I’ve owned this car since July but am just barely getting around to putting together a video. It was so much fun getting to meet Jordan the previous owner who I was introduced to through my buddy David who sold him this car about 2 years ago. It’s a small world in the car community and I’m excited to be making friends in it! Instagram: seventhgearsyndicate

Texas Roadtrip: Buying A Baby Exotic & Why I Went Radio Silent?!

After a long break from posting I’m excited and have a more clear idea of what my “Big Dream” is for this channel and for Seventh Gear in general. I know all the details may not be 100% clear as I try to define what I want to accomplish and the goals that I have, but I hope that dream continues to grow and become more clear with all who are following along the journey. There are so many excitin...
The Unposted Elise Video
zhlédnutí 985Před rokem
Fun video we did with my Elise which has since been sold back in Dec of 21. I realized we never posted it and upon circling back to seventh gear figuredI should post it. I’m getting back to creating content after a very long hiatus and hope to be doing Weekly uploads. I’m excited to share the next video which should go live Friday the 14th. I have a lot of really awesome things planned for seve...
Buying My First Dream Car
zhlédnutí 917Před 2 lety
I was so giddy in this video I just couldn't believe it was actually happening. And now even after three weeks of ownership I still feel like a kid on Christmas every time I get into this car. So grateful to Corey at Corsa Motorsports for helping line up the deal on this car and for Zack and Ryan for all of their help filming editing ad encouraging me to pursue this dream.

I Got to GO to SEMA 2021
zhlédnutí 53Před 2 lety
Fun clips from a few of the cool cars we got to see this year at SEMA 2021. It was my first year attending and even though I'm told there were far fewer cars and exhibitors this year than years past it was an incredible experience . Just a short fun video, I hope you'll enjoy! #sema #seventhgearsyndicate #cars

