Supra Sitting up

Is it ok to leave the car sitting up till end of Feb?

Was just goin to take the battery out charge it (went flat over the last few weeks) and put it back in so I could start her 1/2 a week

Tyres be ok or anything else to look for

I've read on here to let the tyres down a bit so you don't get a flat spot but don't quote me on that until someone who knows replies.

Also I think putting it on axle stands is a good idea and obviously making sure the car is dry and clean before putting it away if it's going to be indoors.

Cool thanks, yeah Flat spots are what I am concerned about but was goin to bring it for a 5 min spin each week

Its outdoors unfortunetly, Lady tennant in my place made it her mission to get me kicked out of the underground even though 6 spaces are always free (Mercedes middle aged single disgruntled bitch)

Maybe if you get her a gigolo for the night you might get your space back. That's pretty unfair though!

I'd say then just put it on axle stands and put a cover on it and unplug the battery

it will be fine it would of sat for 8 weeks or so coming over from japan

yea feb isnt that long,

iv done the same, my cars been in the garage tho since november, with battery in my house.

i go up there every 3 weeks or so to start it up and just take it for a gentle drive round the block, so he brakes dont seize etc etc.

dont think your supose to leave the handbrake up either so just leave in gear

Unplugging the battery will disable your alarm.

Not just a hat rack, never taught of that

Dont start me on it, we all pay the same maintaince fee but she has the option to park outside and indoors but because it is under there block the parking, they have exclusive only access

As a cold start induces more wear than hundreds of miles of normal hot running what is peoples obsession with starting laid up cars every few days? Just leave the thing until you next need to use it 24 months isn't long, let alone 2 months.

Thanks Chris, what about flat spots on the tyres ?

They'll disappear after a few miles and a heat cycle, if they occur at all. I think you are worrying too much

Its my pride and joy, you got to worry

Its my pride and joy, you got to worry

Whack it on stands to keep it out of standing water and cover it

No need to let the air out if it's on stands.

How long does it take for things like oil seals etc to dry out then chris?

Its my pride and joy, you got to worry

my gtr has sat for 8 months lol.. you will be fine
