Roof rack or trunk rack? (solution: none of the above... modded trunk!)

Yah I just basically cut a hole half the width of the trunk. I cut my tail pipe a little shorter for looks and for the skid plate. Which helps it get in the car lol. So the reason why it gets in is because the eddy of air behind the car. And I'm thinking some form of super sweet coroplast spoiler will fix that problem right up haha

Well, if Saturday sneaks up on you, at least some plastic shopping bags and duct tape.

Ok this is my make shift block off for when it is parked


So I found a way to not take off te handle bars. Which is good because that saves us a lot of time and much needed space in my little trunk

Built a little couroplast spoiler over it


Handlebars totally out of the path of the wind

Although I commend you on yer efforts, you need to be very careful about this mod. Allowing CO (carbon monoxide) into the car interior is very dangerous as it is an odorless gas and if you don't have the proper equipment to detect it, you put yerself and yer passengers at great risk from passing out or dying from the fumes.

CO may be colourless, but some people (like me) will taste it when it combines with saliva.

While CO is odourless, car exhaust fumes definitely aren't.
The other smells are an indicator wether exhaust gas is being pulled in.

Crank up the ventilation, and you won't have much of an issue.
I've driven with the rear hatch open numerous times - as do many hatch or break owners
I've never even remotely come close to sucking in CO to a dangerous level.


Visiting old folks with natural gas stoves (literally, a dying breed !) is more dangerous ...
I can - and do - instantly tell them to have their stoves adjusted.


Closest I've ever been, was when an injector seal gave in, and exhaust fumes were being pulled from under the hood by the ventilation system.

Well with the seats folded up I havnt ha any problems with exhaust or cold weather or anything. The sun just came up an we have been driving all through the night. We barely got our stuff to all fit in the car. It's a tight squeeze for sure. But I'll have pictures in a bit.

So fitting four bikes is possible but very very difficult because my friends brought so many bags. But we got it all in haha

Are those BMW rims? They look great!

[Jakins]

^thanks man, my friend just got new wheels on his 328i and we put them on for the trip because my rim is bent.

So I went from avaraging 38-43 to 42-64... Mostly around 47 that is with 1000 pounds of people and stuff. And I figured out how to get them all 4 in nicely
