So i built a trailer

[da9jeff]

I think that maybe the wieght on the rego slip, like just a bare frame. But I may be wrong, If so I would love to see pics.

That one is around 268-275kg depending on the towbridge.

[da9jeff]

ready for Nov?

[takai]

Car will be, $$$ probably not.

Jamie, would it fit an RX-7 on it ? Fuck me that's light - how does it tow ?

1st gen RX7 I assume? Stock, probably, with wider track and wheels etc. probably not. Tow's great, much better then the two trailers I have used in the last week.

We need pics of said 254kg trailer, just trying to get my head around its featherweight

I've got pics in one of the trailer threads around here somewhere...

It doesn't fit an EG Civic.

the trailer ha it's first outing this weekend.

over the mountains to hampton and back and i must say after doing the trip with 4 different trailers this one shits all over the others.

it's about 300+ kg lighter than the hire ones. and it sits so straight.

electric brakes FTMFW !!!!

can't wait to take it out again.

Top effort - trailer has come up great. Those side rails will have stiffened it up considerably. Well done

Something small but could catch you out.
The number plate light coming from the side blocks the view of the plate
from the right?

It looks the goods.

+eleventy billion! Had the Sigma too far back on the yellow trailer and it got the sways big time at aournd 80k/h. Grabbed the electric brake overide and straightened it out without any issues. Would of been interesting if it was multi-lane traffic!

That's the normal setup for a trailer. You need to be close to inline with the back of the trailer and very low down for it to block the view.

Found a pic of the trailer with the car on it, still looking for one of the trailer on it's own...

It doesn't fit an EG Civic.

It would fit a stocker, but the extra wide wheels on the front just wouldn't fit. Also, an EG Civic is wider then a 1st gen RX7. It would need to be 5cm's wider to fit the VS on it (and the VS would need to be a few hundred kilo's lighter for it to be legal) Measured it up and it is 1690 x 3600 for the load area.

thats nice, build it yourself? either way, how much? At $100-200 a pop for a rental it wont take long to pay for itself if i got one for the honda.

Ps at the motorkhana champs there was a valiant lancer with semis on, looked rough as fuck but it went hard as!

usually a good homebuilt will shit all over a rental, there usually 20 years old and bent to fuck. My Dad built a trailer and at 110km you can take your hands off the wheel and it sits straight (which is pretty good for an old disco)

It was built for me to suit the car. Very tempted to modify it to suit the new car rather then sell it and buy another one, it is the best trailer I have ever towed with.

Where are the pics of the Lancer?? I knew one was going down there but haven't seen any pics yet
