Just get one of these - http://www.rennline.com/Folding-Tow-...products/1605/
They also make a fixed tow hook.

Or check out tow hooks at Pelican - http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...tion=Tow+Hook+

The one on Pelican says 5/8 by 11 thread

Have not tracked this car yet, only have had it 6 months, still doing maintenance on it, but plan to do 1 or 2 a year, coming from a track prepped Subaru STI which i tracked approx 4 times a year.

As far as the tow hook goes, it seems strange that it would be a standard thread, where everything else is metric

No tools at all? Not even the jack? Is there a spare?

The 5/8 - 11 thread is not correct, it's bigger than that, i would imagine it's metric sizing.

Found it on Amazon for $38.84.
Amazon Amazon



Or get the whole tool kit on ebay for $175 https://www.ebay.com/i/352082950196?chn=ps&dispItem=1

You will also need the headlight removal tool someday so getting the kit might me a better deal in the end.
