First snowstorm in M2

CanadianComp · 11-12-2020, 11:30 PM

Definitely didn't get to ease the M2 into winter!!

Don't bother asking if I got stuck right after this photo was taken...

First winter with RWD, so will take a bit of getting used to forsure.

Great pic! Which tires did you have on her?

Man, That color looks GREAT in snow. If I ever upgrade to an M2C it will non doubt be SO.

Love it! Rear wheel drive cars are a blast in the snow when you know what you're doing.

VisualEcho · 11-13-2020, 08:20 AM

M2 as snow-shovel. lol

Yup definitely fun so far! Just have to get used to being ready to catch the rear end as it steps out way quicker than my previous AWD cars obviously

Krowned? Is that some sort of anti rust treatment?

Nice pic. SO looks great esp w snowy background.
RWD and winter is fun. Ran s2000 for last 10 years during winter. Only stained underwear a dozen or so times, and was usually my own fault.

What sizes are you running, those look oem wheels? Couldn’t find good sizes for vikingcontact7 in US. Went w 235 square on 9 in rims.

Haha, wow S2000 in the winter... I can imagine.

Yes, they are the stock 788M's on 255/35 Vikingcontact 7s all around. I thought the rear would be a little more stretched, but its actually not as bad as I was expecting.

Looks like a fun snow plow

Where is the M2 air intake? Some are very low and I'd be afraid to get a snow build up in there. Like driving thru a flooded road....

ROBM2C · 11-17-2020, 08:13 AM

Love to see this , good for you . Life is too short to drive a beater !

Agreed! Why would I drive a beater when my M2 has a heated steering wheel

I think they are on the inside edges of the lower middle grille/intake... you can see below...

Not too worried as the snow wouldn't really melt while driving, and any buildup will just melt when I park it in garage... Anyways I shouldn't be plowing snow like that very often

This go round...I got a used Honda Fit...I got tired of swapping tires out on my 235. M2 is sitting inside till easter-It was 35 here today in N.VA
