Question scoob strugling in the cold

can anyone give me any help, i have a 95 wrx and since its been gettin colder she is being a bit slow starting up when i finish work on nights. she will start up but on very low rpm for a few seconds.
i have recently fitted a hks induction kit so would it be safer to swap back to the original air filter etc or is there any easier quick solutions?

you could try fitting the standard box back on and see if that helps.
alternatively the coolant temp sensor could be on the way out

Is it slow turning over? Could just be the battery on the way out, colder engine takes more effort to turn.

You will find sales off car batteries go up in the winter

As above possibly battery. Failing that cranking time could sometimes be more depending on temperatures
