Unclejake Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Know this: If you want to tow your old school project race car around the country you should do so in a modern, Japanese, diesel commercial vehicle that is easy to get parts for and reliable. Something like a Hiace etc or a 4x4 if you really want. Age Concern update concludes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 4 x 4 now thats a good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 They typically tow well and mean you can still use the interior rear vision mirror when towing (looking through the screens of the towed car). They are also good in damp/wet pit paddocks I will tow you to your first race meet in the Patrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk1Daniel Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 get another escort.Install ford turbo diesel motor up grade to heavy duty suspension all round install towbar Tow car sorted. I agree. maybe the 4 door needs a rebuilt then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 4 door just needs alternator fixed and it could be daily again. enough powA but to light for towing it can barely get itself up the driveway, its very very steep with 4 big tight turns you often cant get first go so could see myself getting stuck very easily.

Unclejake Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 We used to have a SWB 2.8 diesel Pajero (manual) and although it pitched a little bit when towing it was otherwise sensational (despite a lack of interior storage). Don't dismiss the 2.8 entirely. I found myself in a flat passing lane doing 145kmph in ours once (with the Cortina on the back - just south of Levin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.p.n.s Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 ive had a 2 pajeros mate both 3.0 petrols one short one and we still have the lwb its auto cost about $130 to full and around town we get about 350-400ks out of it (its my wifes daily driver) and on the open road we drove up to picton one weekend from chch and and we got 735ks from full to light constintly on and had been on for about 50ks lol so dont dissmis them yes they are fusrty but in 2wd a wee bit cheaper then in 4wd but with the 4wd and the choice to lock the diffs ive never had it stuck just my 2 cents dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
