i have 2 4drs...
can i put a trailer hitch on one and trailer another civic(all 4wheels) not a 2 wheel dolly? or will this "a car towing a car" not work
is this depending on the engine in the towing vehicle?

FAIL!!!! j/k it would prob work, but u really wouldn't want to tow it far like that. What motor does the car have that will b doing the towing? I had to tow my hatch with my 4dr teg once and it wasn't that bad

rick_rabies

it has a jdm d15b, im trying to source a cheap ls motor. cus the other 4dr is a track car. sounds funny huh?

get a friend and a chain so you dont have the extra weight of a trailer. The 89 crx in my sig pulled the 90 crx home one night lol

You can tow with a D15b. My friend towed me home with his Hundai Accent that has like 120HP and 95lb of TQ. I've got a 97 Coupe. just get some Tow Ropes.

rick_rabies

no...im not talking about pulling it with ropes, im talking about a 4wheel trailer for the car to park on..and be taken to a track 4 hours away. i guess i have to just try. in the long run i just dont want to burn out the cars brakes, etc.

Get an EW4. It came in the CRX Si, so it has to be powerful. haha

rick_rabies

what was the ew4? the little d14?

Jimster480

well towing with ropes has to be harder on the car no? just dont stop too fast lol.

rick_rabies

yeah towing with ropes would be for like just getn a car home cuz it died. im talking about long trips to tracks. so i needs a bseries engine....

thumper64

It was like a D15, but the head has differently shaped ports. I guess the would be like the mentally challenged parents of the less mentally challenged D series we have now.

rick_rabies

oh yeah that motor. thats what juicedcrx has in his crx with nos.

i was in the same situation
just picked up an 1989 f150 in great shape (considdering) for $700 ha ha
shop around and you can find old work trucks cheep
or like my case, a recently devorced woman that won the truck in the devorce
and just wanted it gone ha ha

Jimster480

it should be fine to tow it. If you get a B series get a B20 for the TQ, it will help with the towing and its cheap.

I don't care what you do OP, but when you do it, I want pictures haha.

rick_rabies

fo sho. i live by you, you can come and watch and laugh at me trying to hook up a trailer to a rusted compact car

TheCivicMafia

Well, put it this way. U haul wouldnt let me tow a Motor-less shell of a 2 door coupe with my prelude...

So i wouldnt advise it.


Sorry just read this, Trailer pulling 4 hours away. Say goodbuy to the car towing this. It wont last 10 trips.

1988_96hb

I want pics of this too

95jeremie

just buy a bull **** truck and your good to go
damn

rick_rabies

chil jerms
i just traded my truck for this civic.

thumper64

I'll sell you the truck back. haha. By the way, if you come across some steel to build a bumper, let me know.

95jeremie

well that was smart... so now your going to tow it with your other civic and blow the motor / tranny in it... than what will you drive?
don't get me wrong it will work for a few. but not a long term solution. and you just traded away your long term solution...
didn't think this one through did ya ha ha

rick_rabies

i did think it through, now get out.
thumper. bridgway has the same generation tacoma with that same bumper in good shape so does hickory grove. billy at bridgway would prolly sell you that bumper cheap.

thumper64

Ah, haven't been down there. Bolting a stock piece up isn't any fun though...

95jeremie

sorry man i din't mean to hurt your feelings
I'm out
