Now you just need some flaming rotors airbrushed onto it.

Thanks all for the nice comments!
If I were to add art to ROTUS it would have to be the Ragin Rotar from my old Rx2.

ROTUS is now on the road!

After a couple of years playing with my home build rotary Super 7, I am now street legal. Officially the car is a "Street Rod," which means I can run it on the streets without a windshield, hood, bumpers, or fenders. Ok, so I need to drive it with goggles on, and it is a bit loud; yet I can take it on the roads. Wahoo!

Sweet! I saw a local shop that you had working on your MS setup but I can't remember their website. I'm looking for someone to add a few things to my MS and then tune it.

It's cool that you have that beast on the road now though!

Congratulations on the birth of your newest rotary baby. Once I get back I will gladly relocate that painting from the Rx-2 over to the "Rotus", no problem.

Wow, have been away a long while...moving, work, life and stuff

Just took my car our to the Autocross track for some fun. It handles very differently on street tires. Had a lot of fun none the less.

Have a friend who is an engine builder who is moving to Germany, so I asked if Army of One would build me one. Now I have a 6 port Renesis sitting on the engine stand to go in. The engine has some light porting, up graded apex and side seals with some oiling mod. Should be a great little beast

I have had to alter the intake to make it fit under my hood. I will still have the low speed secondary ports opening as well as the auxiliary ports, yet needed to take pneumatic system out.

This will be a winter project, right now I just want to play.

JEB

PS my helmet is in the passenger seat as I go to a technical inspection at the track.
