hmm I might have word problems......by rails I mean the thingies on top of the car that run from the front to the back and aren't any use to put stuff on.

by racks i mean thingines that you would add to the standard thingines going across the car to hold stuff off the roof

:P

Whoa slow down there egg head, all that technical talk is just waaaay too much for me :yucky:

OK So now I understand, yeah any old rack will fit, subie, etc just go to super cheap? Hugh (aka 66yo) built his own, there is a thread somewhere about it...?

umm saw those....was thinking of something a little more formal :yucky:

I thought retail ones are fixed width but if they are all pretty much the same i will just grab some and see how I go

Thanks :sick:

While mine are pretty agricultural they do the job very well.

Originally I fitted my Suckeroo Forester cross bars. The fit was not perfect but were functional. Go to SuperCheap, but the bars are not cheap.

I now like some I've seen on X Trails. Big rails with driving lights set in. They look like something from Battlefield 2142. (Got the game yesterday)

I got a set of really good Thule ones for mine.

They actually have the stagea listed on their international roof rack guide.

But beware! The Aero Bars they list are incorrect! but the footing kit fits perfectly.

For the Aero Bars, you just have to measure the distance between both rails and let the guys at Thule know. They will match something up for you.

Mine have been awesome, they are super easy to remove too if you need. No tools required, just your key.

hmm I might be OK then the car is getting complianced in QLD....thanks fuzzy :)

thanks for the link terminal.....ironic that i was whoring all over that thread 2 years ago lol.

yeah, i'm scared too that i've had this car for over 2 years now... one of the first and finest stageas around :(

i'll be needing some roof racks soon. got a family on the way and i'll be needing the storage space on holidays :sick:

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
