As far as the coilovers go - in a nutshell chalk and cheese over stock suspension with lowered springs that I was running to date. The goods handles like it is on rails - would be absolut

The stealth of it is sick. Custom tow bar I assume?

Yes customized and built from scratch pretty much after finally finding a local towbar supply and install place that was willing to do something "different".

Very happy with it for sure 👌

Do you mind if I ask how much this cost to get setup? 

Currently I put a rear rack on my bike, load up a duffle bag and ride to the track. The ride home can get a bit sketchy with how exhausted I am, if this isn't crazy expensive it would be a much better option for sure.

It cost me $2900 all up for a local trailer / towbar place to supply and install. I did think it was a bit steep initially but after all the work involved and seeing the final result I think its well justified. 


Hardest part was finding someone willing to customize and fit it up with trial and error basically.

Whereabouts are you located? - I had my work done locally in Wangara.

It sounds "expensive" when compared to a mass produced tow bar that gets imported from China, but if that's all custom fabrication, then I think where you've ended up, it's a pretty good price! Considering some people will pay thousands of dollars for a few intercooler pipes to be welded up!

Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing. 

I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

Given the absence of lower parts, I'd suggest that they are just draped over the backrest for aesthetics in the photo.

I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.

Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side.

My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.

      I’ve dedicated my career to the car transport industry. Over the years, I’ve worked across every part of the process — from arranging pickups and managing drivers, to ensuring vehicles are delivered safely and on time. I know how much people value their cars, whether it’s a family vehicle, a dealership delivery, or a classic car, and I make it my responsibility to treat every transport job with care and transparency. As an independent member of the Car Transport Association, I represent not just my own work, but also the broader interests of customers and carriers. I believe in raising standards across the industry — better safety checks, clearer condition reporting, fairer pricing, and honest communication. My approach is practical: solve problems before they happen, make processes easier for drivers and customers, and always keep the focus on reliability. What sets me apart is my commitment to clear communication. I provide updates, photos, and accurate delivery times so that customers know exactly where they stand. My goal is simple: safe, transparent, and trustworthy vehicle transport, every single time. If you’re looking for a partner in car transport who values accountability and professionalism, I’d be glad to connect.

      Because sometimes I do dumb shit and because I kept thinking about 6.6kWh worth of PVs wouldn't be fully enough if I'm consuming during the day as well as charging. So I did a thing, added another 5kW of PVs lol. Since there's a spare MPPT port, why the fk not?
