My big problem was that it was cold as hell outside so I decided to stay inside all day!

my tranny used to be supper notchy in the winter with amsoil tranny fluid, i now also use the redline cocktail and it acts almost like brand new synchros after a couple days.

Parking outside for the first time ever during winter. I sure miss heated underground parking. :( Last year I had underground non heated, and even with my 15w-50 oil, it always fired up. :D (Bad lifter tick which was solved last spring, now running 10w-30.)
No real problems, just starts a little slower but never more than 2 cranks. Scraping ice and snow sucks too.
I think my car blew a shock out over the weekend, but not due to weather.. UGH

both rear doors were frozen shut
the washer fluid was 1/2 frozen
shell 10/40 with a bottle of Lucas it a little to thick to a while to run well
the car does not get warm even with the drive to the airport 160 tem t-stat sucks for winter.
the lock was frozen
sliding all over the place with the 18's is not fun
all yesterday

My brake booster was having issues in the -15 weather the other night. When the car was running, the brakes were hard to press like if the car was off. After warming it up, it was good though. Turned over super slowly, but still started up like a champ.

Sounds about right. My belts also scream more than normal when I start it.
It's always been 1-2 seconds of cranking to start, and even in this weather, it's no exception. They're just reeaaaaallllly reeaaaaallllly sloooooooooooooooooooooooow cranks.

Well first time my car wouldn't start, battery was toast after 30 seconds of trying to start. I haven't started it in over a week so battery was probably about dead anyway. Getting a jump in 30 minutes.

The Honda battery has barely started our Talon the last 2 mornings.

I have a civic battery in the evo right now and she cranks over like a champ.
