Default civic towing a....civic

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
