I have a 1983 RX-7 GSL that I am thinking about putting in storage. A friend has offered to let me use a corner of his warehouse. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to prep my car for long term storage? Is it even a good idea to do it?

You're not the Haltech Injection Tuner man. I guess he's not a member of this site.
How long are you planning on storing it? |
- keep the windows up
- fill the gas tank - remove the battery - 1.5 teaspoonsful of oil down each throttle bore - turn the engine by hand through 3-4 revolutions - run some Marvel's Mystery Oil through your oil a few days before you actually stop driving it - you can also keep the tires off the ground personally, i don't think storing it is as big a deal as what you do when you go to take it out of storage. whenever you go to start it: - turn the engine by hand again through a few revoultions, if it does stick DO NOT force it through ... turn it in reverse instead - bring new plugs with you - change the oil after it starts - take it easy (no high RPM escapades) until you have run the stored fuel out of the tank |
To Jeff20B, I plan to store it indefinitely. I've been told it is worth about $1000 and I really don't need the money, but I do need the garage space. I love the car, but with 2 small children and 1 on the way I just never get time to drive it.

So wait... if your not planning on driving it anymore, does this mean your considering selling it? because if so please PM me with some details.. I'm considering a 1st gen for my daily driver...
