Wouldn't the car absolutely bake in the summer? I don't have one myself but I'd guess that the airflow would be more than you'd get in a very hot garage and generally. I'm pretty sure they are for indoor use anyway, not really outdoors it seems from reading their website. I used to worry about my car being in a cold or damp garage over winter etc but tbh after 4 kits and many years I've not really had many issues.

eggontoast Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Thanks @Flying Carrot Steve. What issues have you experienced? My (new to me this May) car is on the drive as it's the only current option & I'm quite concerned about corrosion over the winter. The brake discs are already looking pretty orange after ~3 weeks without driving. Happy to take this to DM or another thread, if appropriate, considering the topic of this one. To bring us back to topic here's mine, as ended up yesterday, waiting for the shocks to come off and go back to Nitron for service after one allowed all of its oil escape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad idea, I was wanting to ask more on this, but wrong thread on which to do it, I'll start one in Tech Talk.👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None with the Westie, had a bit of alloy powdery corrosion on another kits fuel tank but not much else tbh. I am of the opinion that most worries about keeping cars over the winter never really materialise into much if anything. It does depend upon how dry your garage is of course.

Mine is under a cover on the driveway, so no garage and hence why the discs have gone orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euan Hoosearmy Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Haven't been in the garage for a few days... went in last night and found this.
