You'll probably just have to wait till spring to really use the lower gears, but switching to the normal esc at those times might save your front tires a little bit.

Will adjust esc and give it a shot. Guess it’s 60 rolls only till the weather warms up lol

I wanted blizzaks. But when I got the car last winter there was next to nothing available. And I needed a set quick due to it averaging 20° the Pzeros were trying to kill me every chance they got lol

Just went for a drive and I have the feeling that the exhaust note has become a bit more... rumbly? Like a bit of a boxer-4? Or a bit like the aggressive nissan V6s in the 350Z/GT-R? I don't quite know.

Someone remind me to make a video of the exhaust sound :p

I've been noticing the same lately, not sure if the colder weather has anything to do with it but leaving the house in the morning it sounds perfect.

It definitely sounds different to me when its cold outside. Sounds louder, is more willing to do loud burbles at low rpm and does them for a longer period.

One question, does the ECU lessen the pops and burbles at lower rpm when it's hot outside to keep the hot side of the turbo cooler? or just to prevent the engine as a whole from getting too hot?
 
It's a combination of the ECU and Anti-Lag System along with the Active Exhaust.

The ECU controls; AFR's, and timing along with a myriad of other electronic functions from the throttle body, eLSD, fly-by-wire throttle etc. The cooling system, controls engine temps.

Are you joking ;) I got wheel spin yesterday in 4th gear using test winner Continental Viking Contact 7 made for nordic winter conditions.

To much power to be used in icy/snowy conditions.

I removed my JB4 for the winter because it’s pretty much useless now. However my car feels like a dog. It’s crazy how much of a difference the tuner makes in just general drivability
 
Today I got a rather large spider crack in the windshield courtesy of a truck in front of me kicking up a stone left by the construction on the freeway. got it sealed today but you can still see it, I'll replace the windshield if this happens again. thankfully nothing hit the paint.20191202_102953.jpg
