K20 MR2 trackday! IT'S EPIC.

[@dannyDC2]

K SERIES CONFUSION! There seems to have been a mix up, the Elise I referred to as having a K20 engine, in fact had the Rover K series engine. I guess someone heard K series and instantly thought the best. Kidding - my mum had a 200vi when I was young, so I have respect for the OG K series! I feel slightly embarrassed, I know a K20 Elise would be faster, but in a sense it's good to know the Toyota reeled in a stock one! (Even if it did only have 160bhp!) An Elise with a well specced K20, would be pretty epic!

[@justinhelget853]

simon needs to do a 84mm sleeve in that b16, or a b20 block and some rods and high comp pistons, nice eg though.

[@dannyDC2]

"needs to" - I don't think he does :)

[@nccarpazza]

DannyDC2 Well speced K20 Elise? Old, but still one of my favorites on KZbin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6KUm4aig6qIsNk Awsome driving to you too mate!

[@weatherall68]

The Elise you overtook in the video competes in the Lotus Cup UK Speed Championship in the Production category, there is also a Supersport category where Honda powered Elise's compete. Last year at the LCUK Speed champs sprint at Blyton, a Honda powered Elise was 6 seconds a lap faster than the car you overtook.

[@salut151]

Currently building a K24 Elise S1 :)

[@cashd666]

Drifting into a black flag was simply amazing, the Marshall had to be smiling ;) the mr2 looks like a r8 handful 👌 A K20 in anything ✊🔫🔫🔫

[@2zz98]

Why did he get the black flag tho?

[@Pho6oZ]

awesome driving, excellent camera position both out and foot work, as usual great content man

[@-DC-]

Honda build fantastic engine's the k20 sounded mint !

[@motogte]

Mid mounted really helps pure induction noise into cabin.

[@dannyDC2]

I think the Honda K series will be around for a long time yet. There was a kit car there with a K20 too, so 3 kswaps on the trackday, all RWD!

[@benjaminrhodes9611]

Grip and drift in one chassis...brilliant. Awesome driving as expected, well done Dan!

[@josueneto3]

Man heel and toe, left foot braking, controlled drifts.. You just do it all it's a pleasure watching you driving can only imagine what it must feel like going on the passenger side

[@dannyDC2]

Thank you! I did one more day at Cadwell Park 2 week ago, if you would like to see another video. It is on my channel :)

[@josueneto3]

@@dannyDC2 need to book cadwell. Going to blyton on 27th April hopefully I'll see you one of this days👌

[@dgpieterjan]

K20 everything

[@TheMick26]

Hey Danny. What an epic track day, man! Nice to seeing you and Chunky Chuck riding together again and certain parts of the video reminded me of you two enjoying an Edirty6 drift day... good times, for sure! The MR2 took a whippin' and absolutely performed like a champ! Hard to believe that was your first track outing in the car... you looked pretty comfortable flogging it about. The pedal cam is always welcome. Your heel-toe action is on the money per usual, but a dab of left foot braking, too? That takes some doing. I tried that a few times and almost flew through the windscreen. haha. Respect on a great drive, Dan. Seriously entertaining video all around, but that black flag moment ended up being a real crowd-pleaser and made for a killer thumbnail. hahaha. Awesome to see you having such fun in this special little car. Cheers dude!!!

[@dannyDC2]

Yo Mick, yeah it was an epic day. A faultless car, great weather and great company! What more can a man ask for... Glad you enjoyed it man.

[@davespooney8472]

Want. Good driving, you had the little Toyota dancing about, how it should be driven. Hope you get more scribers

[@weatherall68]

Sorry to disappoint but that wasn't a K20 Elise, it was Adam Ruck in his 1.8 Rover K series, approximately 160bhp. Great driving though.

[@drholmes1003]

Exactly my thoughts. There was never a K20 Elise, only a Rover K series.

[@dannyDC2]

Whoops! I got told bad information. Apologies. Wondered why mine was pulling it in! Drholmes - many Lotus owners have swapped their cars to the Honda engine!

[@99Lezard99]

Even if that wasnt the Honda k series, Elises get swaped with Honda k series very often. The Rover k series comes standard in the mk1 elises till Toyotas 2zz was used on later models doesnt it? I had the chance to go on a casual drive with a 2zz elise once and i loved it. Just the price of that car wasnt really what you'd call a bargain.

[@drholmes1003]

I was, of course, referring to its out the factory state. Many things have been K20'd, so I'm not surprised Elise couldn't have been but if it was, I'd certainly not expect it to be blown past like that. Althought truth be told, there would only be 100-140kg difference in the chassis had you both had the K20 engine in, so you could hypothetically out-drive that weight difference. Anyway, good vid!

