You should have thought of that earlier. Just put in a stock ECU and stock injectors with stock map sensor.

Flat spotting the tires? I don't know, just something I read.

That used to be a problem with bias ply tires, but with radials any flat spot that might occur will be gone by the time you are around the block. Remember, parking a car for winter is only 5 or 6 months, not years.

Yep! I fill the tank full and add the stabil stuff. You fill it full to keep the condensation down. I also change the tires for my shitty tires. I have the time to do this so it keeps the weather from cracking my summer tires. Thats just me though. 🙂

In addition, i stuff dryer sheets all over the car (interior and underhood) as apparently Mice hate the smell and won't go near a car. Otherwise Mice and other critters will figure your car is a pretty good place to setup shop for the winter. Debugging a wiring harness fault due to rodent activity is awful.

I also run some seafoam through it before i store it to get some moisture out of the lines and such.

I have never covered my cars, but i always use a clean garage. Yes stabil the red stuff, and fill the tank or moisture will be in the air inside it and rust your tank.

The motor is not running either. It is harder on the engine to start it every week or whatever.

Not really, if you really want to be safe, put some oil in the cylinders before starting it. Unplug the dizzy and turn it over to get oil flowing before starting it. A stock honda motor won't have problems being stored for awhile....

Wait until spring time and do the reverse
