WGHROTUS

Is it still available? Where would I have to come to pick it up?

It was probably sort of rude for me to jump into this intro thread asking for help without introducing myself, so sorry about that, and thanks to Rob for the quick info on my front brake question. I have been into sports cars since I read "The Red Car" probably in 6th or 7th grade. Some of you might be old enough to remember that classic from the traveling book-mobile with a story about a wrecked MG-TC at "Frenchy's garage" and the kid who bought it and fixed it up. While my first car in college was actually a VW beetle, as soon as I got a job I bought a Triumph Spitfire and drove the wheels off it autocrossing almost every weekend. Since that first sports car, I have owned another Spitfire, two Datsun Roadsters, Fiat Spyder, Alfa Romeo Spyder, BMW Z-3 and now the Rotus as of a couple weeks ago. I live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and attend most SCCA events at Summit Point, WV just a short drive north. I have been into motorcycles for the past 15 years or so and have not had much luck getting my wife on the back seat of anything 2 wheeled, so the Rotus seemed like a good compromise. I am a Marine Engineer and have pretty good mechanical skills, so I should be able to tackle most maintenance and repair tasks on the Rotus myself. I am looking forward to meeting some of you 7 owners on the East Coast in due time. No exciting stories about how I came upon my car. It was sitting in a Foreign Car Repair shop about a block from where I work in downtown Harrisonburg, Virginia and the owner who runs the shop was downsizing his small collection so I snapped it up, stuck it in my garage and begged my wife for forgiveness. It's always easier to get forgiveness than permission:smilielol5:

Where can I get documentation on my Rotus #57 build in 1989? Just bought the car and having a hard time identifying components other than the engine parts. It has a turbocharged 13B rotary and I know the rear is out of a Supra, but thats about it. Warren Heidt wheidt@rockinghamcountyva.gov

I need to rebuild or replace the calipers on my Rotus that I just bought. It is VIN #1989R070000057. Can you help me identify what they are? If you want, you can email me at wheidt@rockinghamcountyva.gov. Thanks. Warren Heidt

Just bought Rotus #57 and trying to sort out a few things. I need to rebuild the front calipers, but not sure what they came off of. I have no litarature for this car. The caliper is stamped AKEBONO 2 ATII. I think the front spindles are off a Toyota, but not sure what year or model, so if anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

I just bought Rotus Vin#1989RO700000057. I would like to be listed in the registry and was wondering if someone can tell me if this was the 57th car made out of the some 60 produced? I also need some help in locating a tonneau cover for the car so if anyone can direct me to a source for that I would appreciate it, otherwise I guess it is off the the upolstry shop for a custom job.
