    Today's Roadster Orphan

    I heard a similar story about this same car many years ago, if true, it would at least be the 3rd new battery this car has had...this story reeks of fish...

    Today's Roadster Orphan

    My car came up for sale 3 more times over the next six months after purchase. I reported all of them as scams.

    Today's Roadster Orphan

    @Roadster This roadster along with these exact same pics have been floating the net for years, I believe this to be a scam, if you contact the seller, he has a copy of the title. Ask him for updated pics and see what you get. This one has been listed on Autotrader and eBay. I tried to buy it...

    RIP #994

    I ordered the connector from DigiKey today, I might hit you up for a board if you have one available (I might hear from Nick tonight). I would be glad to send you a PayPal for it! Many Thanks @X.l.r.8, greatly appreciated!

    RIP #994

    Thanks @X.l.r.8 Greatly appreciated! I sent a message to Nick, hopefully I will hear something. Also, I ordered the charger, it should be here on Wednesday. I might pick your brain on the settings to be sure I get it right...thanks again!

    RIP #994

    A small victory for today, but I managed to get the VMS booted up today with a functioning touch screen on #994 (thanks to other posts on this forum!). I was very excited to see there are only 14 errors to work through (it's kinda nice to have a list!). I'm sure a few errors will go away once...

    @DeedWest #1414 is my holy grail! Love it! This is the entire reason for restoring (hopefully) #994 and #1171...time to bite my fist now...

    The Wrecked Roadster Registry

    Awesome, thanks @Peter.h those bad tires are on #994, so they are definitely not from your car. #994 has had it rough lately, need to find a hood and windshield, and misc. parts. I am hoping the batteries are still good in #1171, but it's been a while since it's had a charge. I am really...

    @Roadster @Peter.h #1171 is on it's way to see Peter Gruber for a charge (or more), then @docdailey and I will try to restore it along with #994, we can't let these cars die, they are too amazing

    RIP #994

    There are few cars that can put a smile on your face like a roadster, find a good one with a great battery. Almost all of them have had the PEM replaced, but this does not fix the underlying problem (which is completely fixable). They can be very reliable and a ton of fun. All cars come with...

    @X.l.r.8 you wouldn't happen to know if it's ok to swap PEMs between cars? I was hoping to find out if the PEM is digitally married to the ESS or if they simply communicate freely.

    I'm still plotting my strategy on this one and open to suggestions!

    RIP #994

    Thanks @Roadster, greatly appreciated! Good news is, looks like there is NO structural damage at all. Somewhere along the way, the A-Arm and tie rod have been replaced (A-Arm looks newer on the damaged side than the passenger side) with no visible cracks anywhere in the aluminum frame. We...

    RIP #994

    #994 arrived this morning to my shop. It's going to need lot's of love, but the PEM is in beautiful shape, though it's not powering up. The main battery has to be bricked due to age, and the Aux battery is currently disconnected. First order of business is to take a deep dive into the...
