While not required, isn't ethanol-free gas better to put in the tank for storage as well as stabilizer?
Also, I swear I had to get a bigger/different tender for my STI battery than the smaller one I have for my sport bike.

For those that have never had a container before. If you ever get one, pay extra for a new one(aka one tripper). It'll be mouse proof and rust free. The two lap rubber gaskets are tight.. But you need to build a solid foundation to keep em that way. Dig a 3 foot hole at each corner and fill it with 2-5" stone. Then put flat pavers on the stone to support the container. Never put containers on dirt or let anything other than the corners support the weight. Level it front to back perfectly but pitch just it a bit to one side for roof drainage.
Needed to crawl out of the trunk but it has a foot on either side so I can access the engine just fine. What's a cheap cover that fits the wrx? salt free so far Last edited by segerton; 11-03-2019 at 07:35 PM. |

I would definitely put Stabil360 in the tank before storage. I bought the latest small Battery Tender the other day. Thing is like 1/2 the thickness of the ones I have on my cars. Pretty cool. |

OP: "Should I start my car during the winter..."
The entire front page ignoring the only question asked: Why store your car? What about your container? Mouse proof? I don't believe you, prove it!!!!!!!!! Stay classy NASIOC. Do your thing OP. You've got a nice car and the means to keep it that way. |

There should be some sort of internet rule where you can't say what you think about something. I think Twitter just put that in place. AOC tweeted something that made less than no sense right after and it crashed their whole system. |

To avoid odours, you will need something to eat the moisture, like large silica packs or "Damp Trap".
I have been storing my 2009 STI every winter since it was new. I just let it sit all winter and keep the battery charged. This will be its second year in a humidity controlled, heated garage. Last year I didn't use anything on the inside to keep the humidity down and you could smell it after a few months. I put in some large silica packs in February and the car was smelling nice and fresh in the spring. |

your welcome
I couldn't sleep last night thinking of your car not having an oil change pre storage I guess I'm the only one seeing the irony in wanting to store away your car for 3-5 months to keep salt from touching it, but not wanting to spend 15 minutes doing an oil change first |

This is a good idea. For some reason these WRXS like to collect condensation in the rear window. Like a boat. |

How about the battery? Now that I know not to start it, should I take it inside the warm house for the winter?
