cold weather performance issue
I love my car and pretty much put brand new parts on everything But in the winter time. It seems like my acceleration and power are just not what they are when its warm out. Idk if anyone has noticed this with their car? Its only when its really cold out like right now its 20 degrees. My car still runs great it just seems alittle lazy In this type of weather. Any ideas? Would switching to a higher octane gas Maby help alittle idk thou.

Higher octane wont hurt your car, but it may make no difference and be a waste of money.
Is there a noticeable change in gas mileage? You may want to check for exhaust leaks.
The other thing you may want to do is lubricate the slide pins on the brakes with something like silicone paste.

Regarding the brakes, what you're suggesting is virtually impossible; don't waste your time and effort unless you actually need a brake job.

Well my rear calipers are missing all the rubber from the cylinder. And I had to use a hammer to put my pads in the housing. They were so tight. And when I drive my car its usually in 8-10 inches of snow. Where I live. And I put a intake on my car a while ago but I left the box that is in front of the tire that goes to where the air box is. But where does it suck air from cause I notice alot of snow down in the hole Maby its full of snow. And not getting all the air to my intake. Its the box below the air box behind my front quarter panel
