Re: civic tow rig

What kind of hitch you got on there? And what is its max capacity?

Whats wrong with a civic pulling a CRX? Once I get my hatch going again its pulling my civic race car to the track. People can laugh all they want for 2 reasons: 1) Gas mileage vs a truck 2)Have been using a 4 cylinder Dodge Dakota to pull the race car, it has less HP, slightly more torque than the b18a1 I'm putting in the hatch.

Yes torque makes a difference, but if you put both of the Civics weights together, they only weigh 900 lbs more than the truck alone. The hatch shouldn't have as much problems as the truck does

its a draw-tite made hitch. got it through u-haul. i think its good for 2000lbs. the trailer loaded w/ the quad is only 650lbs.

the factory paint isnt too bad but it doesnt look as good as it does in this pic. i think it was the bright sunlight at the time. not bad for original though.

Re: civic tow rig

That's a sweet hatch. I like the rims. I bet they're very light. Use some Armoral car cleaner and it'll make your hatch shine all the time. Just a cap full or so in a bucket of water does the trick...

yes, uhaul can get most vehicles a hitch. theyre motivated to sell. but theyre mostly dumbasses working in there. i recommend installing yourself. i punked out and let them install mine, came back and the rear interior piece had all its mounting tabs broken off. they did this with the wiring install. ah well, live and learn.
