[S13Boosts]

[SW20Racer]

using purely the power of IMAGINATION, heres what I came up with:
1: make a template out of cardboard
2:kick yourself in the nuts for not thinking of this first
3:when you catch your breath, take the template to a SHEETMETAL SHOP
4: close thread

[koukimonster139]

i wanna buy ONE. not make one

[BustedS13]

last i checked, there's one on each corner.

[ThatGuy]

S13's are equipped with 4 tow hooks, stock.

They were used to attach the chassis to the assembly line during manufacturing. They are strong enough to pull a s13 up a 15 foot hill out of a ditch. (Long story, no illegal activities on my part).

What more do you need?

[ms!3]

tow hooks save lives when you cant fit your jack anywhere else.

[SW20Racer]

it would cost like $20 to have one made out of thick stainless steel. no shipping cost, no wait, your logic is borked.

[SexPanda]

The two at the back can be unbolted. You can make a tmeplate to bolt those back up to the stock holes. the two up front (look under your bumper, you'll see them) are part of the chassis. But why do you want tow hooks? Just to look cool? I would spend my money on more useful things, but thats just my personal opinion, because like ThatGuy said, the stock tow hooks are fine, and I too know how strong they are.

[S13Boosts]

just wanted a aftermarket tow hook! if nobody doesnt know where to get them i might just get the GT Style hook.

[cronux]

dude, just use the factory hooks, not that hard. mine have pulled my car out of a few ditches.

[ThatGuy]

You still haven't answered the main question...

WHY DO YOU NEED IT?

[S13Boosts]

You still haven't answered the main question...

WHY DO YOU NEED IT?


i say a picture of a 240 with a tow hook and tried to look for it couldnt find for sale anywhere!

[koukimonster139]

so why do you need it lol

[ThatGuy]

i say a picture of a 240 with a tow hook and tried to look for it couldnt find for sale anywhere!

Can you try that again...

in English this time?

[S13Boosts]

so why do you need it lol



re read what i said i dont need it i just saw it on a picture just trying look for it:hammer:

[S13Boosts]

Can you try that again...

in English this time?


its just a one letter mistake i think you can prob guess what the word is

[ThatGuy]

Is that what you said?

Holy crap, it looked NOTHING like that.

your location says "City by the Sea". I take it it's not the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean?

We have these little things in the English language called "Punctuation marks". They help ALOT.

[koukimonster139]

Oh. you tried to say this:

"I saw a picture of a 240 with a tow hook and it was JDM looking and I want it"

right?

[BustedS13]

i say a picture of a 240 with a tow hook and tried to look for it couldnt find for sale anywhere!

post that pic, i kinda want to see it

[S13Boosts]

Is that what you said?

Holy crap, it looked NOTHING like that.

your location says "City by the Sea". I take it it's not the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean?



nope not even close

[koukimonster139]

:eek3:

i wanna buy ONE. not make one

so you need to buy one... or what

or you want to see one

im confused

[Kn1ves]

He doesn't know the difference between need and want

Need: Has a purpose. Something essential to survival. You need a tow hook to dig yourself out of a ditch.

Want: Something you don't need but still desire. You want a tow hook so you can follow a trend and look cool.

What were telling you is that you don't need to get an aftermarket tow hook since it's not necessary. OEM works perfectly fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I understand however, that you want the look. The answer to your question was already suggested. Make it yourself.

[ThatGuy]

Just because you saw it in a Picture, doesn't mean you can just run out and buy one.

Building one would probably be easier, and more rewarding in the long run.

[S13Boosts]

dont have it anymore

[koukimonster139]

Im gonna revert back to this...


He wants to follow a Honda trend

and agree with it

[S13Boosts]

well since all you guys going off topic all you had to say was dont know so i guess no one knows where to get them. thanks

[koukimonster139]

[SW20Racer]

The STILL unanswered question:

WHY DO YOU NEED A 5TH TOW HOOK?

why would you want to do that if you can just sit on your ass and have people do things for you? =]

10 seconds on google. Thats about all your gonna get. And unless you have a dedicated race car, the only reason to have on of these is to be rice-a-rific.

http://www.driftfactory.com/product_info.php?products_id=4058&osCsid=b0808a5b441bd0f27329b49d6db5

these are for a honda. Im sure you could make them work. now stop bitching.

