Question!
I'm parking my 1987 toyota supra for the winter for the many obvious reason, I have a car cover to cover it up and some spray on oil stuff to lube everything up while its parked but.... Here's my question since it's outside in -30ish CELCIUS weather what should I do? And I mean everything I need to do? like should I start it up somtimes and should I put anything additives in the gas? And what about rust anything to prevent? This car is MINT any information would BE AWESOME!
Cheers mates Mitch Rice |

If your car's a Turbo you should start it once a week or every other week at worse. If your cars an n/a, you "should" be okay for once a month. With a turbo you have to keep things moving or the seals start to dry out and your car will smoke when you start her over again.

Good idea
Quote:
If you drive the car once a week, it should not happen, as you will park in a different place on the tires. Plus running it on stands, or once a week drive, the oils in the diff, tranny, p/s, and engine will get spread around and keep moisure from rusting and corroding things.

I would also dump a bottle of fuel stabilizer in the tank so your gas doesn't get too funky.
