Could a CRX pull a 4x7x4 trailer without shitting itself?
 
I'm thinking about getting another crx because I miss my old one but every once in a while I need to tow my motorcycle somewhere and ---- like that. If I slapped a trailer hitch on the back of a crx would it be able to pull a trailer/bike without dieing? I figure a better clutch would be in order but I don't know other than that.

And yes, a turbo would help but this will be my DD so it will have to wait.

yeap, not well but it will prob be fine as long as its a manual trans

i pulled my old chevelle with my crx and it pulled it... but not well.

the chevelle was 4400lbs and the crx would almost come off the ground just trying to get the chevelle moving

You can buy kits online for pretty cheap and do it yourself. A motorcycle wouldn't be much of a problem to tow, I didn't expect them to be able to pull a heavy ass chevelle though :o

It's free because if you're on this site you should at least be able to do it yourself.

I could do it, I just don't know whats involved.

random-strike: was it an HF by chance? i just took one out for a test drive and i forgot how slow these are. damn long legged trannys

Doesn't matter if it's an HF. Bikes have less power and are able to propel their weight, your car shouldn't have a problem. Towing isn't really a big deal. Think of it this way: if you can pull the trailer with the bike on it (I'm sure you could), your car won't have a problem.
