That's pretty awesome.
Making the car work for your needs is what it's about. |
@ NUBBS: any problems so far?
@ FOOBAR: no hitch; UHAUL says maybe Oct/Nov & say if you drive to Phoenix they'll fabricate a prototype FREE |
Well I'm not waiting.

Got a scrap yard hitch off a 97 Toyota van, cut the frame mounting ends from it, drilled holes through it to bolt to 2 eyebolt/towhooks from scrapped WRXs.
It's at my powder coater now. |
Just have to figure out where to connect the brake lights to the trailer wiring, the turn signals and running lights are done.
|
Nice that is exactly what I'm hoping to do over the winter, but I have some friends who can weld so I may have to commission them to help with the assembly...

I can see it now towing my Go Kart to the track with my FRS
like this. http://www.pbase.com/pb12/image/55719732/large.jpg |

The Yakima roof rack (with ends of bars cut off) is functional & my bike is happy on it. The esthetics po-lees have not pulled me over yet.

I bought a SeaSucker rack a month or so ago. It works flawlessly. I've driven from Toronto to Ottawa (4.5 hours) doing 130km/hr almost the entire way with no issues at all. Takes a few minutes to install and 30 seconds to remove.
I can't stand the look of these clunky racks on top of a sports car. I'd be afraid of scratching the paint. |

Looks sweet.
Just wondering how much the total cost of the rack and whatever other components needed ran you OP? ...also, if you don't mind pointing me in the direction that you found all of that stuff? Thanks in advance |
I believe in the owners manual it says that this car is NOT to be used for towing. Must be a reason why they'd write that in there.......:iono:
That set-up above on Looker is a lawsuit waiting to happen when that mishmash comes apart. Tow hooks are not designed to be used as a tow hitch attachment point.... From page 222 of the BRZ owners manual: SUBARU does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed for trailer towing. |
