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.

yeah, mmmm, snow.......

Thats sick i have some good videos to i will try to get them up :banana:

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..

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

You need to make another trip here, my house has 37 inches.

Lotsa fun.

If i had the Hatch built i so would, maybe next year for sure dude

-Bill

Well im having problems uploading the rest of my snow videos so I will forgo those until i have a better internet connection. Oh well.

-Bill

This is how you do doughnuts Bill...

 

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

Psh, everyone's a critic when you have oversize tires with an underpowered motor

 

-Bill

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.

Just kiddin man, its was ughhh a nice try.

Is that all the snow you guys got down there?

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

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.

I wanted to take out my RX but the heater dont work

 

Oh, and i have open diffs , and there was no ice

They do get chewed up a little, but you can always take an axle out.

 

-Jaren

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

Wow, that thing really is a BEAST. Man I wish it would snow here.

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.

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

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...
