkey day! Ya i usually 4 wheel scenic 7 in the summer! If you wanna meet up maybe get a beer or something pm me!

Re: I want snow!
 

I havent even put snow tires on the audi yet, its way too warm. Im excited for awd again though.

The snowmobile still needs some winter prep but its almost there! Ill post a thread about what ive been doing soon.

Re: I want snow!
 

mmmhhhmmmm. Wait till there's 8 inches on the roads and you're 9's in the back are trying to steam roll the snow instead of cut through it. Unless you got skinny snow tires. But only real men use high performance summer tires in the snow.

Re: I want snow!
 

Haha! Yea in deep snow I hated RWD. Slick roads and a couple inches was fun. My snow tires werent nearly as grippy as andrews, but his caddy was way heavier than the M3. Awd is more fun in the snow imo.

Re: I want snow!
 

I'm putting my altimax arctic's on this weekend and then bring it on! I got a set for anna's GLI too, so it will get plenty of snow duty as well :D

Mostly, I'm excited to try out my new Volkls:

Hope to do another 8-day bender in March, if you wanna come let me know asap!

Re: I want snow!
 

I'm excited too. I love snow, but I hate the cold, so here's to hoping for a mild winter with tons of snow.

Re: I want snow!
 

fuck the snow it can stay like this all winter. I want to drive the evo now that kevin and I got it running and working great last weekend

Re: I want snow!
 

Yep, stretched some 225 width Blizzak LM-25's on the rear wheels. I had 275s on for the summer, lol.

Re: I want snow!
 

The snow tires I ended up picking up are a little wider than I originally planned on, but the way I look at it, the larger contact patch should help me out when the roads are just icy, without much snow. I had originally planned on getting some 205/50's to put on a set of wheels I already have, but ended up with some 235/45's that came with wheels for about the same price as the tires alone would have been.

Re: I want snow!
 

I finally ended up getting a set of snow/all seasons for this winter and I cant wait to try them. I picked up a set of Nokian wrg2's a couple weeks ago. Supposedly they can be run all year but im keeping them just for winter. The kumhos will stay on till it snows.

Last year I didn't drive much since I didn't have a job and the car wasnt 100% so Im pumped to put that AWD to work. I want to do a little lake drifting, hopefully the 5-0 will leave me alone while Im out there. Nothing to see here officers....

Re: I want snow!
 

I hear ya, I just got a new toy for the sled.

Re: I want snow!
 

Hmm..I don't have snow tires for the Audi, and don't plan on getting any.

Re: I want snow!
 

Looks cool, what does it do? What kind of sled(s) do you have?

We have a Polaris Super Sport 550, Polaris Indy, Polaris XCF, And a couple old sleds like a Ski-Doo Blizzard MX, Arctic Cat Jag, and a SUPER OLD ski-doo that i am going to try and get running this winter (it was my grandpas and is much older than i am). My uncles have a couple yamahas, a couple Arctic Cat Super Jags, and some older ones as well. All In all we have about 15 sleds up north.

Re: I want snow!
 

It's a new(to me) head for my 02 MXZ 700. It will be capping off my new pistons.
It should up the compression a bit and is much more efficient than the stock head.
Should add few horsey's!

Re: I want snow!
 

I put an aftermarket head on a Yamaha 700 jet ski that I had a few years ago and it really woke it up. I could only imagine what the pistons and head would do for you. Sounds like fun!

Re: I want snow!
 

My 800, is getting a wide bearing upgrade and some new pistons so I hope things just freeze up nicely for a few weeks before the snow flys. Need to have good ice on the lakes and rivers before the snow accumulates.

Also looking for a shorty seat to go on 800xc edge of mine.

It won't be long before I visit www.johndee.com 10 times a day checking out snow conditions! Can't wait to hit the cabin and UP this winter.

THINK SNOW!!!!!

Re: I want snow!
 

Dude, I've been watching johndee's forcast for a month now, where have you been? :D I LOVE that site.

My buddy jordan made a compilation/stripped version of his maps, and re-hosts them, you might like:

Re: I want snow!
 

Where did you get that? Does anyone know of any upgrades we can do for polaris snomobiles?

Re: I want snow!
 

I just bought some studded tires for my bicycle and some Nokian RSi's for my car, I've never had any vehicle with snow tires so I'm excited! plus I fixed the cardan joint in my jeep's front driveshaft

Re: I want snow!
 

I bought it off a guy parting out his sled. It's an RK Tek head. http://www.2strokeheads.com/ Apparently one of the better aftermarket heads out there.
There are plenty of upgrades out there for any type of sled. It surprising though what just proper clutching and gearing can do for a sled.

I like that! Mind if I use this? Don't want to burn up anyones bandwidth all winter. :)

Re: I want snow!
 

That is nice and simple but I really enjoy the Northern cam network where you can view all the different webcams to see actual conditions on his site.
