Starting up after a few months.
Hey,
This is the closest forum I could think of for this question.
About 6 months back my FPR failed, and with my work hours I hadn't gotten around to fixing it. Now I'm getting around to it, and before I fire up my '90 TA (or well, at least try to - 305TPI, 4L60) what should my concerns be before doing so?
As I said it's been about 6 months, maybe 7, and in that time it hasn't run (obviously) or even moved.

Charge the battery.
If you see any fluids on the floor underneath it, fill whatever it is back up. Check tire pressure.
Other than that, not too much else. Expect the ride to be REAL lumpy until the tires have gotten fully heated up by acoupla long drives.
