Great day saw another Firestorm on Edinburgh and College in Guelph and got the TRD Spoiler installed at Guelph Scion. Looks great and a fantastic job.
Looks awesome! Every time I see the Firestorm I think "Man, that looks nice". Still love the black though.

Congrats again. Hope to see you at events.

I have been reading this thread since last year. I really really like the 86 because of its rwd and sport suspensions, but I also worried how possible to use it as a solo daily driver. For anyone daily drive it in this past winter, please share your comments.

I have an automatic I4 accord now. In the past I daily drove a lifted tj (4.0L,6mt). It was fine in winter--i even used rwd on purpose in snow. But 86 might be too light.

Dual car setup might be the right way, but it is costy.
Welcome to the group greentea. We're a nice bunch... untill, a) you're ahead of one of us on the track, or b) A 'hellaflush' vs 'hellafunctional' argument breaks out.

lol

I know a few people who drove through the winter on their summer tires! I store my 'Lenore", but I took it out early when the good weather started. Then we got snow dumped on us. I can tell you that it's behaviour is very predictable, easy to correct, and a ton of fun! If I drive it through the winter next year (likely not), I would definitely put on winters though. It may be fun and easy to slide around, but if I need to stop suddenly I wouldn't want to be on summers.
