Default Whats the best storage for rs cosworth?

Do you need to heat your garage?

Do you need to de humidify it?

Or should you just keep it away from the rain?

Is a carcoon necessary?

Love to hear your comments

not a cossie but the way i store my polo is in a single garage with a old carpit on the floor, in a carcoon and parked ontop of some of those tyre saver things!
also i put a small amount of oil down each cylinder and over fill the sump with about 2 extra liters of oil!

i normaly leave it like that for 6-12 months and every time i come back 2 it ive never had any problems!

hope that helps

does that not harm engine overfilling oil so much?