[projectRDM]

Dude, let me ask you this since you're clearly confused.

I'm assuming you're talking about the big red round tow hook that kids like you like to bolt just anywhere and think it looks cool, right? (I can only assume, since even after having nearly a dozen people ask, you still have yet to answer anyone)
In that case, you're only wanting it for the 'look', since most of those bolted to cars, in magazines mind you where you must have got this brilliant idea, are nowhere that you'd want to pull on without tearing sheetmetal and removing body panels. in that case, you could make one of wood or even cardboard, then paint it red, since again you're only going for the cool factor.

Otherwise the OE hooks are more than sufficient for anything you'd need them for.

[skippy k]

The STILL unanswered question:

nobody bitching i asked a simple question

[SimpleSexy180]

last time my car got towed.. with aero.. shit was scratch and chipped, son of a bitch.


be cool like the GT cars sticking out the front bumper :)

[S13Boosts]

i just wanted to see who made them for the 240

[ThatGuy]

Do you think a company manufacturers them for the GT cars, strictly for each chassis?

Stop skirting the issue...

^I am curious to find that out as well. spend your money on something that is useful and more functional.

[Matej]

I've been thinking about getting one of the ones that attach to the strut tower.
Are there any that are made to fit a 240 so they stick out the side of the hood? If not then nevermind because I'm not cutting a hole in anything.
Using the stock hooks is a pain on a lowered car, especially with aero and ic piping in the way. I had to be towed home by a friend once when my clutch went out, we used the front hook and I hope I don't have to do that again anytime soon, especially now that my ic piping runs right by the hooks.

[SexPanda]

i doubt anyone sells them, unless you want some nice holes in your hood. Get some made for 1/5 the cost of buying some, if they do infact make them, and get them powdercoated. Just slap on a japanese sounding name sticker, and say that you imported them from japan...


That actually doesnt sound like a bad idea...

[S13Boosts]

stupid i dont need the hook I just wanted to know if anybody made it for a 240 so WHEN i thought about it i made a thread trying to look for it

[ThatGuy]

If you're worried about your front aero, take it off before towing. IC piping? Use cloth straps around the hooks to cut down on damage to your pipes.

[koukimonster139]

ohoho


and the river runs red




so ..... why ya need 5 tow hooks really

[SexPanda]

stupid i dont need the hook I just wanted to know if anybody made it for a 240 so WHEN i thought about it i made a thread trying to look for it
you were way to vague in your OP. It was probably costum made, like so many other parts you see on race cars.

[S13Boosts]

damn still dont get it.. well close this thread thanks!

[koukimonster139]

no non nonono

you said you wanted to buy one dammit

i even quoted you saying that a while back


WHY 5 ??????

[ThatGuy]

Did you just call me "stupid"?

You can't even form a complete thought in a post. :duh:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Now you can't even figure out whether or not you want to buy, or just find someone selling them for the Hell of it.

WHY DO YOU NEED A 5TH TOW HOOK?

[SexPanda]

i hope to god you didnt just call thatguy stupid... a mistake my friend.

You can make one real simple and make it look real nice if you really want one. Cut a hole in your bumper, weld or bolt on the custom made tow hook, and cover the hole with one of those plastic lid things you find on computer desks.
http://cableorganizer.com/metal-desk-grommets/

it'd look pretty clean if i dont say so myself

[ALTRNTV]

Wow. This thread is just wow.

Emergency! He takes a corner too fast and goes into a ditch. His friend in an F-350 helps pull his S13 out. The first tow hook's going to break immediately from all the rust and the second one's going to be bent to shit and not usable. He's about to give the third one a shot, until he realizes that he cut it off for some unknown reason. The fourth one wasn't even there. But wait, holy macaroni, the aftermarket fifth one! He uses it and pulls his car out of the ditch and he escapes from the running magma.

The connecting rod as a tow hook is the best!

[ThatGuy]

If his car has that much rust and problems with the frame, he needs to spend his money elsewhere then on a universal towhook to look cool.

So...

I've always thought those toe hooks that rested on the strut towers looked cool.

Wouldn't do it myself, but i thought it looked cool. But then again, 240s don't need a 5TH TOE HOOK.

[koukimonster139]
