It is just one of those jobbies with the slide in/out , need too buy the slidey part and I'm up and running50mm hitch? That'll give you more options.

Only really room for a Burt, taking the rear useless seat out today, give him a bit more room, no hope of a complete bike. Didn't know that they are a Camry but that is cool.Haven’t seen one of those little things for yonks, they didn’t sell many of the SWB - is there any space at all in the back? Assume a bike won’t go in.
They always looks unsteady on the road, how is the back forward pitch over speed humps? Top heavy and short wheelbase.
But it’s just a jacked and chopped Camry so it will be reliable. Won’t handle as well as a Camry though.
There is always a doubting Doris somewhere, it is in good condition on the outside, first car that I had in ages that shines, hope it is good mechanicallyThrow some more negativity at him ya cunt

But it has a towbar so now to find a carrier.
That same engine in a Camry with coil overs and slicks on a trackFar from Hakkons negativity, a mate had a Toyota WRC engine and transmission in one of these, with lovely adjustable coilovers. Was the most insane rocket ship ever. Chassis dynamics are great.
You could drive it in the little desert for about 15 minutes before you had to let someone else drive, it was that punishing at warp speed.
Yeah, but is it a single pivot rack?Looks great, I really like the 2 door crossovers. If it's got a 50mm hitch the older gripsport style crank holder bike racks are great - I know you have a taste for bombproof bikes and that rack is in the same vein. Just absolutely solid.
Was chatting to someone at stromlo yesterday about bike racks, and they had of those one for a 1 1/4 (?) receivers with the adapter for the 2 inch it was in.Looks great, I really like the 2 door crossovers.

I have one of these on the MPS. I got it from the US not that it is its place of origin. There is a bit more lateral play due to the pinch bolt retainer thing than what I have on the Suzuki receiver. I think the key lock would hold it a bit better.Was chatting to someone at stromlo yesterday about bike racks, and they had of those one for a 1 1/4 (?) receivers with the adapter for the 2 inch it was in.
It meant the whole supporting beam was a relatively skinny bar and with two full size trail bikes on it there was a scary amount of movement/wobble in the whole thing... It I was needing that size I’d be looking into remaking that beam in some high strength steel and not relying on Chinese mild steel.
I’ve seen a few on some Japanese cars that looked like dealer fit too, they’re a round.I have one of these on the MPS. I got it from the US not that it is its place of origin.

The bike rack only receivers are rated to about 100kg or so only, so towing it verboten. I think they are known as as Class A rack in US speak.
Nothing has fell off yet
The factory ones can be hideously expensive. The Mazda OEM is about $900ish from memory. I'm sure the factory one is better.I’ve seen a few on some Japanese cars that looked like dealer fit too, they’re a round.
The towbar I’m sure is fine, it’s the flexy cheaper racks that worry...
I wanted a euro style swan neck one for the Renault, was waaaaaay cheaper to buy one on the German eBay and have it freight forwarded. But for common stuff absolutely hit up the wreckers.

Best to hit up a wrecking yard. I wanted a removal hidden hitch since it would look odd otherwise.
If it hasn't had regular coolant changes, worst thing you can do is change it because the glycol will find all the corrosion and make the car's cooling system leak like a watering can but you already knew that right ?Eh? Just curious how it drives, I’m sure it’s probably fine but I doubt the dynamic limits are the same as it’s lower longer Camry twin...
They always looked a bit awkward to me, but I drive Renaults so what do I know...
Get all it’s fluids changed though unless there is written evidence of it being done. Even Camrys will die of neglect. That era will be a timing belt too I think, but they’re non interference so it won’t lunch the whole engine if it breaks.
Nope, that’s a new one... Doesnt sound like a thing to me, but happy to be educated - I’ll dust of my chemistry text books.If it hasn't had regular coolant changes, worst thing you can do is change it because the glycol will find all the corrosion and make the car's cooling system leak like a watering can but you already knew that right ?
