Funny everybody knows exactly who you're talking about lol
I fuckin love that video
hahaha

The elise and Alfa Romeo 4C are both massively underrated, insanely light platforms with pure driver focus.
Gearbox is dogshit on the 4c..........
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo The word "platform" didn't get across, did it? If you can find me another brand new car with an all carbon chassis for under 100k, you can complain about the transmission lol
Exactly. I wish the newer Elise and Exige models were available in the US
tylerthenormal yeah the US got screwd with that. Everywhere else still gets new ones
@@olivercullen1737 so get an alfa, even lighter.

What a sick build. Definitely one of the top swaps I’ve seen.
💪🏼😄👍🏼
Michael Garside yea Kyle did an amazing job building that beast!
I strongly agree. I want.
funny story, they didn’t build it they bought it from @gavinspop on instagram, they aren’t talented enough to actually build something themselves this good
Can't go wrong with a k series.
If it made 883 HP it would have a 1:1 power to weight ratio like the Koenigsegg 1:1
Sorry for being a smartass but it's the Koenigsegg One:1 and the 1:1 ratio is PS (Pferdestärke) to KG, not HP to KG. So it would need 850 HP/862PS @ 862KG. A tiny bit more doable ;)
820 if you add 10% it’ll put it right above 900 to the crank
@@essayedgar this is not true. The 1:1 makes 1340 hp and weighs 1340 kg.
Kilohorse
@@1eyeddancer974 1900 pounds is 861 kg so it would only need 861 horsepower. It's better to be lighter and have the same poweratio because you can brake and move like a lighter car. the reason the 1:1 weighs so much and some random guy can make the same power to weight is because of safty regulations, where cars have to be safe, while back in the good days it didnt matter

When he said 1900 hundred pounds with that power I almost passed out 😂
This is why people who talk crap about small, 4 cylinder sports cars, display a serious case of ignorance. A 200hp 4cyl 1900lbs car is equivalent to a 400hp v8 car that weighs 3500lbs
@@christiandevos9280 but a 2000 horsepower v8 would be even better
TrashBandit 24 yeah I’d go really fast straight off the first turn

Me: No tach. When do you shift?
Owner: when the rev limiter tells you to
Good god I love everything about this build. Great looking car with a reliable, high revving k-swap. This must be an absolute weapon at the track. Well done sir! 👏
Nice paint and bodywork also
The dude probably had it built with daddy's money, still better than a lambo but I doubt that he has built that car by himself
@@timvanderstarre9021 who cares if he built it himself or not? How many of the things you own did you build yourself? Most people don’t build their own things. Some people like modified cars but don’t have any interest in doing it themselves, or they don’t have time to do it, or any number of other reasons.
respect the build. too much power for such a small car and road track use.. sounds like he was chasing a drag record in lotus, which is odd? curious what gauges he was using.. dash cluster did not appear to work. clean car and love the k20 swap
@@aynsleyjeansonne Not really too much power, moreso too little grip. F1 cars have more power and less weight, but they have much wider, grippier tyres, and enough downforce that a helicopter or a gust of wind can ruin everything.
Holy crap, that thing takes off like a rocket! That power to weight is no joke. Seriously, that thing is dope AF. I never knew you could K-swap a Lotus like that, til today. It's like a go-kart, that smokes crack, takes steroids, and is all hopped up on Mt. Dew. Completely bonkers.
Mr. T approves your message.
That's a CLEAN tune
No rich smoke on pulls and the powerband looks niiiice and smooth.
this was the best gear shifts i have ever seen on this show
Chris is the most laid back guy ever. Thanks for sharing your car man!
The fact that the steering wheel doesn’t budge when boots comes on is a huge testament to how well the cars sorted and balanced. When the build is extensive, it takes an extra level of attention to make sure everything’s working together smoothly.
One of the few times bolt on fenders actually look almost stock and blend really well. Nice car

ay its the most wanted bimma guy
They are holy light.

Ha ha, you said exactly what I was thinking! Game changer!
@@RaceGasSmellsGood the oem k20 is an upgrade from the 180hp toyota 4cyl lol
@@oscar_cu2 the engine was used in the last generation celica if I recall (1.8L)
NW_ innovations yeah man! I’d love a nice NA K-series making around 300whp in one of these or maybe one with a blower so it’d have a nice linear powerband! Not as fast as a turbo, but it’d be amazing on a backroad!
For less money too probably
‘Let’s talk about the car really quietly under an overpass with constant background noise’
10:27 Officer: Sir, do you know how fast you were going?
Chris Spencer: I honestly have no idea
@Furio "Sorry officer, my eyes were focusing on the road"
"Very."
Edit****
I shouldn’t have to explain for anyone that doesn’t personally know me, but I bought the car not running for a price a lot of people wouldn’t have turned down either. It was a lot more than just “seats, axles, and tune” to get it to where it’s at right now, and I’ll continue to make changes and make it mine even more. For the people that are hating, hop off the previous owners nuts and just enjoy the video. Thanks 👍🏼
Also, I was nervous about 95% of the video... being behind a camera is nerve racking to say the least. I promise I’m not a cocky person, I’m pretty laid back actually lol.
Well we know you're sensitive by responding.
That's ight though. You have a stick Alfa 4C.
Its the internet you will always get hated or critqued. Just ignore em as long as you re having fun with your whip man screw anyone without some good points
That's the most badass Elise I've ever seen . Bet that thing handles like a go cart.
Can I drive? Lmfao
Don't forget to hook up the dash man🤣 love the build!
When your turbo has 60% of the entire engine size...^^ You did a wowi job. This car is so nice.

