Better hope ur seals are good. I knew of a kid that has a type r motor in his 4th gen that sat in his garage for almost 2 1/2 years and his engine leaks cause of bad seals.

fuel has Sta-bil in it... so it should be ok and start right up, i've always had a good experience when i used that for putting it down for the winter... and yeah tranny fluid will go and brake is likely...
and yeah the engine is def. staying the in car, it runs its just sat... and i've occassionally been out to start it up and let it run... no leaking oil, no burning oil, just running really really rich (backfiring actually) prolly b/c it has sat for so long, i'm just gonna have to see if it still runs that rich after a tune up and running around on the highway... thanks for the input guys
