Hey guys,
I've recently bought a 180sx with the intention of getting it out onto the track. It's registered, but not very street friendly, plus it lives at my parents house, so needless to say it gets driven at most once a fortnight and for 30min tops (ignoring track days).
My question is what can I do to maintain this car when it is rarely driven?
It is my understanding that fuel can go stale, how long does this take?
Should I keep the bare minimum fuel in the car and fill it up as I use it?
My father told me that it's better to have a full tank than to keep partially filling as it keeps everything cleaner, running smoother, etc.
Should I keep a full tank and just throw an octane booster or something into it if it's been a while?
I've currently got the battery on a trickle charger, is this okay or am I better off just disconnecting it completely.
Are there any other issues I should be aware of, like the tyres sitting on the same spots for up to 4 weeks straight?
Is there any other advice you can give? Any thing I should or shouldn't be doing when I take it on its fortnightly drives?
Sorry for the noob questions, I just want to ensure I'm doing everything I can to keep the 180 running at its best.
Thanks.