It's like a mini venom GT and almost as fast to lol
Because it is. A Venom GT is Legally considered as a Lotus Elise. When you register one, it’s registered as a Lotus Elise.
『alex』 wow really? I never knew that if it’s true 😂
If he goes up to 900hp and stays the same weight it should technically be faster. The only limiting factor of this being faster would be the torque on the venom gt
@@KJTUSKJTUS i think venom gt having hard time putting power down... I think they mentioned that it still spins the wheel at 150miles
Hahaha I was thinking that as well.
10:36 Love how the speedometer isnt working. Who needs that anyways?
Because the engine swap would have a different transmission, hence the speedo wouldn't work
Lol, I noticed this too. And the Christmas light dash. But who cares. I bet that full pull feels amazing. I wonder if he ever tracks it.
@@fiisho there are ways to make these things work but it requires some electrical engineering or sometimes CAN bus translation. not impossible but you are getting into something that could be medium to super hard difficulty. time or money or both.

Man I remember when Chris was driving his slammed Mazdaspeed Miata. Then he started leveling up.
Yea same. Met him on powers and did a pull past him in my neon and we played for a little bit on powers haha
Mid engine, Honda powered and under 2000lbs. My dream car!
it goes with the lotus ideology too
I agree 👌
The only thing more sick is a Lotus Super 7 or Caterham kit car with a K
Reminds me of racelabs mr2 back in 2013
As an Elise owner (S1 with MMC), I approve. I recall once thinking after I hit a wet patch and suffering a terrible case of lift off oversteer "what this thing needs is not 4 wheel drive but in fact monstrous power!!!!!!" Brilliant stuff.
This car has to be a blast to drive and Ive heard they handle really well. I love the aggressive curves and the color
K24: *MR2 has entered the chat*
K series mr2 is sick.
And left because it wasn't as pretty.
That's a potent setup as well...except that the lotus is anywhere from 700 to nearly 1000lbs lighter than my sw20 (mine is 2600lbs).
RavenGTR79 Lotuses are like go karts, but death traps
@@aftrnoon_ac yeah...no shit👀🤪🤣. Especially when he raced his friend's bike and experienced tunnel vision...😱wtf...?!?!
I appreciate the fact that he can actually shift a little.
I literally just saw this car last night on another video. Wanted to get more info but forgot. Sometimes the CZcams algorithm works wonders. Great build and thanks for the visuals
BEST car ive seen on this channel yet. Its is definitely the reigning king
Wow. Everything, is just absolute perfection. Incredible... I'm speechless.
"Is it a widebody?"
..no he just slammed screws through the fenders...
Jesus I'd love to see this thing in a Time attack. Straight line is kind of thrilling but on a track doing a time attack is when this kind of build car will really shine. The Lotus with the K Series in it and an F/I application can compete way above its class with ease in a time attack. Please take this thing to a track get some time on the track(if you haven't)and update those of us who are fans of GT Racing/Time Attacks. Great build.
Nah the boost isn’t manageable. The turbo too big.
It twas built for straight line
@@taylorporter8362 Cool Cool. Would you want to build it again or another one for Time Attack b/c the cars just look like they'd be great little Time Attack Demons.
Omg the power to weight ratio is Redicilous, this is no longer a car but a Jet with wheels, i absoutly love this build very Beautiful car😊

Bad ass ride. Get that tach working and you won’t have to bounce off the rev limiter on every shift.
This is such a stunning build... I fucking love this.
sick ride ~~ i like that he didn't go big on the wheels and stays with somethings smaller and im sure thats for speed and weight.

Does Chris have a CZcams channel? I would love to see more videos of Chris (him,he and) his awesome car.

