Prescription leaving in Garage

I was reading some articles and online hear about winterizing my 7, while reading I was curious to find out if my Fc3c should be fine if its in a nice sealed off garage i left it there in the end of the summer about middle of september( saving money to do nessasary mods just the basics tune-up, clutch, brakes,) engine was running great before i put it away. Is there any precautions that i should make before i start it up again in the spring. Oh amd like a dumbass i lost the key to it. Damn You good times !!!!!! but should be able to change ignition.

if you want you can put a little oil in the plug holes beore startup but this is not necessary. just check all of your fluids and make sure they're topped off.

You stole the car and are cooling it off during winter aren't you... :P

You should be fine putting a fuel stabilizer in the gas, changing the oil/filter, disconnecting the battery and making sure rodents don't move in to the interior.

A locksmith can make a new key for you without replacing the ignition assembly.
