Hi Guys,

I've been looking around at towbars for the soarer and I'm having trouble finding one that's going to be able to tow about 1500kg. I have an MR2 that I'd prefer to be able to two to track events rather then drive. I was wonderinf if anyone has had anything made up that would be able to do this? I remember reading a while back that someone had it done with the towbar also attatched to the rear subframe mounts. Any advice or experience here would be greatly appreciated.

how much are the tow bars looking at costing you.

might work out cheaper just to buy a piece of poo (commodore, falcon) car with a tow bar and use that for towing.

maybe give some people like this a call

Thanks Shane,

Pricing isnt too much of a concern, more the suitability and capability of a TT being able to tow a good 1500kg.

Transcooler is being installed shortly which will help. Might need to pop around a couple local places and get a quote. As for getting a commodore I already have two rego's and will only be towing 4-6 times a year
