Tow Bars for Stageas

[mxfly]

Thanks for the info Stag250

I suppose I will get my local guy to design and engineer a bar for me.

MXfly if you are in Sydney i wiillet you know how I get on, maybe you can save on design etc.

Thanks Murray,

Or even better, I am happy to split the costs with you in the design, engineering, etc. Pm me when you're ready to go ahead and we can work something out

Hi All

I am trying to have a towbar fitted to my M35.

The towbar designer needs to know the GVM (gross vehicle mass) of an M35.

This is something that is on the rego papers of most vehicles, not on mine however.

I have the weight of the car unloaded on my papers.

The GVM is the max loaded weight. eg 1600kg + 500kg load.

Any help is appreciated.

Take the car to a public weighbridge, it only cost me about $50 to get the car weighed for rego.

It is listed as 1720kg on this web page.

Hi Murray

Car is going really well. Just had new sway bars fitted and new bilstein springs and shocks go in next week. Can't wait.

I got it through North Shore Prestige. The car is pretty much stock but for the suspension upgrades.

How did you go with the towbar?

Cheers

Go to your local state Tip "rubbish Dump" Use their weighbridge for free .... LOL I did

I drove up and asked her for a price list to drop off rubbish and whilst I was at the window looked at the weight then left. Not 100% accurate but pretty darn close 99%

what suspension are people using to tow a car trailer and car with their S2 stagea's???

is anyone using standard suss? if so any problems?

cheers

[Duncan]

mine is series 1 not too, but the standard stuff was too soft (drooped at the rear). I put in sydneykid's springs and shocks in on the highest setting (about stock height) and its pretty good. still low at the rear when it is loaded but much better than stock (and I wouldn't go any harder in suspension since its a daily driver)

duncan is there any chance you could post up a cuple of pics of your tow bar on the car and a pic of your car trailer. i am about to start building my own trailer and tow bar to tow my s13 race car around. i preety much have my plans made up for my trailer but i read through this post and it was mentioned that you have stabliser bars. as i plan to tow long distance i thought these might be a good idear. any info links or pics whould be good. who built your trailer in the first place?

thanks

[Duncan]

nope that's gary with the stabiliser bars - I've been meaning to fit some but never got around to it. trailer is homemade special. but have done a fair bit of testing with the race car at different points on the trailer to find the best balance.

will try and get some detailed pics on the weekend - bump the thread on friday

[kidafa]

just wondering if anyone in Adeliade has had a bar fitted or a car with one.... Not looking to tow anything really heavy just a trailer with 1 or 2 the motorcross bikes, small speed boat and sometimes the bike rack with the downhill bike, so it really doesnt have to be that overly built??

Cheers in advance,

chris

Same here. Would be interested to get one fitted on my S2

[Jnr]

I rang Max in ACT and spoke to him about his towbars.

He has a jig and is happy to build and transport a 2000kg towbar to anywhere.

The price is $560+ frieght.

As mentioned before this is his design and rating you will need to get the towbar localy fitted and certified.

Does anyone have details to get hold of max? ive had a quick glance through the thread and couldnt see anything

Cheers

[Duncan]

I only dealt with him by email [email protected]

[Jnr]

ok cheers for that. Its a starting piont

[Terminal]

I have his phone number at home, i can get it for you tonight.

[Scotsman]

I just ordered one and got quoted $625 plus delivery.

Have prices gone up?

[Terminal]

I got mine for $650 fitted. I'm not sure how much the individual bar is without fitment, but you could imagine postage not being cheap, they're not light.
