hey peoples,

ive just got a job working on the big oil rigs, and i have to leave my girl in the shed for a long period of time. ive heard that there is a list of things u have to do to the car to insure that it will work when i get back.

i know about the battery and fuel going off so far is there any thing else

?????

Thankyou

all help is needed

talked to a m8 but the same issue n he reckons

u cld drain oil i guess, but wldn't drain ALL fluids such as coolant (radiator)

unless u are 500% sure there is no moisture in there otherwise, the slightest bit of moisture cld cause ur radiator to corrode from the inside out

just a thought

yeh ive thought of doing the last 2 things.....im thinking of selling it but then we i come back on breaks i wont have a car :D and i dont want to no poo goto have a line.....and i could try a friend.... cheers

I would pump the tyres up to 60psi. This will stop them from getting flat spots. Also.....do not drain the fluids. It is almost a must that it be started and run to operating temp once a month to avoid damage.

If you try to start it after one year of sitting....expect it to blow smoke for the rest of it's life.....but then again, you could be lucky.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
