In desperate need of either a car trailer with a winch, or a tip tow to move my stagea between 4pm and 6pm on wednesday 11th March.

Can anyone help me out?

I refuse to pay $90 for a tip tow or $80 for a hire trailer to move my car less than 4kms!!!!!!

yeah i thought that all cars from factory had 1 front and 1 rear tow hook??

if its only 4kms mate then it shouldnt be too bad

but peak hour traffic would be harsh as

it does have a towhook, but its well up under the front bumper and i dont feel like removing a bumper just to tow it. I just organised a tip tow for $50, but thanks guys!

true but a car trailer cant be to expensive?

Last time i hired one i beleive it was about $100 clams + the deposit but i could be wrong....

All suburbs towing is located like 3 minutes from here, and ironically on the way to where the car has to go.

they said $55 so i reckon thats alright :(

Shit yes thats a good price i'd be jumping on board with that!

+1 for all suburbs towing

i had my car towed by all suburbs towing for 18kms

and it only cost me $66

where as another company quoted me $127

plus the driver was a champ and took great deal of care in loading and unloading the car

yeah, all suburbs towing are rad. they came out and towed my magna when i killed it in noarlunga in '07, took a great deal of care loading and unloading it, even though it was showing it a shit load of disrespect. from the middle of noarlunga to craigmore only cost 200 clams.

yeah they are very competitive in pricing and their drivers do seem to know what customer service is all about

i have used them plenty of times before and will be using them in the future

i remember when my rear left wheel came off

it took them 2 hours to load and another 2 hours to unlaod

and all while taking great care in nothing scrapes etc

    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
