Default Storing the R. some serious Questions.. :|

i just read most of the FAQ thing on storing the car.

except the stuff in the owner's mannual is there any other stuff that i should do if i am storing it for long period of time? say 1 to 2 years?

should i drain all the fluids?

Motor = do oil change and leave it that way for 6 months and reapeat every 6 months? or drain oil?

Tranny oil = does it need to be drained? or changed?

Radiator = flush it or drain?

Gas =I guess i will have to go full tank of gas + staibleizer

Paint = de-wax it? or wax it. (i heard wax can go yellow on CW's in long period of time)

and i am thinking to put the car on jack stand and remove the coilover/wheels.

let me know if i am missing anything.

thanks alot

keep in mind, if you dont put some gas stabilizer, gas turns to laquer ... and that means change your tank and lines... my cusin had to do that to his 92 eg, it sat from 97-00 and the gas was just thick as ****.

Smegma: a foul smelling, cheese like substance, found around the glans ***** and clitoris.
being that it is cheese like, that makes it pretty thick, although there are a number of soft cheeses, like cheeze whiz, or cream cheese. But I think we are discussing the hard cheese varieties like cheddar (extra sharp), or maybe a nice aged parmesan......

Yep. You dont want to drain it either because that will cause rust to start in your fuel system.
