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....
