Today, Tavarish buys a wrecked supercar - a 1995 Lotus Esprit S4 to be specific. And as it turns out, that was a horrible idea.

The Force was strong with the questionable Choices in this episode 👍 now, I am only waiting for a parts car for the parts car so we would be sure that this is the ultimate questionable choice 😂🤣😂
Nice project! I might I have to see if you want to give up some parts for my Esprit restoration I am working on as parts cars are very rare to find. Mine was ruined by some past terrible body mods I am changing back to the stock look. I suggest lifting the body off the new donor car and placing the other car on that chassis and call it good. If you need to see how to pull the body off I have chronicled it in my channel. 😉
I am looking forward to seeing how this project progresses. You guys are pretty resourceful obviously, but if there is anything you need to reference feel free to hit me up.

Lol
Jared is really getting Freddy frustrated by testing him on common sense stuff, and I enjoy it.
Freddy says "Running".....??!! LOL!! It runs but looks like a homeless-person's "Souper-Car". {0.o} 😆😂🤣
Lmfao
Jared "What does air conditioning do?"
Freddy "Conditions the air..."
I really don't think he got it and Jared's question made him reply with a smart answer missing the total pun 🤣🤣🤣
John Williams is having a Grammaw Seizure in his grave, after that vid intro. {0.o}
Edit: Oops my bad, he's still living!! Replace "his grave" with "his Rascal2000" {0.o} 😆😂🤣
Gonna start calling the shop the thunderdome. Two cars enter, one car leaves.
Oh come on. At this point, can't we just get beyond thunderdome?
Not sorry. An opportunity like that doesn't happen everyday. Been waiting since c. 1997... 🤖🤵🤖
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Two?!? More like 20 its rare that tavarish buys a car and finishes it and it breaks me
Well I guess it's better than 10 cars enter, 0 leave
This deserves a like because of the intro 😂
Tl;dr
Jack: "That'll be 10-15 thousand..."
and that poor fuel pump crying....best parts of the video!
Just a heads up, if that serpentine/timing belt has slipped in anyway, the damage is now already done. These engines are “Interference Engines,” so, yes, it does start and run. Unfortunately, if the timings off by even a few degrees, the pistons can literally kiss the valves. So, check your timing, and be very careful, these Lotus engines are very expensive to fix.
We have another lotus that was kind enough to show us that trick.
@@TheQuestionableGarage If you still had that mid engined rotary car, could it have been a viable option too put that drivetrain in the Lotus ?
Keep the trim bits around the windows! I would be far from certain they are still available otherwise.
As to the bodyshell, loads useful there. Ask "Slipping Time" as he needs bits for his Esprit - ruclips.net/user/SlippingTime
Ehhh spoiler alert, this video is a bit behind, they already chopped it to pieces 🤣
@@joealex65 , nooooo. Way too much of that bodyshell is useful. Easy to graft on sections with GRP bodywork.
You guys make a great team! But please upload more often. I truly enjoy your videos. God bless
Jared needs to move to Florida.
Let’s all take a minute to appreciate the synchronised “ummm” at 19:30 😂
I have so many questions tavarish..........mainly cause i dont have social media! Like, why are the headlights out of the supra? Where did the blue one come from? Answers needed lol
Point to note about the DeLorean comment: The Esprit was designed and built first, DeLorean only used the Lotus chassis as his original idea didn't come to fruition and he was desperate to get something built.
"Twerking pentagram" is one for the ages. As usual, the interactions between you two are hilarious.
I'm super stoked to see this progress. SJ Sports Cars in the UK supply all sorts of parts, including their own versions of things that Lotus either no longer make or charge ridiculous amounts for. If you are struggling to find something you need in the US, check them out.
I feel like this video is a perfect embodiment of your relationship with each other AND your coping with your extraordinary occupation. Best noises a car ever made priming the fuel system lol
Over here in the UK, back in the late 90s/early 2000s, the "max power" days, we had a lot of those wheels on stuff... Think they were called antera 143 or something along those lines...
Omg that's what I thought and comment what memories 😍
And I'm from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I had the 3 and 5 legs this ones was one of the latest models we get here before a whole lot of companies flood our market
It's difficult to make time to take care of ourselves but it is noticeable that you've been making an effort Freddy... Bravo sir! I need to follow your lead!
Bro the AC pun had me dying! Jared is a fool lmfao
I love that the Lotus Espirit build is back and being actively worked on. I genuinely love that car, and it disappointed me you stopped working on it for a while.
been waiting for this video, awesome thanks guys great stuff
Looking great Freddy! Whatever diet/exercise regimen you’re doing is working. Love the video and the content as always.
