pulling your evo

hey guys,
has anyone had any expierience pulling your evo lets say behind a huge truck or something. All 4 wheels would be on the ground so it wouldnt be like a tow. im just curious because i currently have my turbo off and need to move the car about a mile and a half to a new location. any feed back if this would be safe would be very helpful, thanx

I would recommend using flat bed, since distance you are moving is more than mile. Better to be safe than sorry.

I would definately use a flat bed, no use in taking the risk over a maximum of $100 tow

it shouldnt make any problems to your car. i never pulled my evo but i have pulled my brothers STi from my friends shop after taking out the motor to my house which was a couple miles and we got on a highway for 2 miles i think and then got off and took the streets. no problem. pulled it with our pickup truck.

As long as all four wheels are on the ground its just like coasting in neutral. Won't hurt anything.

will run rich .....but you could just drive it that short distance at low speed with the turbo off. (BYPASS OIL LINES FIRST!!!)

edit: ACTUALLY DONT DO THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING....

as long as all 4 wheels are on the ground you will not have a problem. just make sure you have the key in the ignition in the on position and the transmission in neutral.

I had to tow my Evo to the dealership without a flatbed. Just make sure your ignition is on and you car is in neutral. I was in my car to steer it while it was being pulled and it went smooth with no problemms. I didnt have 100 dollars for a flatbed for a 5 minute trip.
