Default Cold weather people

If it gets below -20*C where you are, plug in your heater core. I can't start my car this morning so I'm stuck at home[:@]

Default RE: Cold weather people

how do you plug your heater core in??? Take a torch to your waterpump for a minute don't let it get too hot though cause you don't want to mess up your gasket. and plug your battery in to a high amp charger and start it then.

The cars in the cold climates had heater "bag" installed into the engine block where a freeze plug goes, you plug it in to a 12V outlet and it heats your collant up so your car starts easier[8D]

Both my N/A and Turbo have/had them.

My cars still warming up right now, but my battery might be dead (tried to start it for 10 minutes lmao)

Oh well, guess I get out of school today

It should be in the first freeze plug on your engine block (behind the exhaust manifold)

yeah its pretty nip around here too...I think the lowest has been -21 here which isn't too bad...makes way for snowboarding for me

but also means Christmas is coming and I can't save up for a new car cuz I have ppl to buy for. I will most likely get a car in January though. Oh well..more vehicles to find :P also more time to beef up my computer
