I picked up a 96 SE with the 2.4 and a 5 speed from a friend a month ago, figured I should reg and read here regularily, esp since this thing will probably need the 5 speed replaced sometime this year(when its warm out!)

after I do that I may do some suspension as it needs struts anyways............atleast throw a rear sway bar on, must be the autocrosser in me wanting every car I own to handle well!

oooh yeah, and I need to pick up a hitch for it at some point...any suggestions? the cheaper the better :)

I'm prepping a bike for track days and don't want to ride it there and home after being on it all day :D

Well I guess if you aren't planning to haul a lot of stuff the GA should be able to handle it but if there are going to be tool boxes and other large stuff + the bike then I would suggest a small truck that is better equipped to handle heavier loads. Keep in mind the weight of the trailer as well. Most people don't stop and think of that.

well last summer i went to the beach with my girlfriend and we saw a grand am with a hitch and trailer pulling a pretty big boat. not like full size obviously but it was still pretty big. made me want to get one on mine to haul a 4 wheeler, but then i thought about it......................... and no! haha def get a truck, as a hitch does not belong on basically any car. unless its a beater :P

this is my beater..... :)


the bike will weight under 400 lbs...the small amount of tools can go in the car.......

I should check the rated tow capacity though eh...


yeah back from the dead sorry got busy at work and forget about this forum!
