Why would you possibly need to store it for 2 years. I would start having RX-7 withdrawals.

But here is a site that should help:

I take it you are in the military and going overseas. If this is so take it home the military will pay for it.

I stored mine for 4 years due to a military move overseas with few ill effects. I washed and waxed it before storage and put a car cover on it. I also cleaned the engine and soaked it with WD-40. I'd put a gas stabilizer in the tank. I changed the oil (synthetic) before storage. I plugged the tailpipe and intakes with towels. The tires cracked in the tread but held air. Yes, I should've put it up on blocks but didn't. Don't ask me how the tires held air and didn't ruin my expensive Fikse rims....I can't explain it. I didn't attempt to start it myself. I had it towed to a repair shop: they drained the gas and put in new gas. They changed the plugs, battery and oil. I didn't do anything to the interior - no dessicant and the interior was just like I left it with no moisture. I stored mine in an outside stall in a clean storage facility located in a dry, cold area away from the woods. I put a sh*tload of mothballs inside the stall hoping that would keep the animals away. No critters got in but it wasn't due to the mothballs...they desolved into nothing!!! If I had the choice, I'd pick a climate controlled building. But, it cost too much and I didn't trust the company....
