Is there any issue with leaving the car up on jack stands for a couple weeks?

yes, make sure the car is safe from theft!

 

have someone change out the headlight blinker fluid atleast once every two weeks, or the gaskets may prematurely wear out

 

ive done it... dont know how smart it was, but it was my eclipse.. so i didnt really care...

I've left cars on jackstands for over a year. screw the frame.

 

It will be fine. My car was on jack stands all winter long.

Don't forget the Muffler Bearing, and hyphen-doofinator.

 

**** my hyphen-doofinator just blew its load
is that expensive?

 

actually when you have a really old car that you want to store for winter they recommend that you put it on jack stands. so you dont **** up the tires or the suspension. so yeah id say its safe to leave it on jack stands. i had my mr2 on jack stands for a few weeks and it was fine.

edit: and dont forget to change out the radiator fluid filter. alot of people forget about it and over heat.

 

I heard that your ASGM can go bad if you let it sit outside for weeks in a humid climate.

 

When my car was stored, I jacked it up by the LCA's.

Im sure its not a problem, but thats alot of weight to put on those bushings for extended amounts of time. Rubber DOES deform.

nah.. that's yet more misinformation being spread on honda-tech.. you've jumped on the ASGM goes bad bandwagon I see.. I did independant testing, one car sitting outside on a dyno in humidity for weeks, and another on a dyno inside with 0 humidity.. SAE corrected dyno results were identical.. but then again, it was different cars.. maybe the ASGM on the car outside was of higher quality..



or perhaps you mean this: http://www.asgm.org.au/ Old people hate humidity..

 

The car outside must have had a newer version. The older ones (v1 and v2) had problems with this.
