My trunk lid is different and no spoiler

Thanks everyone for telling me a little more about my "find".

Yesterday was a sad day. I called the insurance company and placed it in storage mode. It's now sitting in my garage all warm and cozy under cover till spring. I didn't even get a chance to run around with the top down this year 'cuz I bought it so late in the season. But it'll get used a lot next year come spring.

BTW, I love blue too. When I went to go see it for the first time, I thought it was black from the pictures but when I pulled up in the driveway and saw that it was Blue, that is what sealed the deal.

While in storage, should I start the engine about once a month, let it get to normal engine temp and rev up the engine a couple of times to get the oil splashed around a bit, mostly to give the IMS seal a good coating of oil on the inside?

Welcome to the forum and congrats on a beautiful find! Of course I am partial to blue as well

Here is a link to some storage tips and a simple search will find you many more. What ever you do, DO NOT start the car unless you are going to drive it!

Don't start it until spring. It's hard enough on an engine to start it dead cold with no oil left on the cylinder walls - to do it 4 or 5 times is punishment.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum. Beautiful car and great kit.

As was said before, do not start the car unless you're going t drive it. And, put her on a battery tender. I have used the cigarette lighter adapter on a Porsche CTEK successfully for the past six years.
