Well Ive been in south korea for about 6 months and now im coming back to the beast. I wanted to know what to do before I start the car. and other things to do as well thanks for any help.

 

Where has the car been? Storage? Was someone starting it?

 

the car has been in storage no one started it.

 

Ouch. Did you put fuel stabilizer (or whatever it's called) in the tank? Is it lifted or on the tires? How long has it been sitting there?

I can tell you right now, you're going to have to flush out all the fluids.

I'm in a similar boat, but I have someone start it once a week and drive it twice a month. I'm also on my way back to my IX. I can't wait!

 

yeah not fuel stabilizer im putting new tires on it when I get there, should I put a quart of ATF though it first then good oil?

 

Yea, dude. Your tires are probably done. How long was it sitting there for?

 

6 months im replacing with new tires

 

Oh, 6 months is not too bad. I would still flush out the fluids.

I know it's not an Evo, but my R6 sat in storage for 8 months and it started up just fine. Not even a jump needed...

 

Agreed, 6 months is not that bad. I would change the oil though for sure. Tires will be fine more than likely.

 

Not an Evo, but I have a BMW E30 that sat for 2 years before I started it up...it started up fine. I would advise you to change the oil, and check the battery. The battery may be dead from sitting idle for 6 months.

 

yes you might be way better off than you think, 6 months really not that bad

 

6 months is nothing. I'd take it for a nice long relatively easy drive, and then put some fresh gas in. Otherwise you're good to go. I wouldn't bother changing any fluids (but do check oil level). Oh yeah, check your tire pressures before you go, those may have gone down a bit.

 

Your case was different, it's the ultimate driving machine.

 

nice

 

Dude that's an E30 those things are effin tanks bro. Mine doesn't look to pretty but I drive it an hour to AND from work most days, and it never lets me down.

Unless the gas hand is waving at me and I run out


To the OP, give a good cruising, and some good 93 Octane, THEN change the oil.
