Does any one know where I can get a set of removeable roof racks for my VR4 that will hold up to 75 kg. Majority of the roof rack companies list roof racks for the hatch back Galant not the four door. Not sure if the roof set up is the same for the hatch back and the four door. There are universal racks but the weights they can hold is less than 50 kg. I would like to take my new toy (go kart) out to to the track. I was thinking about a tow bar/trailer but do not want to put a tow bar my car or to find the space to keep a trailer.

Any ideas or comment would be great.

Thanks
 
Most roof racks I have seen rely on slipping into the rain gutter, and using a clamp arrangement of some sort. Personally, I wouldn't feel at all comfortable with

a: the risk of damage from the racks themselves; or
b: putting that weight onto the rain gutters; or
c: getting that weight up & down from there in the first place!

When I bought my VR4 in the early '90s it had a towbar installed, and when the gooseneck is not attached it is invisible. It is still on the car, I haven't found a good reason to remove it. A friend had a VR4 with a towbar, and it was great for towing - better than any FWD or RWD that I have used for towing before or since. The performance seemed barely affected, even when towing. I fondly remember overtaking a falcodore (can't remember which) at about 140k when pulling a trailer full of firewood!
