	and probably a full stainless exhaust system unless he wants to splash out every year on the standard lot.

	how long a period of time are you talking for flat spots to occur?

	wtf? raised to stop tyres getting flat spots? tyres are a lot cheaper than a sagging chassis (depending on how he has raised it obviously). yeah a dehumidifier, temp won't affect it much as long as you have all antifreeze etc good. and grease up the battery terminals, some WD40 to drive any moisture out places like round suspension mounts.

	hmmm maybe im wrong then (was a long time ago) but i thought thats hat he said - think it was on scoobynet

	why drain the fluids from it? id make sure it had oil in it and antifreeze. stop moisture from building up in the engine and making it rot

	When storing a car in a garage what are good things to do? Asking for my mate. He has insulated the garage and now wondering if it will need a heater or a dehumidifier? Car is only going to be used in good weather so thats why it will be in storage most of the time. Will have a dust cover on it. Any other tips or advice for when storing a car? :wave:
