I recall there is a company selling WRG2 under another name now. Can't remember the details off my head.

Same here, first MT RWD winter.

One thing with most RWD cars is that they have a lot of torque. If you have a RWD car without that torque, it's not as bad as some people make it sound. I heard RX-8 is actually not that bad to drive in winter. It doesn't have that much torque, so it's less likely to spin the wheels with proper tires. Same with S2k, not very much torque. If you have a lot of torque, be easy on the gas, and if necessary, start from 2nd gear.

I really like the 19" RX-8 R3 wheels, but yeah, could be kinda troublesome in some areas in Victoria where roads are not paved very well.
