Thinking of getting a small covered trailer (like you see being pulled by motorcycles) to carry some **** for track events (ie tires, tool box, canopies, kegerator). Was wonder what you all think abou this and if anybody has done it?

 

with a reg Integ I read somewhere you can tow up to 1000 lbs but in the same book (not sure which) maybe the owners manual, they reccomend against it. Why I have no idea, maybe the clutch would die quick???

Ya can't just borrow a car or rent?

 

Check with ITR#231. I believe he has a tow hitch on his R.

 

Lots of people tow track equipment with ITRs. You should be well under 1000lbs with a small trailer for tires, jack, etc. I tow our boat (1500lbs?) for short trips with our GSR and it has no trouble whatsoever.

 

Na, need to bring the R to the track event and also bring tools and parts. This is mainly for expo (and any other out of state event where I have to back everything and then some).

 

I can fit everything I need for a track event in the hatch. Just fold down the rear seats and you now have a fast station wagon. I fit the 4 wheels, Rubbermade box with everything else (jack, tq. wrench, tools, etc.), a cooler, air tank, folding chairs, helmet, and my luggage. Then I even have the passanger seat.

By the way, if a Miata can tow a trailer then the ITR will not have a problem.

I've been using this for a little while now, and it makes my life much easier. Racing, for me, is all about fun, and anything that makes setup and tear-down faster is in my book. I used to put everything in my car, but it took a while, and I had to remove all of it after the event when I was dog tired. Now I just pull the trailer in and leave it for a few days until I get around to unloading it. Very nice. Here's a pic:

What kind of tires are those? Looks really bald or maybe just the pic.

 

Ha! Those are race tires. Either BFG R1's or Khumo Victoracers by the look of them.

 

The R with a trailer looks funny....
Allthough it Does beat the hell out of cramming dirty tires inside the car!

 

haha..well said

 

it...it just doesn't seem right....

 

FWIW, There is at least 1 good quality hitch assembly that fits the R without drilling any holes. If it would help, I can look up the name for you.

Also, I recollect that the Integra actually comes with a 'built-in' wiring harness for a trailer. There was supposed to be a short 'whip' hidden behind the plastic panels in the trunk area, never saw it though.

Kumho V700s.

 

I'm thinking something like this:


As it would totaly suck to have a tool chest full of water by the time i get to expo.

 

Damn that would look tiite with some chrome 20" dubz

 

Just found out the price for the trailer... around 3500 bones... fawk that, guess i'm packing the back of the R

 

Mine is made by "hidden hitch," and now that I have removed the stickers you can barely see it. I didn't have to drill anything. It fit perfectly, was lighter than I anticipated, and stays out of sight. And there IS a built-in wiring harness for a trailer. All I did was buy an adapter for like $10 so that it would just clip in. No cutting, wiring, or anything. 30 sec. install

$3500 for that trailer!!! Damn. Mine was only $220, but it wouldn't look as good on 20"s

And yea, they're V700's. They actually have a lot of life left.
