They didn't say whether it's heated or not.

 

It's like a big warehouse about 60 degree in the winter, but the price seems high, going to shop around a bit more.

 

is that 60 F or 60 C?

 

60F probably...since 60C is wayyyy too hot, 60 F = 15-16 C which is okay

 

Yea, that's 60 F about 15 C

 

RXeckless - look on kijiji you will find ppl posting storage units, garage, underground etc., ppl that don't need the space for a lot less.

 

^Thanks. never thought of looking there!

 

Np...gl

 

^ tried today at work no luck

Ok, now how do I store it;
Tire pressure 40 psi?
Change oil?
Pull battery?
1/4 to 1/2 tank of gas with fuel stabilizer?
Plan to fire it up once a month for 5-10 minute to lube the seals.
Anything else I've missed?

 

I found some private space north of Newmarket, I'll be seeing him this week, anyone else interested.
I'll see how much space he has. Way cheaper than most storage.
100$ a month, heated. some access.

 

Ok, now how do I store it;
Tire pressure 40 psi? 45psi or on stands under the suspension.
Change oil? Nah...(guess depends when your last one was done) change soon as you take it out
Pull battery? Yup
1/4 to 1/2 tank of gas with fuel stabilizer? full tank with stabilizer, less condensation then.
Plan to fire it up once a month for 5-10 minute to lube the seals. Nope...leave it till u take it out. I would figure the same.
Anything else I've missed? Steel wool for exhaust pipes (inside them) lol, clean and wax before storage (taking mine to get professionally done), car cover. Think that's it.

That's a lot man, but is heated. Heats better, but it's just sitting there so who cares.

 

You really don't need to start it every month. Park it, leave it 'till spring.

 

Heard it was also good for the A/C

One more Thumper, a plate of Baking Soda on the floor to soak those nasty damp odors from no air circulation.

Already have a car cover for indoor use.

 

full tank with fuel stabilizer, Car Cover, wash and wax the car, pull battery, that's what I do as well...

 

Could anyone explain why this is needed?

Rats and mice man...they won't eat thru that ****. Oh and maybe cover your intake if it is aftermarket, or plug.

 

I store mine at auto vault, but it maybe too expensive for you if your looking for anything 100 bucks or less a month

 

Went to see that storage space today. It's a private home with a huge out building where he stores his Vette and shop tools, room for probably 10-12 cars including his. Took it from November 1 to April 1 $500. I'll be in good company he say 2 Porsches will be my neighbors. Not much to look at but it has it's own heating system and concrete floors. Good enough for me.

 

Hahaha...I don't know what sorta place your storing your 8 at...but my garage is free from all that...lolz

Wow, that's pretty good, I might plan to store my car there as well then........ so it's called "Doane Road Storage"? Let me google it.....

 

Did not go with Doane Road Storage. Went with a private guy.
pm you this morning.
P.S.
I found another place yesterday 50$ per month indoor but they have a waiting list, Put my name in for next year. For 50 bucks I can't go wrong, the person I talked to said they been storing car for twenty years and the only way to get a spot is if someone destroys there car (s) or dies.

 

Hey man, got your pm, thanks!!! Wow, another place for $50, can't go wrong man, but I guess its full......

 

I made myself a little check list, things to buy and to-do in preparation of winter storage.
