I Finally did it! RCZ!

[Tomas_90]

JCW - I think you'll find the latter half of this thread helpful:

viewtopic.php?t=4331

If I can be of greater help then just ask but, in short, the RCZ is useless in the snow (with 19s anyway) and I wouldn't even contemplate driving mine up here in Aberdeen without them. Money well spent!

When i went to work last monday there were some ice on the roads but i didn't notice any slipping at all even tho i was driving on summer tires still. When i got into the company car (Toyota Hiace, RWD) WITH studded winter tires i couldn't get anywhere without spinning the wheels :lol:

Also i have a somewhat important question:

Where can i find the center Peugeot logo for my winter rims? The ones i've got are black since they're on the Sortilége rims so i need some silver ones. Can i find them on E-Bay or do i just go to the Peugeot dealership/service center and have them order in for me?

The hole in the center...

What's the size you require? There are certainly some on eBay just now.

PS - I am not endorsing the seller as I have never used them

Haven't actually measured the size yet, but the rims are going onto the car this weekend. Obviously it doesn't matter if they aren't there asap. But i'm getting some eitherway cause i can't live with watching a hole like that :lol:

I shall have a look tomorrow.

Checked the center covers, they are 60mm indeed.

Changed the tires today too Doesn't it look Terrific? (pun intended :lol: )


Newly washed Sortilége's, waiting to dry so i can put some polish on then later tonight

Splendid, then the ones I unearthed should be perfect.

Wow, that is incredible!

 

[Tomas_90]

Well it's nothing yet. Most of that will probably melt away too in a few days. Buut, eventually it'll stay.

Was kind of amazing cause when i went to bed last night there was not a single snowflake outside, and looked like full winter this morning!

 

[Tomas_90]

Got some more snow last night/today, and it's still coming down :shock:

There should be an RCZ under there somewhere


Oh look, there it is!

Dunno if it's a good idea to have a snow-white car where you live :eusa-think: :eusa-whistle:

 

[Tomas_90]

It is a bit camouflaged indeed

I'll just turn my lights off and the cops will go right by!

The picture was taken from inside the house. I don't wanna go out there for nothing!

If you had of done, I'd of complained about the virgin snow having been trodden on anyway. Hope that you keep all the snow over there and we don't see any.

There's gonna be minus degrees today and tomorrow but after that it turns to the plus side for a few days, and maybe some rain too so a lot of it will melt away then.

It's currently -14ºC here! Coldest it's been so far this winter. In northern Finland they had down to -35º to -38ºC last night i think i heard.

Hit 50.000 km today while driving My poor old worn out RCZ



Also repainted the car to "Winter White" like every other time you move the car one inch... Rinsed the worst off afterwards tho.

Well done she looks a beauty mate enjoy :thumbup:

 

[Tomas_90]

Not too shabby fuel economy there 43 MPG! After another 100 km it dropped to 42 MPG tho

 

[Tomas_90]

Cold Air Intake? Yes i have that!



The car wasn't particulary fond of this cold. Everything was smooth and running like it should but it struggled to keep the temperature up. Of course almost any car does that in this temp, especially new ones with highly efficient engines. Cruising at 90 km/h it never went over 83 or so degrees, mostly hovering between 70ºC and 80ºC. At intersections the temp dropped 5-10 degrees just by slowing down and waiting to turn
