the trick for the manual is buy an lsd. my fit does fine but it seems too light weight for any good snow traction. plus the low factor doesnt help so i get caught alot.

 

what's lsd?

 

You can still rock the manual you just have to be quick with the gears. I do it just fine.

LSD = Limited Slip Differential

 

it makes both wheels spin equally instead of one just loosing traction.

 

i wish i have the money to invest into the LSD...i wanted one for a long time, but i am saving it for the Spoon N1 for now...LSD will be my long term investment..hehe

 

mfactory in bellingham has a good deal on them. its helical and cheaper than spoon and j and quaife.

 

... so all the snow is pretty much melted here. We had a rainstorm and it got up to 55 yesterday.....

We also had tornado warnings about an hour south of me...


Tornadoes in December weird....

 

the snow is finally gone here too in WA. tornadoes....whats that like??

 

um i still got 2 feet what are you talking about.

 

We had a tornado last January. It is pretty weird because I live right on Lake Michigan so I have never seen a tornado actually come into the city because the high and low pressure changes when approaching the lake so that usually keeps them away. So it was really weird that we had the first tornado that actually hit the city in like 20+ years and it was in January.

 

okay okay okay, WESTERN washington snow is non existant :P

 

Yeah I am currently getting another 10 inches so all you coastal people.................................I don't wanna hear it

 

i still have wet slush in my yard.... and its raining out...

 

i did thought about gettin' spoon tho...but again, saving it up for investment of some other spoon products.

 

i know you have your heart set on owning a spoon fit but the spoon clutch type lsd is not ideal for daily driving.

 

So even with this ungodly amount of snow I have got the Honda Roadster itch again. I'm thinking I may be making a trip over the mountains to look at one once some of this snow melts. I've found about 5 so far that are under 12k with decent miles.........We'll see

 

going back to the ap1 huh? you gonna get rid of the fit?

 

ooh that AP1 itch is hard to resist...it took me so long to convince myself that i have a baby and i cant afford roadster...

the spoon lsd i wanted is more of in the future when i put the FIT as a track car...so i dont drive it everyday, but the helical one you mentioned, i looked it up, it's very reasonable.

 

its built really strong too so less time spent repairing the woren out lsd internal clutches.

 

Nah, I'm gonna keep the Fit. When my wife and I sell our house I'm gonna look into one. We should be selling it to her uncle in late Spring.
