I thinking I'm being too picky but do want to make sure I don't end up costing myself more.
Found a parking space for storage at a reasonable price; it is indoor, underground but not heated also no plug for battery tender which I expected.
What holds me back a bit is that the space is not flat... Not a lot but half of it is flat or close to (the front half) but the other half is sloping down slightly by about 1 to 2 degrees a believe.
Any concerns parking in such a small slop for 4 to 5 months? Would it add extra stress to the spring, tires, etc...?
Thanks!

 

You're good regarding the slope but your battery will be dead when you go get it in the spring without a tender.

 

Take the battery out and keep it nice and warm and charged in your home. When spring comes, re-install, turn the key and you are off. Maybe a little fuel stabilizer just to be safe.

 

Do the car electronics act up if you remove battery for extended period of time?

Any how do you open trunk if battery is disconnected?

thx!

 

Electronics shouldn't act up but you will ned to reset your D&P window up position...not hard and it's in your manual.

I would but fuel stabalizer...I use Sta-Bil and it's on sale right now at Canadian Tire.

 

If you are concerned about the slope put some blocks (bricks) behind the wheel and let the car slide, then put in in gear or park.

 

I use these to stop the tires from flat spotting. They really work, a little Sta-Bil and you're good to go.

I just saw these on Amazon but there are plenty of choices.

Thanks for the info. Planning to disconnect the battery and keep it charged with a tender at home. manual has some instruction on how to open up the hood in the spring. Expecting some memory to be lost with the battery gone for months, most are no big deal just loosing the addresses in NAV would suck...

 

Did unheated covered storage when I had the Boxster. It's hard on the battery therefore good idea to remove it. Now I drive my '05 C2 year round and love it. Pirelli Sottozero 240s go on this Saturday for the crazy season. Hope the snow wont be as brutal as the rainfall has been the past few weeks...

 

all storage units have rodents, i am afraid to leave car there for any period of time. they will eat it up, literally.

 

wow, i need to make some of that flat spot thing. $240 is a lot

 

I just inflate the tires as indicated in the manual and move the car a few inches every month. I also use a battery tender, an indoor cover and a mouse trap on the floor at each wheel. Finally, I fill the fuel tank and add the stabilizer at 50% recommended level ( for only four months).

 

I use four 2ft x 1ft sections of high pile carpet...and I find it works great. I've never had problems with flat spots in 15 years. I have heard other folks using rectangles of hi-density styrofoam insulation....and that apparently works as well.

 

I asked my Service Advisor about fuel stabilizer and he said No Sta-Bil, the fuel system is too sensitive. Just over inflate tires by around 10lbs. I use porsche battery charger so I leave the battery in car never had an issue.

 

Are you the gentleman that sells the jack point inserts for the GTR? If so could you please contact me at: alinjack@shaw.ca

I would like to purchase four of them. Thank you.
