I guess you could consider this a mod as well. Not from today but it'll be done again friday

What hitch do you have and approximate weight of that setup? I am moving soon and only have the BRZ and a sportster.

[srizzors25]

I had the drawtite hitch but I'm going to return it because its a piece of crap. Install was a major pita. It came 2 inches too narrow for the frame rails, I called and asked what was up with that and they said that it happens you just have to stretch them out to fit. Good luck trying to bend 1/4-5/16 or whatever thickness plate that is 2 inches. got it to fit, but it was off center. Worked but you know not happy. Also couldn't use the front 2 exhaust hangers on the stock exhaust, didn't fit with my invidia n1 either.

Just bought one of the gen 1 uhaul hitches from a guy on here, putting that on Thursday thatll solve all my problems ha.

I'm told the hitch itself weighs about 18lbs, the reciever and ball probably like 2 lbs. The trailer is a harbor freight trailer which was about 250lbs. 1 plywood sheet I think around 30lbs. Wheel chuck maybe 7 lbs. the bike is somewhere around 370. Grand total is about 675 lbs. Car handles it well. Trailer is rated for 1000 lbs

I imagine the sportster is quite a bit heavier

Yeah, totally stock engine / cooling loop.

It was pretty damn rad. Went to Quail on Friday, the historics on Sat, and Pebble on Sunday. Quail and the historics were both a ton of fun. Pebble was really cool in the morning before maybe 11am-- after that so many people show up that it becomes a real pain to get anywhere or actually see more than one square foot of the cars at a time. I'm glad I went and experienced Pebble, but I think if I do car week again next year I'll give it a miss and just watch the historics again on Sunday.

The Quail was a ton of fun-- it's much less crowded than Pebble and has a more relaxed atmosphere. You can actually walk around without feeling claustrophobic and can oogle the cars much more freely. Also, the various manufacturer displays at Quail are open to everyone, which isn't the case at Pebble. There's a lot of roped-off areas and annoying gate-keepers at Pebble-- at the Quail you can walk up and sit in a 650S or drool on Bentley's GT3 car if you want to.

The historics are great-- it's lovely to see (and hear!) the cars in motion on a track, and the racing has plenty of serious competitors. Not everyone attacks the track, but each class generally has several drivers who really, really go for it-- it's fun watching classics drifting around every corner

I had a great time, and would definitely go again. Even the drive up was a ton of fun (I planned a route that only had me on the 101 between highway 154 and San Luis Obisbo). Awesome weekend.

@Ganthrithor WHOA! That's amazing! I appreciate the detailed feedback. I'm not crazy about venues that are so packed with people that they're no fun. I'm not the biggest car guy, so Pebble probably wouldn't interest me for the car show. Thanks so much! Hopefully we can meet up in person, possibly next year when I'm down there!

I went to the park strip in downtown Anchorage this weekend and my friend took some pictures with my camera while we were all playing. Here's one with my car.


Here's a pic a friend took a month ago by the railroad station.

Finally got around to installing my uber rare JDM exhaust LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS!

This exhaust is a little bit on the quiet side compared to my last two cat-backs (Greddy EVO 3 and ARK DT-S). I might have to throw on a catless front pipe to make it sound a bit louder.
