Krzys Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 There has to be an underlying issue somewhere on it mate. I know that once I got winter tyres on Ruby, and alignment done she was ok on the snow. Not brilliant, but ok. I didn't have any hills to negotiate though, well, nothing big anyway. You say the alignment was done (DC2)? I'm not sure the Integra has the same alignment as the Civic M's, might be an idea to contact a Honda dealership to confirm this.You should see the hills around here, living on top of a valley is nice but when it snows it's like car-pinball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVEMB2 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Toyo have just come out with some new proxi winter tyres that sound good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skitzma8 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 My MA8 is on pirelli winter tyres, and its still crap on roads that are lightly iced, the front wheels just lock up lol. I havn't driven her in snow yet but I will find out soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E=MC2 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Here i am after few days. DC2 aligment is because service didnt have MB6 or MC2 file on his machine. But, wheel base, front and rear track and suspension is the same as DC2, so i think that this setup is good. But this isn't the core of the problem, because my car behaved this way with stock and MG ZS suspension, with bad and good wheel aligment and with new and now used tires. Now normaly worse than with new tires, but without some big difference because of tire wear. Heres demonstration video how bad it is. Captured 2 days ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4_Tu9QOqWM Sure, it is hard, icy sufrace, but slope is small, and fwd lsd car with winter tires just must move, and it isnt.

Krzys Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Bonus! At least the handbrake works! That means I'll need to remember to see it later then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Much like the one on your accord does. Sending m owners into fits of jealousy!I'd happily swap rear discs for a set of drums for the fun you can have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know anything about driving on snow really but in the video the rears also lack grip so I would point to the tyres being the problem. Your car should be as good as any other fwd without traction control I would have thought. Maybe try a thinner section like 175 at the front?
