HI everyone, my R has been in storage for a couple on months while I was away on a trip. During this time a tire went flat and my battery died ( I told my brother to disconnect it for but he didnt )
Now im planning to leave my car in storage for the rest of the winter season,
is it ok to just leave the flat?? or will that f**k something up?
any info you guys can give me will be much appreciated thanks.

 

it will mess up the tires

 

the tires on the car are pretty much bald i was planning on getting a new set of RE101's for them in the summer.
no other damage will result in leaving it??
It'll be a hassle to start her up and drive her to a gas station especially with out registration and insurance

If your not going to use that tire anymore, then it does not make a difference.

There should be plenty in the archives on how to store your car, try the FAQs.

will it mess up the wheel if the car sit on a flat tire all winter? just curious...

 

As long as there is enough air in the tire to keep the wheel off the ground, you will not damage the wheel. For winter storage, I prefer to put my car on jackstands to take pressure off the suspension.

 

thanks guys

 

if the tire went flat, 9/10 ther eis a hole in it. so what if it damages a fucked up tire.

store it like that if your not that ****.

Yeah, you won't mess up the wheel, just sitting on a flat tire. No real stress on it. Search for more preperation you could do (disconnect battery, fuel stabilizer, etc.) but yeah I'd leave well-enough alone and get fresh tires in the Spring.

Actually, I'd just drive the thing in the winter. Get some coilovers so you can raise it a few inches

 

i let my car sit for over a year with no fuel stabilizer , no motor, no battery.
put it all together and fired up like a dream the next year. even though it was 20degrees out. lol.

sometimes you get lucky sometimes you dont. but it is wise to store it correctly

 

thanks for advice guys
will try my best to keep her well stored

 

I think the best advice is to replace all the old tires then sell them so you can buy gifts for your girlfriend
