This is my first year with my celi and I have planned putting it away in the winter and would like as many tips as possible from you guys. I highly appreciate it.


Thanks.

DO NOT start it every once in a while if youre temps are below freezing. You're going ot cause condenstaion build up.
Park it with stabilizer in the gas, use engine fogger before parking, remove the battery and don't start it until after winter.

I personally store mine on a set of crappy tires that arent driveable. Apparently over inflating your tires helps keep them from flat spots.
Use bounce sheets in the bay inside the car and around the car to keep animals away and throw steel wool/rag/sometihng to plug the exhaust so animals don't crawl in and make a nest.

I usually change the oil before sotage with some crappy cheap oil, and then change it again in spring (not neccesary, but thats what I do)
I store mine outside, and prefer to not use a cover, as Im affraid the wind will blow and scratch the car, so I just let the snow sit on the car all winter. Occasionaly brushing some off, but not all. Been doing this for three or four years now with no issues.
