Is "winter mode" = storage mode? Or do you actually drive it through winter?

Anyone wanna "practice" their painting skills repainting the red to make the car white again at no cost? Beer as compensation and a carton of Japanese/Chinese smokes? Lol

JDM BBS LM reverse mount (+15 to the offset) for flush look:
front: 18x9 +27 offset
back: 18x10 +35 offset | BBS LM and Vsxx look so similar I mixed em up lol, but yah driving slammed cars suck.....back in Shanghai I had a new Sonata I slammed and kept getting stuck in garages.... even got stuck and needed security to help lift up the car leaving the Canadian embassy -.-
Living in kits don't help either since so many speed bumps compared to 6 years ago

do ppl still use the terms BPU and APU? haha | Some on Supraforums still do, but nowadays we usually just say "built internals" instead of APU haha. Even I can't remember what "BPU++++" means. I think it was Suprastore.com that started that nomenclature. Quote:

Living in kits don't help either since so many speed bumps compared to 6 years ago | Driving and owning a slammed vehicle is definitely a PITA lifestyle. You eventually grow out of it once you've had enough with the inconvenience and cost associated from the damage and high wear and tear resulting from a slammed vehicle. Quote:

Zexxy that is one awesome looking supra, I want it so I can have it next to my MKIII haha.
I haven't seen many people using the apu name much anymore.
From what I remember the adding of the plus's to the bpu came when one started adding things like cam gears, cams and injectors to the stock twin motor.