Haven't watched his channel in a while, first thing I noticed too. Looking good!
it was always funny seeing him wearing Spanx in the early days. think he's graduated to just sucking it in. great progress
I want to address the title of this video, you bought the McLaren wrecked, you bought a Ferrari wrecked, and now when you buy a Lotus wrecked you want to tell us that buying a wrecked supercar is horrible idea? something here is just not adding up. anyway, keep doing it, I'll keep watching and love your work.
Buying a wrecked supercar *is* a bad idea, but Jared and Freddy are professionals. Or something.
Can't wait to see this Lotus Esprit project progress. I have a project 95 Lotus Esprit project also passenger front fender damage hopefully I hope you will have some parts
available. Look forward for future videos.
Looks like it hit a moose!! Also great deployment on that early air bag…
might've been a deer in the south. or in the north whatever 😝
The airbag comment killed... 🤣
as someone who works at the lotus factory in hethel uk, there is a good possibility that the brakes and suspension are not mods but are from the factory. we use generally use Brymbo, ap racing and eibach, bilstein for suspension.
have you ever considered making a car that doesn't suck?
@@mentals555 have you ever considered writing a comment that doesn't suck?
@@ApoapsisGaming1 'ave yew evah considuhd roitin' a commen' fat dozzin sock mate???
Epic intro lol love it and all you do Tavarish Jared and Co keep em rolling😂🤣😂😀
Get this build done guys !! Can't wait to see the end result~~ !
Your throwing out perfectly good windshield!!!😀 The perfect CarTrek car for Freddie!
Interestingly, I saw what Tavarish was talking about with the wheels. It's like an ink blot test. The fuel pump sound was good for a laugh.
It woke up like an angry child "oh why?"
Ya im here for twerkogram... and yes the fuel pump was like a dying rodent
This is my favourite build you've done, I hope it goes well!
Hell yes. I am a HUGE lotus fan and I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you!
Dude!!!! When that engine turned over sounding so nice I too was grinning ear to ear. Hells yea!!!!
tvarish - finally i finished vacuuming all of that class
Jared - are you sure about that. starts cutting windshield.
Finally, the Lotus continues. Have an 1988 esprit with a Chevy 350. Not my doing . Waiting to see what you guys are going to do so I can get some ideas. Hopefully you will ls3 this , and I can copy the procedure.
Great stuff. I don't know if Freddy remembers, but in one of our very first conversations years ago I was musing on how it would be fun for him to take two destroyed cars and make one good one out of them. I love that that's basically this whole channel now. 😀
Great intro, love it. Keep it up Dwayne
Great find! The hair looks like it's come back quite a bit Tavarish. Wear good respirators. Fiberglass dust is no joke.
I was so excited when this monster turned over!! Nice! Can't wait to see this project continue
I love those new style rubber safety gloves, also add that all important lightness
I actually like the old Lotus cars. Can't wait to see this project finish. Matt.
Happy to see you boys back!
OMG so glad you guys are doing a new build again.
Had a bad experience with a JDM boxer engine that the timing cover, and in turn, one of the cam sprockets were damaged in shipping. Ran great, until initial 3k rev, sprocket exploded…bent valves…
The lotus esprit. i fell in love with it from the top gear patagonia special!
Finally! I've been waiting for this.
24:58 '' it runs great '' , said after running the engine for a few seconds : D I am sure you run it longer off camera
Great to see you guys together!! 🤣
I'm so happy to see an Esprit video.
LOL @ 12:45
Air Conditioning joke was hilarious... well the reaction of it was funny...
The drum music for the timelapse footage is great.
That Harbor Freight recip saw is such a relatable touch. Not everything is bespoke speciality tools or advertiser swag. . .
best opening of any video ever!
Replace all wood with carbon fiber, which makes the Lotus lighter and stronger. If it existed then Colin Chapman would have used it.
Hi Jared and Tarvarish nice video 📹 and workmanship
I really hope you guys start making more videos and finishing all the cool cars you have started.
Aahh Tavarish finally taking care of himself not just his cars. Nice to see that
Been catching up on videos on both channels. Love the dynamic you two share. Has been building my confidence working on my own car. Too bad I can't find a lot of performance mods for an 08 Grand Caravan. Looking forward to more content on the Lotus.
I'm English & I wouldn't call a Lotus a super car, great sports car but not a super car.
