I need to install a hitch on my del sol(same as EG 5th gen) but cant find anything at my dealership......

Just wonderings where you got yours or if you custom made it yourself...

thanks

Jean

 

Dont have one,,but have seen an old style accord with one on. Not sure if I ever seen a civic with one, but I bet you can buy one. Do some searching online and see what you come up with.

Don't plan on hauling too much with your sol, even if you have stiff rear springs. Youll end up bending the subframe and it will sway like a b*tch.

 

All I want to haul is my 4by6 Canadian tire trailer + 400ex(roughly 475 pounds) I figured with my extra torque(b18) my engine should be able to take it. About the frame: my cousin made a custom hitch for his 95teg and has had NO problems with it at all...(pulling Motocross) I was just wondering if we could buy them off the shelves from somewhere...

 

I had a 95 Integra GSR that I used to pull my 400EX. I got the hitch from a U-Haul dealer. The Integra pulled it just fine for the most part.

Here is what you do buy a truck

 

yeah just hauling a quad you will be alright. I actually seen a 2g accord pulling a trailer with 4 quads on it. I would hate to see that thing try to go up a hill.

 

Dhines: How much was it ???????

I'm not buying a truck..... I just bought a Bnew 400ex today so I'm brokey brokey...... PLUS I HATE TRUCKS !!!!!

 

'Buy a truck' typical response, from a dim bulb, although not familiar with the spec on the civic, I'm sure they're just fine for a single ATV wagon, and he'll still probably fly by the Pick 'em up. It's funny that many many small cars with manual trannies are capable small trailer pullers, but that application is starkely rare anymore. A pick 'em up's capabiltys start at about 900 pounds of cargo, below that you may as well always go for the speed and handling of a car. My next purchase I've been aiming for is an Audi S4 4wd 250hp(258ftlbs torque at 1800 rpm tank ya very much) medium sedan...that'll pull around .8 G's, and 0-60 in 5.9 seconds. It get's better, 143 mph top speed(nuetered, not real top speed), 24 mpg, lockers(yes standard lockers for the 4wd on a car)60-0 braking in 110 feet. Yup by gawd the very next thing I wanna do is buy a truk or SUV when there are such toys avaiable at about the same price.

Jfboy, good luck on finding a hitch, to be fair I have a fullsize pickup in the driveway though. But the instant answer 'get a truk' is just wrong, and wrong, paticularly when an aplication can be covered well by a car.

Lastly I'd add that Civic CRX's have been blowing away about all of the old 'muscle' cars in modded drag racing right now, the FWD CRX's are hitting in the 9's on 1/4 mile. Now that's got to take skill to keep the front tires hooked up and running straight.
