What would you like to change about your Rotus? What do you not like about your car?

I'm pretty happy with mine so far, eventhough I wish it was in better shape... All in due time.



IRS would've been nice, but the existing multilink setup isn't bad either.



Whatever I don't like is being worked on slowly.



It would've been nice if the company were thriving today.

I'm changing it now. Installing 4.10 in place of 5.33 diff and moving the TRD LSD over to the replacement one. It has lots of little dings and paint chips on it from autocrossing it but that's all I do with it.



I would like more leg room. I have to keep my foot on the clutch pedal all the time.

I 2nd that opinion about legroom. A dead pedal would've been nice.



Joe, a while back i saw a pedal design that combined the throttle and brake into one assembly, so in essence you end up with 2 pedals (one being the clutch).



The design had a pivot near the heel. pushing in your heel would put on the brakes, and rolling your ankle (pushing your toe relative to the heel) would press the gas.



I practiced the motion a little bit, and it seemed pretty natural.
