I've been in training for the army and wont be out until November...my evo has been sitting and hasn't been started since July. I know the battery is dead and the oil will need to be changed but is that all i need to do to run it safely when i get home or will i need to change or clean other parts on it? need as much input as possible i dont wanna mess the evo up!!! thanks!!

 

I would say try to get someone to charge the battery and start it up if you could.

Fuel stabilizer would be nice. Other than that the fluids are synthetic and hold up to no use for a while.The problem is the rear main and front crankshaft seals in my opinion. When you get back and they have dried, you could potentially see a leak develop.

I usually see this with the Ferrari's that people don't drive.

Oh yeah. And flat spotted tires.

 

Thanks for the input I appreciate it!

 

Dry rotted tires LOL.

 

Do not activate your EVO once you get it started for atleast 100 miles of run !! which I am sure you will put on the first run !!

What do you mean by activate it??

 

I'm going to assume he means keep it out of boost or in other words don't have fun for the first 100 miles.

 

Damn not driven for 10 months than not bein able to boost for 100 miles is gonna be pretty hard.

 

Youll have to drive the flat spots out of your tires after sitting that long

 

I planned on getting new tires...I had a little fun with her before I left so theres not much left of whats on there.

 

you dont have to wait 100 miles before getting into boost,thats just retarded. Just put some fresh gas in,drive it around normally for a few miles and you should be good.

 

Negative. Any current DOT radial will not develop flatspots. Unless your car is sitting on slicks, or possibly even drag radials you will never develop flat spots. Filling the tire up with air pressure will make them brand new.

I have two talons that sit from Oct-April. Two tires are always flat and I just fill them up, and away I go.
