Hi guys,

Interested in getting a tow bar fitted to the Stagea for carting around my race bike and go-kart to the track. Just rang Allin Towbars, but their man to do it will be on leave until 1 March 2010 :) They sounded very reluctant to touch an import also. When I confirmed it was an import it was all "Yeah, well umm ..."

Wondering who else in Adelaide is a reputable shop to do this? I won't touch Southern Tow Bars, due to a bad history with them.

Chad, if you're reading this, where did you get yours done?

:P

Trusted them twice ... learnt my lesson twice. Sorry.

I'll be giving Salisbury Towbars a go.

So how is it????

Awesome. $327 for a towbar rated to 1500kg ... as I only need it for towing my bikes to the track. Did a great job around my exhaust and rear bumper too. Very neat.

:cool:

I might have to chase them up pretty soon. Would like something heavy duty enough to be able to tow my mates Ceffy to drifts though...

I asked about that ... $490 fitted for something heavy duty like that.

:P

I might look into getting one on the Stag.

Did they have to cut the bar, or did it come up from underneath?

No cutting of the bar. Very neat job. Even accommodated for my rear bar lip. :rofl:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