How about doing some cornering, like what that car was designed for.
There are no corners in USA!
@@4Kandlez common man you never heard of Road America, Watkins Glenn, Circuit ot the Americas, Virginia International Raceway, Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta, Indianapolis, Mid-Ohio, Daytona, Sebring, and so forth and so on.
@@ipaulosan No man, roads not race tracks, but you're right Lotus lives for cornering :)
@@4Kandlez idiotic comment
Straightcut gears on that car would make it perfect
Straight cut/ dog engagement gears are lighter and sometimes shift faster, but the overall strength of the transmission is often dictated by the case holding the entire kit n kaboodle together. Helical gears produce a great deal of strain on the shafts/ case, which is often why a gearbox fails and not necessarily teeth shearing on an individual gear.
I disagree, some cops know cars, and would pull you over just from that sound, ask to pop the hood and make sure it is deemed street-legal. If it isn’t registered as a modified vehicle with all visible and audible parts listed and inspected, you’ll need to get a VI. Sometimes even when cars are listed with say a dogbox cops dont care they’ll give you another VI ticket even though it’s legal.
@@2JZLS than take it to court? Or is America that much of a hole you would still need to pay court fees etc if you win the case?
@@2JZLS I'm on northern California been driving around 19psi on E85 open turbo down pipe and watergate dump to floor daily it to work everyday never had that happen to me or heard of it happening around me should be fine as long you don't drive around flooring it everywhere
@@rhubarbpie2027 The dog rings are unrelated to the types of gear used. You could do a synchromesh straight cut or dog box helical cut gearbox. Often a lot of "street" dog boxes will have a helical cut top gear for cruising.
The thing is that helical gears put more of an axial load on the shaft, whereas straight cut gears will put more of a radial load on the shaft. Helical pushes outwards and puts pressure on a thrust bearing. The gears want to come apart. Straight cut gears just want to bend the shafts more or less.
There is a lot of confusion around dog boxes and sequentials. A dog box with a sequential conversion kit isn't really a sequential.
A true sequential is almost always a dog box, but it doesn't have to be. A true sequential gearbox uses a shifter cone, like a bike. And that combined with dog engagement will most definitely allow you to shift a lot faster. It also removes the idiot factor from the equation. If you slam an H pattern dog box into first gear from say fourth, it WILL go in ... with all the consequences of your actions soon to be apparent.
I've never seen an RMIC until now. Looks sick .
I love this car! Well done!
This is the same weight as my 1987 Honda CRX Si with more than seven times the horsepower!
Bought not built 😆 should’ve mentioned the guy who tore this thing apart and built such a magnificent machine! Kyle Clark for the win 👌🏼

But also yeah shoutout to the dude who built this beauty

Chris looking good man. Can't wait to get out there and compete with you buddy. Be nice to see how my K24 Lotus does compared to your K20 on your old rims and tires! 😁
Its like a mini 458, what a beast. That license plate is the icing on the cake too.

A supercharged K24 with the VTEC engaged permanently would definitely be insane!
Locked VTEC?
@@aftrnoon_ac yes 👍
Mr. D hmmm... is it good or bad?
Bad. You lose bottom end with the vtec engaged as you are on the high profile lobe.

Need to not do an interview under a freaking overpass.
Expect lol
Such a unique and badass build. 👍🏼
Oh this is right up my alley, these are the kind of cars I make in automation/beamng
Kyle should of never sold that car ... But a lot time into building that car to just sell it
Ok I knew I wasn’t crazy I seen this car before with a different person profile on Facebook.
When you get the right offer you sell it just like the black widow supra that dude sold it almost double that he spent on the car
PFI TUNE 🔥 🔥 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Sorry this car is a deep camp tuned. Not pfi
That's nice bro💯🔥
LOL at the speedo and tach 🤣 this thing is absolutely insane. Love it
I noticed he gave zero credit to actually built that car? Acting like he did all the work. The real mastermind behind this beast is Kyle Clark.👍🏻
I have credited him a million times over the past year of owning the car, and I’ve also done lot to get the car running. I never once said I built the car originally, and it wasn’t just “seats, axles, and tune” as I was told when I bought the car from him because that wasn’t even close. Had to redo the coolant system, lots of wiring, pull the engine/trans because trans casing was crack and replaced thrust bearings due to some movement with the crank, new accessories such as the boost controller and vtec solenoid because they weren’t working at all, new wheels and tires, new seats and harnesses, axles, bleed the brakes and clutch, then get the car started and tuned, etc. Yeah he may have built the car beforehand which I was thankful for and anybody would have jumped on it for the price I paid for it, but at some point I shouldn’t have to continue to keep crediting him when I’ve done plenty of work to it and will continue to do so. Everyone that knows me personally knows that I bought the car unfinished and finished it up nor do I tell anybody I did all the originally work he did, but those same people know how much had money and time I’ve had to put into the car too.

Heavy car vs light car wheels:
Heavy car has a heavy ass so the tires are pressed against the asphalt, creating more friction.
Light car, logic says that it needs smaller tires but in fact, the ass is so light it barely presses the tires against the road.
This is how my smart 452 works tho...
Proper tire compound for the application makes all the difference
just peed white
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get checked out by a doctor.
This car is fantastic, I have a 78 esprit and wouldnt want anything but the 907 engine in it because with super light cars it gets super scary with that much power. Also the new lotus's are built well the earlier cars were all hand built, so every single one is a bit different and reliability is usually what you chase instead of power
That's insane! 👌👍
