finally the car gets the treatment it deserves...i just put it in storage today after a very intense wash and wax lol. its a 10x20 and the car fits perfectly. im glad it wont have to sit outside all winter. i also got a beater car for the winter. things are finally looking up!

since i washed and waxed it for the last time of the year i thught i would take some pics and post them on here.


Fueling up for the last time with Stabil :

final picture

 

Yeah mine went in the garage a couple weeks ago . Pics look good though. What are you driveng for the winter?

 

Looks very nice.
I just put mine away last week. So, its sitting in my 2.5 car garage and I am changing the brakes on my Kia Junk......then I am carrying my jack stand and walking around my camaro. Then like an idoit I tip the jack stand a little bit and the rod falls out of the jack stand and on the the hood of my Iroc. $%#@ !!! So, now I am have a 1/2 circle on my hood missing paint, no dent really. Oh well, ad that to my **** that needs to be fixed on the body.
Anyways I saw your post and thought I would vent about my brain fart today.........so be careful around your stored baby. -Nick.

 

do you guys have any storage tips? so far ive disconnected the battery, used Stabil, plugged the exhaust pipes with rags so animals dont get in there, fabric softener sheets in the interior, and Damprid

ha so u wanna see what im driving this winter... 1999 hyundai accent (nickname "hyundai accident" ), 5 speed, hatchback. i get 35-40 mpg in this thing! yeah its junk but its a beater car, it doesnt matter

 

Wow, big difference in cars! That's a good idea about the dryer sheet, I may do that. Mine is in my garage though so I'll still be in and out of it doing more mods.

Damn thats nice and clean. To bad it has to go hibernate for the winter I need to pick up a beater for the winter soon.

 

Good job, car looks NICE:-)

Get some painters plastic or a tarp for the floor to keep the moisture from rising.

Also overinflate the tires and/or get them off the ground.

later

I would remove the battery and keep it someplace warm so it wont freeze and ruin the battery if the specific gravity gets low.

 

there is no winter in Laguna Hills California lol....


i didnt put a tarp down so im gonna go back there and do that. the awesome thing is that the facility is less than a 10 minute walk from my house! i can check on it every day if i want

 

lol true, but i snowboard and i dont really feel very comfortable driving my camaro up to the mountains

 

HAHAHA......yall have a winter have fun with that j/king!!! Winter around here is about a month long and it might snow an inch a year...MAYBE!! This is when we really start doing some racing.

 

ugh, mines been in since the first week of sept......

 

That thing looks fresh off the factory floor. I'll be putting mine away soon too, this being my first winter away from mine, i dunno if i can hold up.

 

Lookin good...man I wish I could store mine for the winter

 

Looks good bro.....

Also, try some laundry detergent inside the car. Just place a cup full (Tide) on the floor, it's kind of like using baking soda for the icebox.

 

thanks for the comments and tips guys

 

id put some cardboard on the floor. Don't need it rotting from the ground up.
You need something to absorb the moisture from the changing temps.

 

my garage wont fit my car, so i found some lady that i pay 50 bucks a month to store the car, it will be good! oh heres my winter beater, 91 nissan stanza

 

mines been covered since june


but your car is sexy my car is gay

 

i dont think a car with a 406 is gay

 

rwd - looks nice. I read somewhere that stuffing ***** of aluminum foil in the intakes and exhausts is better than rags, since mice can't chew through the metal as easy. JM02

 

rats can chew through just about anything, it just may take them a little longer

 

Goodbye!!

Looks really good. Just check on her often to make sure that you don't have rodents living and tearing her apart. If you live in a cold climate, then you really need to watch for this.

HA Ha , I know what your talking about from personal experience. My brother had one for the winter and the front right upper control arm snapped and he went into a small ditch on the side of the road. He was fine though, nothing wrong with him. I live in New york and there is no storage for my car, it's more like whoever drives through the most snow and comes back alive wins. I bet you will be happy to take the cover off and drive her in the spring. Cool car by the way.

 

hey rwd it looks really good the paint is beautiful on your car! and i really like that 4th pic. you wanna send it to me? my e-mail is maroon88iroc@yahoo.com

it sucks about putting it away i am lucky that i dont have to do that here in GA

 

This thread makes me sad.... Car looks beautiful by the way.

 

x 10. Dang winter.

 

Maybe it prefers other 406 third gens?

Sounds like a Jeep or little truck would suit you nicely. I live up in the Sacramento area and still drive my f-bodies in the rain. Winter means I just drive them a little less....on dry days I still go to the local road course with the race car. Just bundle up a little more!

 

I can't wait til I have a chance to put it away for the winter. Mine seems to have gone into hibernating last fall and has yet to come back out. Maybe it's getting an Extreme Makeover??

 

^^^^^ You stole my avatar for your sig

 

LOL, Actually I ripped the pic out of a magazine and scanned it. (better resolution) You should be flattered! Also, I think I ran across a pic I took of your car last year. Power Tour - So. Beloit Gas Station???? Didn't realize it was you then though. I'll be changin my sig often though now that I know how to do em . Sorry to get off topic. No doubt, yours is tucked away.

 

Wow, some of you guys must have been having some shitty weather. The IROC sits in the garage and is driven occasionally on the nice days. I drive the RS everyday and unfortuately it's my winter car as well. Here's a pic.

 

here are pictures of my baby, she is asleep now.

Just one more

 

i have a shirt with that pic on it front and back. its my fav. shirt!

 

I live in Pa & we have our share of crummy winter weather but i take mine out during those bright sunny dry winter days. I couldn't go all winter without driving her.

 

Woah!! Don't think I've seen your car before. Must have more pics!!

 

^^ jesus christ that car is beautiful!!! more pictures please...looks to be a real Z03 also!

Ive been on a beater search for over the past 2 months now...im picky and i cant save enough money for something i really want to drive. I refuse to slave my car through another winter...it just isant happening...i have a place to rest the car so now its just time to find a better daily driver.

 

heh there were so many cars at that station it was crazy lol, had to stop though for the restroom ., maroon88iroc I actually scanned the shirt I bought on the power tour with that pic and made my avatar out of it
And ya cars been in for awhile they are even callin for snow tonight

 

I just finished the engine last summer so its got about one year on the motor. Its a 355 4-bolt main. lots of " go fast goodies" over the winter its getting the c5 brake kit, and possibly a t56 swap.