I want to see more SC-F
well the wood in the car is another Delorean connection, I though it was just those guys in Ireland doing the best they can, but I guess it was accepted lotus practice that they taught them, as the rear parcel shelf in a delorean is plywood, also if this is the V8 model I remember Tiff Needle trying to get one of these to 200 mph and while they were able to boost the engine to do the power the transmission kept going out each time they tried.
which could explain its wrecked state if something broke in there, also this lotus is made by general motors, the V8 was their work, but they couldnt find anything that would fit besides that also Renault transmission, so I think its a hold over from the old days, so now its been 15 years since they did that 200 mph thing, but a new transmission, maybe from a porsche might be a good thing to put in the cards.
like if ed's still got the clapped out 996 its transmission might be ideal for this.
Tavarish is lookin’ better, more healthy. Good job!! What joke are these car to be honest. They just shoves some wooden blocks to make them…..
I have some lotus elise seats I put in my Miata. I ended up re-upholstering them myself. Before I did that I got a couple of quotes from upholstry shops. One of the owners commented "did someone already try re-doing these themselves?! the stitching and fitting is really inconsistent and the glue has decomposed, and they just glued the leather directly to the GRP seat body"
My response "No, that's genuine Lotus OEM shittiness"
I am loving the red paint on that Lotus; possible future color for the white one to be repainted?
A beautiful set of Antera 143's! Favourite wheels of all time!!
Sweet I been waiting for the lotus too be built wish it had more modern horsepower like todays supercars
Well heck yeah; Lotus content! Amazed it started up; given how heinous it must be to find any Lotus parts, it’s great to see a parts car acquired.
I bet it runs
Loved the small vin tag convo
"And there's a brown stain."
"I don't blame them."
Had me laughing so hard I choked.
Loved the intro!
I couldn’t stop chuckling……
Good to see you guys working on a hooptie. Albeit a rare hooptie but a hooptie nonetheless. The punchlines today were hitting. I hope we get to see this one all finish in 2022. We know parts for some british cars are practically nonexistent eventhough they borrowed parts from other cars. It is scary to see how soft that car is . Show us some of the structural on that ESPRIT.
I don't know why I love these mix and match projects, but I do. I assume both were dirt cheap and you can pull together a rare exotic out of the trash. What could be better than that?
That fuel pump had me dying haha
Somehow, I never saw the back of the Wrench Every Day Roadside shirt. Now I wish I'd gotten one. That's hilarious.
Oh god, that opening had me rolling!!!!!
I just thought where has tavarish gone, and presto here's an upload 😀
Thanks for the enjoyable content
Since you're pulling the engine maybe a custom made timing belt cover
Your not dead!!!, IM SO HAPPY
Always fun to see Frick & Frack together.
Lotus! Lotus! Lotus! Thank you for the update/progress
Price, mileage on the salvage auction S4? Keep the spares or sell on eBay? Wheels look period, staggered 17s and 18s?
After owning a Super-7. I always thought 'Wreck and Lotus' was synonymous!!! As carpenter ants vs rust. LoL
And I'm not just saying these things about Lotus simply because substituting wood for steel, is the British solution for eliminating rust with dry rot!! hahahahaaaa...... Maybe Jarod's 2 Chargers really was a good idea!! LoL.... Thanks guys. For another great video.
Heyyyy, Tavarish is alive! That's nice. Props to him surviving Florida every day.
11:45 tavarish: *diskette drive loading sound* :D
Lots of laughs this episode. When Jack quoted 10-15k out of no where I lost it.
What's even nicer is that they put the spare in SUCH a convenient spot, so that you have to pull it out OVER the windshield when you need to remove it.
Just a little bit of Bondo and you'll have the Lotus ready for long road trips. 😁
That fuel pump, lol. The Lotus Espreeeeooooooowwwwup!
Finally a Lotus video! Yay!!!!
That glass crackling oh God sent shivers down my spine
Freddy's unintentional Three Stooges impersonation game is on point!
23:58 I'm dying! LMFAO XD
23:58 never thought a fuel pump could sound like an old door opening😂😂
When he said "that'll be 10 to 15 thousand" I literally laughed out loud
Definitely that intro =] 💜
This Lotus project just keeps getting better and better. Why have one when you can have two!
Watching them vacuum out the car under the shattered windshield wondering how long it'll be before they realize they'll have to do it again 😂
I'm happy the Lotus is coming together 👍🏼
Loving the content , I feel like you’ve moved on from a “series” style to one off specials like the grand tour , but it is still worth the wait!! #pleasedontkeepuswaitingtoolong
Wooooo!!!! Lotus is back baby!!!!
How you avoided a copyright strike I'll never know. Those Disney lawyers are freaking scary. LOL. FINALLY the Lotus!
