alright guys, no this isnt your typcial post but was wandering i anyone knows if you can or has a roof rack for a rex. im looking to go down to visit some mates doing a ski season and want to take a snowboard but clearly not going to fit in the car........
any help would be greatfull
cheers
Yep Ive got FD roof racks, much to the laughter of some on here.
You need to get one from YAKIMA, and last time I looked, they didnt have a European dealer. I have bike racks that go on top of roof bars. I bought mine in Canada, and brought them over myself. I got some accesories for it last year, and the shop said they can accept a credit card payment and ship to the UK. I can see if I can find their details if you like?
The great thing about these racks is, I just change the "feet" and they fit the 323 as well !
Maybe worth doing a search on the US forum, i seem to remember some one asking about them there.
It is one of the Fd\'s draw backs (can\'t fit alot in one)
I have a HandiRack inflatable roof rack but I haven\'t tried it on the Rex...that\'s for my snowboard too!
haha, oh trust me you can fit a lot in one. i travel over to belgium a lot as i live over the about 2/3 of the year. ive had my racing bike 2 sets of wheels (in wheel bags) 3 hodals, a tool box a bike pump and 1 other person..... you just got to know how to pack a car,lol.....
but yes martiny if you could find there details that would be great. i found the YAKIMA website but they had nothing on there.

I beleive that Thule do them , I looked into it when I was getting my rex , considered using it for work but then I came to my senses and bought a van as well , figured it was cheaper to buy a van than fill an rx up everyday
Halfords stock thule stuff
Yakima do still sell them. You need to choose 1993 and then RX-7.
hi,emailed yakima and they said they dont post outside canada and mexico......so i was wondering if any of you guys would consider selling me your roof racks. i really need one you see. ill give you a good price, cash and collected......no worries if not.
cheers
Ok, what I need to do then is find the shop that sold me my bits. I will see if I can get their contact info.
If you need them in a hurry, then I could sell you mine at the new price, and I will buy new ones from Canada.
I\'d be interested in one for the Fd too, i wonder if they would do a group buy....

sorry off subject
Gyles which id do you want?? 18_with_rx7 or gyles18??
please let me know and i will get rid of the other!!!
thanks
Rmaj
Hahahahahaha
you\'d certainly laugh watching me trying to get my surfboard in the car :Hammer
Ok, I am finding out the name of the place, will keep you updated.....
ok wicked, sorry ill have the gyles18 if thats ok.
ok well let me know how much the new price is and ill give you that for the roof rack and ill come up and get it. your a life saver for this!!
I will post a picture later of what I have.
I know they have changed the design of the bike racks, but I think you just want the bars? ( and the fittings to attach the bars? ).
There are a few options. The bars are a bit noisy at speed, so I bought a deflector.
You can also get a (adjustable ) basket.
Locks, so the bars stay locked on the car.
ok well just post a pic up of what u have and take it from there.
what do u want to sell to me. ill defo have the bars of u.
Ok, I got a quote on the bars, and the feet (towers) - with their clips, plus 4 locks, its about $300 US. EXCLUDING shipping.
I dont know about the shipping / postage cost yet. The place I bought from, says on their website that they dont send overseas, but I am sure that if I phone the shop where I got them, they will. I will call them later ( they\'re still sleeping! )
When are you going?
Remember if you buy them to remove them when you\'re not using them, it causes you to waste a lot of petrol LOL... I\'m not even joking...
i need them for 1st on jan...... we are leaving in the evening.
Ok Sorry, I didnt call them yesterday. I am trying to find my receipt from them, and hopefully speak to the very very helpful lady who I met over there.
I work from home again tomorrow, so I will call then.
ok no problem......
any luck buddy.......???
Right, good news.
I called them and the guy remembered me ! !!!!!!
Anyway, he says no problem on sending us stuff.
So, what I will do next, is assemble the part numbers and send that to him, so he can come back with a proper quote for the stuff, and for the shipping.
Also, will probably put the rack on the FD again tomorrow, then I can send you a picture or 2, eh?
your a life saver mate!!thank you so much!! greatly appreciated.
yeah if you stick some pics up that would be great, or if you would rather send them to my email it is: wingategyles@yahoo.co.uk
Here is a first view.
The bike racks are extra. In fact they have changed the design of the bike rack. I think the bars and towers are still the same.
Another picture.
wicked, well could you email me your phone number then and will sort something out???sorry for the late reply my net has been down!!
ok,
I have now compiled a list of the parts, and sent a fax to the shop, requesting a quote, including shipping. I will call them tomorrow / Tuesday.
I cant send you anything, coz you\'re not member, but email me at: martiny@unforgettable.com
Gyles, sent you a text, buddy.
Could you please sms, or email me or call me?
Thanks
