The Beast I Drive Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Well, for the first time i finally get to play in the snow with the Beast. For the past 2 years since I lifted it during winter it has always been down for one reason or another, but this year it is up and running like a champ! On friday me and a few friends took it up into the hills above sunnyside and conquered some drifts, then I owned a steep snowy hillclimb that the others pussed out on Unfortunately there were no pics or video from that evening, but this afternoon me and my friend Trevor went out to the orchards and found the asphalt pads where the bins are normally loaded in the summer. It was a good day, The Beast got its legs stretched and Ive never had so much fun in a Honda Oh yeah, my buddy drives a '85 Prelude Anyway, Im waiting for my vids to upload, will add them soon. -Bill Edited December 22, 2008 by The Beast I Drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indrid cold Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Weeeenieee... you put your doors back on!!!.. Looks good and sounded like it was running well... I took my Hatch to the hills today (forgot camera)... my tow strap was in my son's Brat so I kept it on the road but nice to see all the snow..

The Beast I Drive Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Its been running great since i put the new motor in it, Hydro lifters FTW. And Im running a Weber now instead of the Ford 2bbl. I really considered takin off the doors, but only for about 2 seconds, then I said F**K that, its too cold! I have more vids uploading, one is me taking video out my friends sunroof, that wasnt warm I also got a hold of some vids of a little night time off roading we did about a month ago that I will post in the offroad section. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86HatchShelby Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 YOu guys really dont know how to drift, i gotta get a video up. First time my car was driven in a week, give me a break... Im not on ice either, thats just powder, wait till I find some ice. -Jaren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Psh, everyone's a critic when you have oversize tires with an underpowered motor -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 You know i find my subaru doing the same thing. I dont even think its underpowered. Show me someone doing that with a lsd rear end and well see if they cant whip the rump roast around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86HatchShelby Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Just kiddin man, its was ughhh a nice try. Is that all the snow you guys got down there? -Jaren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rear diff is welded, but we werent on ice, and I only have one CV in the back, so I can only drift goin left. Normally I can whip it around really good. -Jaren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Like i said, im having trouble getting it to break loose in ice or snow. Do you find your tires get chewed up with that welded diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I wanted to take out my RX but the heater dont work Oh, and i have open diffs , and there was no ice -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86HatchShelby Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Like i said, im having trouble getting it to break loose in ice or snow. Do you find your tires get chewed up with that welded diff. They do get chewed up a little, but you can always take an axle out. -Jaren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 See thats my point, youve got the right rear pushing and the left front pulling. Makes it hard to do any type of drifting and donughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86HatchShelby Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 See thats my point, youve got the right rear pushing and the left front pulling. Makes it hard to do any type of drifting and donughts. Go in reverse? When it starts snowin, just put the axle back in, I just havent had time. -Jaren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Wow, that thing really is a BEAST. Man I wish it would snow here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suberstar88 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Lol yea, i did some mobbin in my stock 88' wagon, got all the way up horse lake grade with about 9 inches of snow, and made it through spots of snow up to my doors, it was a blast! only got stuck once too lol.

The Beast I Drive Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I Think I will take my RX out there today, it snowed another 3-4 inches or so yesterday and its snowing right now. I was amazed I actually got that thing to start today, normally it just will not start when its below freezing. I'll see if i can get Trevor to come with me so he can film it -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Oh no.... The Australian disease of going out and just doing doughies, burnouts and drag racing has caught on to the Americans... Just kiddin mate, I know it gets used for other stuff too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
