Default Long term storage

Okay, this post is basically so I can just see my car on the net and share my setup with you guys! haha, I'm in Korea for year and there's potential that I may be in Austrailia for a year after that so I will be away from my car for longer. But to make this question somewhat on topic, what else should have I done to my car to prepare it for long term storage. I have disconnected the battery, put it on blocks, covered tailpipes, intake pipes and put in that fuel stabalizer ----. My car is in the backyard covered with a car cover and a couple of tarps. Did I forget anything?

And just so I can have some sort of communication with my baby, here's some pics and my setup:
t3/t04e turbo stage 3 wheel .63 exhaust housing .50 compressor.
2.5" downpipe and exhaust
deltagate wastegate
logstyle manny
uberdata
450 dsm injectors,
mac truck intercooler
aem intake with hks flange
hks "style" bov (haha, works well though)
a ---- load of autometer gauges
two slim fans mounted as pusher fans















The joys of driving in the countryside!!


And here's a clean pic of my car:



haha, just for nostalgia's sake, here's my very first setup almost 3 years ago!!






Man I miss driving! Taking the bus sucks ***!!

It would be nice if you had some one to turn it over every month or so, I dont like letting engines sit with the same valve spring compreesed or the pistons in the same spot if there is ANY mosture. I like to pull the plugs and put some oil in there to.

tarps are one of the worse things you could cover the car with, if you get *any* rain or precep at all, expect your car to be rusty when you get back. if the car cover is just fabric then just use that, that will allow it to breathe and dry out but even that wont be good for it becuase it will hold water and ---- against the paint...

i might invest in one of those car tents, i think there like 200 or somtin like that. also, put mothballs in the car. i store my car over the winter and i didnt do it last time. when i brought it out in the spring, somtin smelled real bad. i tore out my ENTIRE dash to find a family of dead mice. they crawled through my ac some how and got stuck down in there. it was a pain in the ***.
