I run all-season, because we get minimal snow, i don't believe full winter/snow tires are required. I put them on when the temps starts going below 40-50 degree in the day time, usually around november.
It depends on your tune on how much the cold will effect your pefromance. I run the Works T1R flash and i can see boost spikes in the lower gears in the extreme cold.

Ahhh I see. Cool!
I just have an SAFC-II but will definately need to have someone retune me- right now I have no way to log or see my AFR's. I'd like to have a flash and the SAFC-II on top for aditional tuning.
Since we'll be moving to a new state I think they'll need to inspect my car (emissions) for it to be registered. So it's likely I'll need to put the stock DP and cat back on.

Ahah, and sir, I just remembered since your car got registered as a LANCER, I bet they'll correct that when you re-register in Kansas. lol

As long as you move to the kansas side and not the missouri side, you wont have to wory about any type of emission test. Your downpipe will be just fine. The cat, If they do anything, they will do a visual inspection, but I dont think they will. I would leave all what you have on and try it first. If not then put the old cat back on just for the inspection. but kansas doesn't do any type of inspection on vehicles ever, unless you buy a car out of state, or the car was previsously registered out of state and needs to be registered in kansas.

:\ well that's the problem.. This car was bought and is registered in AZ... So there will have to be some sort of inspection that that KS can register the car. I may try to just show up with no cat and see what happens. But I also may just have the cat put on temporarily for visual inspection and to get rid of the CEL. Do you know how long they allow you to get this done after you've moved? I'm thinking like 30-60 days?

But I'd bet that at the most they'll do an OBD-II scan (as well as test the things Compjoc said) and you either pass or fail based on that. I'd check out the Kansas DOT to see what they require before you do anything.

Tuning wise, Jake can tune you. He has had success with his IX and has been tuning others. See Diemanmotorsports.com.
When you get here, pm me and we'll get you hooked up with Jake.
I moved from Shawnee to Lenexa. 30 minutes to downtown from my new home. 20 minutes from my old home.
Haven't registered a car in a while, but if it's coming from out of state, they will look over the vin numbers making sure they match and don't come up on any stolen vehicle lists. Never saw them get on the ground and look under the car. But then again, this was with a pre cat car ('78 280z) from when I moved here from Missouri back in the late 80's.
Good luck on the move,

I ran continental conti-extreme contact's for the first 2 winters. They were a BIG step down from the advans in dry conditions but were pretty good in the snow. Now I have a set of Avon Tech M550 A/S's. They have much better dry traction and handling capabilities than the continentals but i haven't had a chance to try them out in the snow yet.

Actually handled pretty good, I thought.
