Question about Long Term Storage

I'm about to store my (completely stock) '95 Rx-7 for about 2 years. It won't be driven (or probably even started) during this time.

Does anyone have any recommendatios on what preparation I need to do before I put it up and what needs to be done before it can be driven again?

I'm mostly looking for advice specific to the rotary engine or the Rx-7.

My inquiries so far have met with answers ranging from "just keep the battery charged" to "the rotary will be trashed, you should just sell it"...

Any advice or referrals to helpful information will be most appreciated.

drain the gas tank
change the fluids
remove the battery from the car
put the car on stands (to prevent tires from "flat-spotting")

I'm sure there's more to do, use the search function.

Agreed, I would also pull the plugs, and squirt some oil or some other type of lubricant into the rotor housings. Then turn the motor over. Then reinstall the plugs.
