My 8 will be standing for 2 months!!

I recently bought my rx8 about a month ago with the idea of selling it after my summer holidays. Problem is I like my car so much and i've invested so much time and money in it i dont have the heart to sell it. The problem is I am a student and i'm flying back to England next month for university. Ill be back around Xmas time for my break. My car will be standing for almost 3 months!! Any suggestions as to what i can do as ive heard its really bad for engine to be unused for such a long period of time.

Thanks so much.

Do an "Advanced" title search on winter storage; this should give you some ideas on what you need to do.

New member here as well. Like most forums, there are lots of trolls lurking about here. Just ignore them. Here is a thread with some info: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tec...ization-74827/

That's not trolling.

Trolling would be me trying to deliberately antagonize him/her into a ridiculous argument with no purpose.

What I did was educate him/her about how easy it is to answer his own questions. The fun part is that he/she can apply it across all aspects of life.

One thing you might consider is leaving your 8 with a trustworthy friend who will simply take it out for a run a few times a month.
