I've ordered a new Intech Trailer. Just planning on ordering straps etc. With the low clearance on the GT3, what mounting points and method do you use to strap down the car? Thanks!
I use loop straps through my wheels. Strap through the wheels, loose end through the loop, cinch and center and then feed into the ratchet. Allows the car to move a bit on the suspension.
Car in neutral (manual). E brake on.
I used to use those tire straps - a real pain in the a$$ and getting them around tight clearance is brutal. The easiest way by far is to order the rennline tie down hooks (or make them if you're handy). http://www.rennline.com/Rennline-Tie...oductinfo/E04/
Two bolt in the front jack points and rears go in bolts just in front of rear exhaust essentially. Get some heavy duty racheting straps and you're good to go. Takes 5 minutes to tie down and car doesn't move around in trailer. Also you only need 4 hooks which most trailers come set up with.
I use the same setup, nice soft fabric(soft ties) where it touches the wheel (I used these on 60k to 100k bikes against the paint with no issues). I cross mine in front and back.

Would love to know where exactly the rears bolt onto for a 991.2 GT3. Can anyone help? Pictures if possible? Would the rear diffuser be in the way? Thanks in advance!
Sorry for thread jacking, Im in the market for a pick up that
capable of hauling enclosed trailer and my 991 GT3. Any recommendations?

What kind of trailer, open/enclosed, aluminum/steel, how long? Reason I ask is because of the weight of the trailer. If all aluminum I see guys pulling them with 1/2 ton trucks. If you're going with a decent size(24' or up) steel enclosed I would get a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton single rear wheel truck to use, gas or diesel is just preference, they both will pull just fine but the diesel will pull better.
