/sigh Well lets say I do get a garage, You still have to start the car and drive it around right? Or can you just leave it in there? man I am really worried

 

My car was fine in storage. Left outside? Now that's another story.

 

i'll seriously offer you my garage. theres room in there. i won't dick with it because i too own one. i'll even keep her pretty for ya and drive her around the block once a week (or not if you don't want to). My dad's retired air force, hence the kind offer...

just gotta get her to san antonio...

 

Contact you technician from your dealership! Ask him what to do so you dont have problems later!

Take this coming from someone who works for a Mitsu dealership! It wont cost you a penny to call and get the right information! Plus if something does go wrong you can always go back to them and say, well you told me to do this!

Best of luck,

 

You guys are soo good to each other on this forum! Way to "rally" together!

 

That is a 14 hours drive, I was in Randolph AFB a year ago. Thanks for the offer man but I dont think I can do it. Again thanks for the offer

 

anytime. my dad actually still does civil service out at randolph and i'm a contractor on ft. sam. small world.

the offer still stands if you change your mind. a 14 hour drive to keep your car safe and happy for 4 months isn't that bad...

 

Before I got out .... I went on 6 month deployments all the time.

1. Fill the tank with gas it will be fine with a full tank.
2. Change the oil before you store the car.
3. Disconned the battery.
4. Put a condum over the exhaust pipe.
5. Put moth ***** around and in the car so mice dont build a nest in it.
6. Tell local authorities/trustworthy buddies where car will be stored so they can keep an eye on it. Provide them with contact info.
7. Remove anything that someone would break into the car for.
8. Add EXTRA insurance to the car for theft or vandalizm.
9. Apply a quality coat of wax.
10. Ensure tires are propperly inflated

Battery may need charging when you get back but other than that it will be fine. No need to drive or start the car.

 

disconnect the battery
put it on some jackstands , but make sure the wheels are supported and not just dangling. take a few pictures to remember her buy

 

Everyone already offered good advice already. Definitely look into renting a large enough storage unit for those 4 months and put the Evo on jackstands so the tires don't become warped (don't know if that's the word to use).

 

hey i think my cousin is in the same air force base as u in missouri ...he got a yellow type r and he is going to korea in feb and he is gonna sell the car....

 

I would just get the fuel stabilizer I think its called Stabil?? (most all auto parts stores have it Pep-Boys, Autozone, Etc.) put it in the tank and then fill up, take it on a run, and then park it covered and you should be good to go. I wouldn't worry about draining any of the other fluids unless you were going to be gone 6 months or more.

 

xxsmokingxx ---> Hey man is your cousin Victor LOL I know him I actually asked about the Type R

 

put moth ***** inside and under the car to keep away some animals

 

Thank you for all your help everyone I appreciate it.
