Yes, Flame me.

Anyone running either of these? I've started doing events as a vendor any need to lug all my crap there and bring the FD. Yes, i could buy a trailer and strap it to my dying MPV but i rather drive the 7.

i was thinking of doing a roof rack but i only installed one that is used with an already existing rack on a jeep... are there ones that clamp on in the door openings?

The other idea was modifying a luggage rack... I'm eventually going to get a spoiler so i was going to make brackets for the trunk that i can take the spoiler off easily since i wont always drive with it on. Therefore, id create some sort of mounting system to attach the luggage rack on when the spoilers off..

right now i can fit in the FD....
my 10x10 tent
small grill
bag of charcoal
tool bag
3 boxes of shirts

so technically i can fit everything in the FD but its a tight fit and that means im riding solo...

Im sure some of you track/drifters have some pretty good ideas on how to transport your spare tires/tools without an extra car following or trailer...

pics or any ideas would be great!

 

I know it is not much help but, I did meet a person on long island who had a roof rack on his fd, I know it can be done.

 

Uhaul sells a trailer hitch for the FD, so you could tow a small trailer with all your stuff. IIRC, there is a roof rack called te "hunch back", I think made by delta. This was years ago so Im not sure if its still in production.

 

maybe storage and transport was the idea behind this Quasimodo add on

 

Best option without towing your car to and from the events:

Yikes. Not the million dollar Feed station wagon hatch.

 

Take your finger, and gently press on the roof skin. Now tell me if you still want to put a luggage rack on it. Seriously its not a good idea. The skin is too thin and you will warp it. I've known people to get a small trailer to pull their race wheels and extra equipment to the track.

 

I saw one on a black FD in a thread somewhere. The owner used it for his snowboard. I want to say it was in a thread called "stock wheels painted black" or something close to that.

 

DamonB did quite well with that setup. As I recall, he even raced someone once with the trailer attached

 

Yeah that was a nice setup....

Kevin Doe nailed it though with his fabrication. When I think of a roof rack I think of the VW hellaflush guys that strap an old suitcase and fixed gear bike to the top of their cars.

lol, I remember that thread. That's some old school kill stories there.

 

I have a thule roof box for sale.. hmmm

 

love the look.

 

looks like the space shuttle is ready for launch!

 

^ wheel/tire specs ? Nice look bufferovrflo

 

Hey, you said to flame you. LOL WUT?
Its only permissable to have a roof rack on the roof of a sports car if you have (lets see if I can remember how this crap goes) hellaflush, poke, tuck, stretch, stance and other such stupid car related adjectives. People who use these adjectives are in no was concerned about ther performance of their cars. Thusly the preference to ruin the aerodynamics of a very aerodynamic car with a roof rack is permissable as long as you use said adjectives to describe your car.

 

In Aus, those "adjectives" are waaaay too widely used, by people who want to be cool. I had many "friends" on facebook who spammed up my feed with useless rubbish such as the following: "Yeah man, I totally poked those rims hellaflush bro, to give it that tyte JDM stance yo, itz got mad stretch now bro!! I added a pod filter and superturbocharger and got like 200 horsepower more! I just dragged off an R34 GTR and man it was like woooo-psssht!!"
And most of the time they were talking about a naturally aspirated Daihatsu Charade 3cyl compact car or a late-80's Subaru Liberty.
Every time I saw them in person, they disregarded my FD because "It don't got hellaflush like my Daihatsu Charade man!! You should cut yo springs down!"

I blocked the #$%^ out of them. No more spammy facebook newsfeed. Problem solved

 

Just get the trailer man. Way easier.

 

damn that things as big as the car!

lol reminds me of this

 

I know I already posted this on your fbook pics but for others to see...

 

How about some of that