This is my entry into the Vinwiki and Swae invitation to tell what I would do if given the opportunity to buy Ed's 2013 Gallardo. I realize I didn't give any specific plans for the car, but rather shared what my plans are generally for my channel. I want the content I create to not only entertain but I hope to inspire others to chase their dreams and make the thoughts in their heads a reality, ...
Love my 2005 Lotus Elise Turbo
nice comparison, thanks for sharing
The off white with the orange stripe looks awesome !
My 111R has no radio, no A/C, usually top off. A street legal rocket that is best on twisty roads with new, fresh, soft rubber. Yoko AD09s on mine.
Im gonna pull the trigger this year on one... trading my audi a7 TDI for it. I wanted the chevy ss, but nahh
Interesting and informative 🇯🇲
5:17 - What twisty roads have you found in the area? I usually go up South Mountain, but its short. I have done the Apache Trail, but it is a long slog on the 60 to get out there. The Phœnix grid is not a good environment to keep these cars
Why are these two Lotus out in the daylight in Phœnix? Because it is winter. I only drive mine at night time during the summer
I own the Elise in this video, I love owning it but you’re right it is really tough to drive around in the summer during the day! Winter is much more manageable and fun!
0:09 - looks like a popular spot for the drivers 🤣
2zzge is great engine 👌
Get the shifter. You won’t regret it
did the same went on a 8 hour train right because it was super last min.. came back with a 2009 Thundergray chromaflair :) V
It’s not the fuel pump bro
Not my style either. HOWEVER, a little research and curiosity has brought me to believe this is the hottest car on the road for me. I want one
There is a GM Lotus (Lotus Type 116) that arguably saved Lotus. Because of the Lotus Type 116 (Speedster/Vauxhal VX220) that Lotus was able to re-enter the US market. Allowing you to even get any Lotus at all. Even though GM didn't own Lotus at the time. They basically built Lotus a Factory and made them follow modern production methods. Also, making Lotus comply with Euro safety standards of the time too. In return, Lotus was meant to produce 10,000 cars for GM. They made around 7,000. With only about 1500 left around the world now. Proud owner of Lotus Type 116 a dozen in New Zealand.
Yes. Very nice cars you should buy a 2019 Cadillac CTS-V sedan if the baddest four door family car you can buy I have one and have not regretted it
for me the Elise is so much more beautiful with that testarossa looking rear, and those line, so gorgeous.
Actually, they modeled it after Ferrari Dino. That's why it has that flying buttress look along with two front big wheels shape on the hood, just like Dino.
Yep. I stare at my 111R rear end all the time. Devine.
V’s are BOSS.
Car sounds amazing!
Awesome car!!!
Is the exige similar in price?
Exige carry a price premium. They are rarer (about 1000 Exige, vs 5000 Elise in US I think) and the later Exige had other perf advantages. Such as supercharged Exige had intercooler where later SC Elise did not. Look at prices on BAT or other, you'll see depending on the year and exact model the Exige carries a >20k $ premium. BTW - I own a 2007 Elise, and would never sell it as these cars are such a pleasure to drive.
@@CBR240z You nailed it perfectly. I lucked out when I found my Exige and got it for what I felt was a deal but typically they're a good deal more expensive. Especially on the later cars that were supercharged, they're up in price. I have of course seen clean desired colors of the Elise sell for some pretty good premiums though too.
RI STATE POLICE SEIZE UP CADILLAC AS STIFF AS A POLE !!
Great video man!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Did you notice any difference when going from the 2005 mechanical throttle cable to the exige dbw?
I didn't really notice any difference.
@@seventhgearsyndicate thanks for the reply
awesome video quality!! I'm on the pre-order list for the Emira. I was planning on selling my Elise to put it towards the Emira.... Emphasis on the word "WAS". I test drove the emira, and I just can't justify it over the Elise besides a "show off" car. Yeah, you'll get looks on the elise where haters will make fun of you saying it's like a giant clown driving a mini-car, but honestly, there's nothing like it. I've driven the ferrari F430, C8 Corvette, and now the new emira. Yeah, power will be there, but there's something about the characteristics of the elise that's like giving you a shot of adrenaline with the top off. The only other car that got an insane amount of attention is my FD RX-7, and my 2022 Genesis G70. The lotus gets some attention, but nothing like the RX-7 and the Genesis (Especially in my Siberian Ice color) Oh yeah, you forgot to mention that the car will not engage the second cam until the car is properly warmed up, which you'll see a temperature in that digital display next to your fuel guage.
Wow if that's not a testament to how insanely cool these cars are then I don't know what is. I haven't driven a C8 yet but from talking with people who have driven more modern cars everyone seems to come back and say none of them give the engaging fun experience that you can have in an Elise or Exige! And regarding the car coming up to temp I recently heard from another local Exige owner that even after you start seeing the temp reading out on the gauge cluster you should still wait for a few minutes before really getting on the throttle in these little cars just to make sure it's really warmed up and ready to rip on. Again, thanks for all of your insights and the discussion that's happened on this video. I really hope that it will be useful to people who come across it and want to know more about these awesome little cars.
Is beautiful 👌
Never make a video about your girlfriend if this is how much you slag off a cool AF car in a video!?!?!?!?!?!?!🤣
funy
𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙢 💯
I would love to see the corner balance of one of these cars.
Just PPF the front end and the area between the door and rear wheel arches and you’re good to go for track use. It’s worth doing regardless tbh
That's what I'm thinking I'll end up doing. I appreciate the input!
Cool video, but these cars are tiny and not as cool as a Corvette.
Pretty sure these will get more attention and more thumbs up than any corvette would
Thanks so much! They're definitely very different than the Corvettes. I loved my C6 and will get to drive a C8 soon but there's something totally different about the experience in a Lotus. It's like a gokart for an adult is the best way to describe it.
@@ChapHammersmith They do tend to draw a lot of looks that's for sure!
Please leave lol
I get more looks and questions in my Elise than my Z06, not to mention it runs more than it doesn’t unlike the Z06. These are way cooler.
This has to be one of the most useless videos I've watched :(
What sort of content would you like to see? I want there to be value in the content I create. I’m open to suggestions.
My absolute dream car. I can and will not die before having this haha
I hope you get that opportunity to fulfill that goal one day! If you’re in AZ shoot me an email and I’ll arrange to give you a ride sometime.
100 percent achievable !
Cool video! I bought my V without Seeing it in person 😅 Texas to Cali! 2013 sedan also with the black diamond tri coat paint!
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting! That’s quite a drive too, hopefully your drive home was less eventful than mine was 😂
@@seventhgearsyndicate actually had the car shipped to me haha! Once it was finally home it was amazing! Thanks again
Awesome cars
Thank you they’re a ton of fun!
The plural of Lotus is Lotus, according to an old press release from Lotus themselves.
Good to know 😉
It's true but I still say Loti because it is fun!
🤙🤙🤙
Was hoping to see a burnout 😢
Let's get this video 50 likes we'll lay some rubber down!
Good video! Keep rolling your dream💕
Thanks Mom 🤟🏻 I love you ❤️ We need to make some reels together. It’ll give you an excuse to get after me for going too fast on camera 😂
Would love to hear a cold start on it and how much you paid for it 😉
Definitely. I’ll do another video recapping that.
Awesome video! God bless the 6.2L V8s. One vehicle on the bucket list is a CTS-V wagon
Thanks Ben! And Amen especially supercharged ones! The wagons are insane!
@@seventhgearsyndicate Id love to have the wagon but they going for almost 15k over what the coupe sells for :/
I wonder if it was it going into limp mode?
Ya it was some sort of limp mode due to fueling. I’ll have to find the code.
Many many years ago, when I had my Elise and drove it from Phoenix to LA, I thought about going underneath the 18 wheeler's trailer section too.
Sweet, video nice motorcycle. Were exited for the drag race!
I need to get that video together still! 😂 I’m backlogged on editing my cameraman is pulling double duty but it should get better in the coming weeks as I start learning to edit.
I remember you were just as passionate about bikes all the way back in 2013. Would love to see a short track day video!
Yes, yes I was! That’s awesome you remember that man. Honestly it means a lot to me. I remember you being very passionate about football. And you can count on seeing some track day content I’m super excited to share especially the learning process as I get some coaching from some really awesome mentors.
Solid video dude! Loved that intro. Hope to see you at a few thousand subs before the end of the year
Thank you! I hope we can get there too!
Great job Sheldon! Proud of you brother. Your content is getting better and better!
Thanks so much for the support Nic! Really appreciate it man!
Best of luck brother! By no means is it an easy path but it can be incredibly rewarding when you stick with it. I’m no expert but I’ve been watching CZcams for a decade now and the biggest thing I’ve seen set people apart is their authenticity and vulnerability. Production quality takes a back seat to pushing out meaning full content regularly. Look forward to the next one man!!
Thanks so much Ben. I’ve aimed in my videos thus far and will continue to aim to be 100% authentic! It’s gonna be a journey but I’m excited to be doing it with renewed direction and determination.
💪💪💪💪
Good info! 😊
