Default coming out of storage?

I wanted to know if there was anything that needs to be done when I take my S out of storage from the winter time...

I would like to know anything at all on what I possibly need to do at this time...I plain on taking it out very soon if the weather holds up!

The only thing I can think of at the moment is the change the oil and check for bald spots on the tires...I did disconnect the batter when I but it up...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks in advance

Check all your fluids, not just your tire air. I'm talking about coolant, brake, clutch and if you can, look under the car to make sure there was no seepage from the diff and tranny (check these if you are able). Check the torque on the spark plugs. Don't rev it too high till all the fluids get a chance to circulate (maybe no more than 3-4000 rpm during the "3 bar" warmup stage. While you're under the car, silicone spray all the rubber boots on the half shafts and the steering rods. I wouldn't worry too much about flat spots on the tires but next time you store the car, just pump them up to at least 40#'s and/or park with tire on a thick piece of carpet. You might discover new squeeks so you might want to white lithium greese things like door hinges and strikers, also hood and trunk. Do the silicone grease on the soft top rubber seals.

You're welcome and another thing. If you didn't put in fuel stabilizer last fall when the got put away, now's the time to put in a bottle of fuel injector cleaner just in case there is a bit of varnish buildup on the injector tips.
