Is it true that AMS has fabbed up a trailer hitch to work with the Evo 8? Only to be used with lite towing of course?

yeah we welded up something for the event but it goes through the bumper where the liscense plate would be. not something we would ever sell.

When you guys get the car back, can you take pictures of it from under the car?

that be weird to see an evo hauling anything, but i guess it would work to carry some extra parts to the track if u dont have a truck to trailer the car, plus its always funner to drive your car to the track runs 12's or lower and drive it home

 

evo can tow upto 1000lbs. Here is my set-up. Been using it for 2 yrs. still on stock clutch!!!! I take it to the beach which is 220 miles one way!!

 

i cant say i would do that but to each his own

 

i was worried at first but 28,000 miles later which includes about 3 trips to the beach and alot of short trips (100 miles round trip) she is giving no problems and i also take her to the track alot!!

 

I used a modified lancer hitch.. Takes a bit of work since the bumper on the evo is quite a bit different, but wasnt impossible.


I did this when i moved to Cali.. Drove ~3K miles with the trailer on back.


Not that i would do this on a normal basis though.

 

So ... there's nothing to buy off the shelf that works ???

 

About a year ago there was a thread here where someone had fabricated a very slick hitch and was selling them. I almost bought one to haul tires to and from the track and then found that by removing the rear seat, just the seat not the back, I could get 4 wheels and tires plus two plastic containers on the floor beneath them. So that solved my problemas there was enough space left with the trunk to carry stuff for a 2 day event.

 

The AMS One Lap of America hitch. (we had to carry the license plate inthe rear window, i cant believe we didn't get pulled)

cant buy it off the shelf but i can get you one made like mine for around 200-225. its a custom hide-away hitch. you cant tell you have a hitch til you put on the ball!!

 

I got a hitch for you no cutting no mods.
