I just saw a very clean single cam hatch pulling an 8ft Uhaul. I think these cars are rated to pull 1500 lbs or so. I'd just get a setup like those old farts with Jazzys have. I think it's just a class 1 hitch and a small platform with tiedowns.

So you say this....but want to add a hitch to your car. This is more fail than me thinking about recircing the wastegate into the exhaust on my car.

Uhaul sells hitches made for s13's. I worked at the one on hillsborough next to hooters for about a year and a half in highschool and I think I did 2 hitch installs on s13s. IIRC I had to drill all 4 holes. Just call them and ask for a quote. And do the wiring youself its easy as hell, but it cost about $40. Just called my friend that still works there, the hitch cost $150+tax.

my old coupe came with a hitch, and my neighbors old hatch had one too.

i wish i kept it, i would totally build a tire trailer like those miata fags use.

You would have to probably cut your bumper, or take it off all the time.

Would be a huge pain in the ass.
