stored RX-8 for 3 months
For those that saw my post about 3 months back.. I am getting my car back out of involuntary storage... suggestions to make sure car is not affected by long period of storage/not running... I aired tires to 45psi, put in gas care product, and pulled battery which I placed on a trickler during the time it was out of the 8. I also changed oil before storage and plan to do so again before storing for winter.

That is about it. This is my 3rd year storing my 8 (October - May) and that's all I do, other than a good cleaning and waxing. Depending on where you store it you might want to plug up any exterior holes (exhaust, battery vent) to prevent rodent from getting in.

I had my 8 stored for 11 weeks this summer and I didn't take out the battery and it still started up just fine (I didn't set the alarm). |
Left my car with my brother...has 29k miles now...when I get back in a few months...if that thing has over 31K miles....i'll be whooping some ass.....
but yes i've stored the 8 for 6 months and just disconnected the battery...left as little fuel as possible....and drained the oil.....oh yeah also put the wheels on cardboard |
storage is tantamount to abuse.

Put some fuel injector cleaner in it when you have 4 or 5 gallons left. Then run till she is empty.
