I bet it was a toe link that caused your crash to begin with. There are videos of this happening to others on YouTube. Also many stories of people almost dying on LotusTalk.com. Lotus should have recalled these but never did. If this was a major car brand it would be a major story.
I’d suggest someone considering one of these cars to proceed with caution.
He seems gay
Shit driver hence the crash. Fanny.
In the US they use old tires at the track edge so your damage may not have been as bad.
GREAT…NOW DON'T DO IT AGAIN………………..
Hi, I first stumbled on your crash video and I thought the repairs will cost you more than 10 thousand, but when I then watched this video, the price tag amazed me…
Of course, if it wasn't the second hand rear bumper, the price would be much higher…
I have done some track days but used the race club cars instead of my own. The problem you have highlighted – following the Porsche and the Porsche having better performance cornering capabilities etc – but what people forget is you need to take your town tyres off and put racing tyres on and set the cars suspension for track day events – for some performance cars that just a switch selection for others it means altering the suspension settings. anyway you didn't flip the car andyou walked away only with a slight neck ache – not bad. Good luck with the future the Lotus is a wonderful car – enjoy to the max 🙂
The suspension bolt that breaks to save the suspension is called a sacrificial bolt
I'm abit shocked how much it cost. Nearly €5k just to fix a few suspension components seems excessive. I'd assumed it would cost that INCLUDING the body work, especially as you can get a full respray for less than €2k, the parts cost €900 ect. Try watching samcrac and tavarish vids, you will get the idea.
Expensive lesson but it could be worse… your repair approach was well done. NEVER get the chinese knockoff body components… they're complete shit (lesson learned the hard way in my case).
S on the lotus is slanted
super nice honest guy that reflects on everything that he has done wrong and yet there are still so many bastards in the comments that are criticising him on exactly what he has already said.
Congratulations,
I have a better car then you…. but you sir have a better jacket than me! So where does this leave us? Watch contest? Lol
Oh and yea my crest ring is a rectangle like a real man! Ovals are for women!
Good work and good deal. Stay safe.
A costly mistake but it happens
So lucky that the chassis was not injured
Gesubbed,. Gun je het beste. 🙂
What jacket is that? It's awesome and I'd like to get myself one
I do like that coat you are wearing to be honest
the back wheel is still sketchy as h e l l
actually a bargain price
Alright buddy don't push it like you are in the Daytona 500. Remember there isn't a prize at the finish line it's all for fun.
What's the brand and model of your leather jacket?
« Back end was ripped to shiii, Ripped to shhhhreds »
It wasn't really "shredded" during the crash. Unnecessary exaggerating. It was damaged and cracked, not "shredded". Some of the best comments on the crash videos referred to the possibility of others getting hurt do to your mistakes so I hope you really think about those concerns and of coarse best of luck and safety to you as well.
thank for telling this, i will never clash my lotus.
