Thank you!

Just piecing together my Yakima Roof Rack system now. Found a smoking deal on Craigslist for half a rack and bike carries. Will spend some time freshening up that system and then install it.

Also hope to purchase my suspension in May. Maybe get my wheels ordered.

I will be at the SOWO event in Helen, GA if anyone wants to say hello. I wont be in my R53 but I will be there.

Quick update.

Almost have my Yakima roof rack system sorted out.

Should be ordering my suspension from BC Racing in the next couple of weeks. I also have been eyeing my rim purchase.

Here is a very small update.

I picked up the rest of the parts for my Yakima roof bike rack system.

I also picked up this little stubby antenna to add to the car:

This is my first performance part.. I had to buy it because my friends actually part own Comptech so I was all smiles when I was able to pick this up. At a fraction of the cost as well.
