On this episode I started out trying to fix the split CV boot on the Lotus Exige S with the Toyota 2ZZ supercharged engine and 6 speed manual C64 gearbox. Little did I know that it was going to turn into a multi month project to get the driveshafts sorted. There's a big surprise in the video waiting for me...
Luckily the Lotus driveshaft is not too different from a standard Toyota 2zz driveshaft so I managed to buy a second hand one off a Corolla Runx. A frankeinstein driveshaft was born...
Apologies for the long video but I think you will definitely learn something from this, I sure did! Didn't even know how CV joints or driveshafts really worked before this and finding out about all the Lotus things were priceless.
Hopefully I never have to do this again though since it is a very messy job. The BOE Tuff Boots should last a very long time. And I hope this information helps someone save quite a bit of money instead of having to buy the Lotus official part.
