I had the Fast Fit tow bar installed on my car this week and I am very happy with the job done. The price as previously posted is $490 wired and installed.

The load rating on the tow bar is 1200kg and 80kg on the ball.

For those that were at the Stagea meet up at Rhodes a few weeks back you may have seen a tow bar installed on Damo's car. That is what I had installed. When you see it from the outside it looks like is is only the tongue bolted to the wheel well but there is a brace across the back of the car.

I was very impressed with the way they pulled the car apart to install it and then put it back together. A very professional outfit that I would recomend to any one.

Any way have a look at the pics for your self.

Pic 1. Installed behind the bumper.

Pic 2. Bumper back on and all wired. (and removable tongue)

Pic 3. Nice and neat with a shin guard.

Cheers

Andy

Do they happen to do a bigger load rating? i'm after something that will eventually tow the gtr.. perhaps on a light weight braked trailer tho...

and i could have sworn that we all did buy a Volvo!!

No, 1200kg is the highest they have. go have a talk to them as if you want to pay for it they may be able to work out how to do it.

How was the snow?

Cheers

Hi guys, well the tow bar is a goer!

I had a tonne of crushed granite in my trailer today with no issues whatsoever. :laugh:

Andy, your photos were interesting, looks like a very neat job under the bodywork. My assumption was a bit wrong.

prob get my mates who will do the dump to make the tow setup, 70% of their work is usually custom stuff rather than exhausts.. but i think its a while off. i cant be bothered looking at the gtr at the moment and only need to tow it when the time comes around..

the snow was good, a bit patchy in places off the groomed, rocks and the like sticking out, and then 10cm of fresh over them rocks wasnt fun either.....

The new boots were a bit stiff and sore for the first day.. the dump this week should sort it out real good.. cant wait for the weekend now!

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
