Stop in for a cup of coffee

I even found studded winter tires in 175/80R13, but not in this country. It is more of them in Europe, more smaller cars there. Or was in the old days. Now it is a different matter. Even the Mini Cooper has big tires these days. It is ridiculous, and wide tires are horrid in snow no matter what car it is, and even more horrid with 1-2+ inches of wet sleet on the road.

Tire rack will stud if you're mail ordering. Some local places still do - mostly north of here. Firestone still makes a traditional snow tire available in 14" that can be studded.
Swapped out the ECU and coil on the GTS and tried to fire her up.

It’s ALIIIIIVE!!



Pulled her out into the driveway. She was covered in a couple of years worth of dust like some kinda barn find, but a quick bath took care of that!

Nice. Was wondering if you ever take it out - and now I know why you hadn't been.

I think if I was going buy a new ECU, my money would go on the 'Hi Rev' unit Rick Eherenberg sells. Still a gamble, but my sense is the odds are better.
