I hope no one underestimates these cars. You need to have all your capacities DIALED to roll one of these properly. Light weight and big power means you have to have lighting reaction time. That thing will swap ends before you can even react if you don't know what your doing / have ALOT of previous exp with light cars at the limit. At least it doesn't give you a false sense of security, its raw and honest. To the owner the lighter the car the more the setup matters and the more sensitive it will be to changes. Get that thing properly corner balanced and the alignment right. Maybe start with 0 toe f/r, modest everything else camber, caster all that and go from there. Don't put all that time into this thing and then NOT cross your t's and dot your i's!! Its possible to take probably 75% the scary out with a good setup and dampers. Sick build!
I’m thinking of getting one and you might just have sobered some sense in to me lol . I’m used to slightly above power to weight ratio with modded wrx sti and a 911 but this car is next level
These are the most fun you can have on 4 wheels. I’m running a Westfield Seiw Lotus 7 weighing in at 590kg/1298lbs and making 302kw / 420hp and 510nm / 380 Lbs Ft. At full power it’s unusable, but map 1-3(of 6) is great fun and very scary. Thanks for the cool video
@@incolinkzetec fully forged, custom T3/T3 with lots of supporting mods and cooling. Not running 470hp and 530nm Running through fuel tech FT550 now with transition control and flex fuel
I built almost exactly the same Lotus. Aim Strada digital dash, QA1 coil-overs. Except mine has an inline 6 E39 M54 Bmw motor/trans and Honda S2000 diff, spindles, and brakes. Its naturally aspirated and was thinking about adding a turbo but as it is I can spin the wheels in 3rd gear.
Looks like it's got a chassis plate so one of the commercial built kits. Those kit 7 chassis are built straight and super adjustable, no reason to be driving around with a 2" error in toe and who knows what castor/camber. That car is capable of Heroix Deeds if they ever set it up

Roads Untraveled back at it again brining us incredible videos of the most interesting cars! This one was a banger

Saw the car and hit like, saw that you have done a different deathtrap video in the past and subscribed.

This probably sounds amazing..
Nice, sounds awesome 😍
I just started my v12 build 😎
Best review in a while, love death traps
why would anybody give you a dislike you doing great stuff
This thing with a GR yaris/Corolla engine with 300hp 400nm would be crazy.
It would be mind blowing! Probably start flying lol
My coworker has a 1st gen Ariel Atom. K turbo. Makes right at 503whp.
Do You work in Psychiatric Asylum?
:)
Gotta be crazy to turbo something like this 😁
Love the Toyota 3tc hemi motor
Could I ask you a question? How can I obtain dimensions for car parts? Utilizing the information to draw my own concept automobile
A correctly built seven is a great experience. Just slapping one together sure makes for a scary ride.
thats a fact its got 10 hours of driving time in total and 3 on the new build lol never taken to a shop so eye balls only for adusting the alignment .
@@esavagestig you can sort alignment by eyes and a piece off string you don't need a shop or them lasers
I witness jerry built this car, an epic car!
what is that mirror above the windscreen called
Schneider cams are the best for those 3TC engines., Look for them. Yes 3TC are hemis!!
I don't think its a "Lotus 7" as claimed. Only a modded replica.
It's a Locost... sevenesque replica

Sad this channel got such a hard beating after that Channel Hack...
WE WILL REBUILD! hahaha
Get the aero back on it and you might stay put better... at least a little :)
If it's "all over the road" at only 75mph then something is wrong with it and needs remedying.
is that a sam hyde hat?
What fun can anyone get out of burning rubber in circles like that? What can they possibly be proud of and have to talk about?
and yet it practically built the DDE channel.😂
Nice car - but please don't describe it as Lotus 7 - it isn't.
This is my dads old car we built it
This is what a real Lotus/Caterham 7 is like:-

Why the roll cage is so tall, makes it ugly.
Cuz when car roll over you don’t want hate your head on nice looking cage
8:19 “Cell-Ick-uh” not “Cell-Lee-Kuh”
‘Really forged parts and a super rear diff’.....this guy sounds like a clueless plonker
Mmmmm
Just way too much talk
Wearing masks in this car is like base jumping with no chute and a helmet!
as long as don’t drive over 130km/h the mask hold fine won’t cover your eye .
This is the last mask episode I click on.
All I heard was it was insane... Try to expand past just "insane"
so THIS is what happened to that car. Tragic. Sorry.
Is there a build thread somewhere? I feel bad for the builder, who obviously put a lot of time an thought into this build.
Spin outs don't tell me anything except some yahoo is behind the wheel.....
Mask 😅😅😅