[@darthtrader1027]

Picked up an 01 mr2 yesterday... gonna enjoy it another 4-6 weeks, then put it into storage over the winter. As soon as i have my taxes done, im pulling my car out and getting a built, turbo'd k20 dropped in it. Then probably the following year i will complete the car with a widebody kit, upgraded rims (wider rims), a chassis mounted wing, rear diffuser, upgraded sudpension.

[@davidhopper1087]

Wow some drive . I nearly spilt my cornflake watching some of your slides lol.Looked like you really enjoyed the day . Nice one .

[@DannyBrown88]

Lol meets noise regulations on the whole track apart from the last corner😂👍 never understood noise complaints, don’t live next door to a race track if you don’t like it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@2zz98]

noise regulations and race track sound so ironic in the same sentence

[@waseemabbas4297]

Yo bud. Enjoyed this video . Reminds me of the good old days with the Integra. The sound of K20👌

[@neilstewart1208]

Great stuff, Blytons great for a laugh, i go there a fair bit, nice driving as usual

[@Druls8]

Some B series sounds aswell?!?!? this is getting better and better :D +the engine being behind the camera it picks up sound very nice :)

[@marklawson4694]

What a pleasure to watch, good work dannydc2

[@antgibbons4454]

Fantastic video! Was great to see you hustling the MR2 round Blyton, Footcam a very nice addition too! Looking forward to the next video! :D

[@dannyDC2]

Cheers! 😎🙌

[@becomematrix]

Fancy footwork. Nice hat

[@nikb6528]

Damn son, you've really got the feel for any car's balance, you've basically mastered FF, FR and now MR. Just need a 911 now!

[@dannyDC2]

Haha, sure a GT3 would be nice one day if I get rich! 🤷‍♀️👏

[@nikb6528]

DannyDC2 once this 35k sub count adds another zero at the end, huh?

[@slomant]

Great driving man! Enjoyed watching it! Keep that mr20 on the track and make some more videos (y)

[@nathanhewitt3920]

Stabbing the throttle 3rd gear mid coner. Dori dori style like it.those down changes too 👌

[@dannyDC2]

Those guys are my heroes :)

[@nathanhewitt3920]

Mine too mate.where the love for Hondas began.and skids too.

[@shawnj5191]

Those drift days paid off. Great work 👌

[@Martinnc30]

Buddy you and that MR20 frigging killing it! so jel! Cool to hear that other MR2 was rocking a 190 lump something i want to own and build great track day toy !

[@dannyDC2]

Was a lot of fun man!

[@REVSUK]

Brilliant.... Geez, you have got some car control bro!

[@dannyDC2]

ty :)

[@glynnc3488]

I did my first and only trackday at Blyton, and I have to say your footage is MUCH more exciting that mine! Mint driving!

[@TABRO284]

Just utterly fantastic! I saw your tiwtter post of the Volvo cat looked crazy , should be interesting.

[@dannyDC2]

Volvo was recovered today. Will take a look tomorrow night but need to order a scanner I think!

[@alexsnow966]

You sir certainly know how to pedal that thing 😯🙌 looks like a great day of fun!

[@coopstar77]

Bloody thing goes like a go kart, some rite good driving on a rite good track day in this rite good video 😀

[@burtondesign4810]

Gnarly dude!!!!!

[@lambo555]

That looked fantastic I really enjoyed watching it cheers . It looked like you had a right laugh

[@toddmiller1933]

Great vid mate live the pedal cam, way you control a slide is mental

[@upfactoryracing4148]

Ohh man Dan that was awesome! I knew that K20 would stomp the 2zz. Blyton Park is a power circuit course, with never breaking 4th gear. Getting sideways in the MR2 is a bit tricky but you were handling it well. Can't wait to see you hit the ring in that bad boy! Great video man!

[@dannyDC2]

Thanks man! I don't think this one will go to the ring, I don't think I'd enjoy it tbh! I would have to do many upgrades and practice before going...

[@TheGreatDimebag]

Great driving man, I’d love to get a rip in a in that thing.Love the pedal cam, loafers and white socks should cut a second or two off your lap time though.

[@dannyDC2]

Loafers, white socks, white NSX, Suzuka... ;)

[@stuartderry1656]

that little MR20 is trying to kill you Dan.. right on the edge. love it mate.

[@ianmulley2013]

Some pretty serious driving there. Great video as always. Don’t give up on Volvo there great fun

[@dannyDC2]

I won't give up on the Volvo, but it's definitely in the bad books. I'll try to video the experience. 😅

[@tmusson151186]

Nice Danny, skills. Looks like a really good track and it's only down the road from me.

[@kevinespiritu3295]

Glad to see you back on Danny!

[@kenny9748]

Great driving again. MR20 For sure!

[@dannyDC2]

Rolls of the tongue!

[@SamBakingTray]

Always a pleasure to watch you drive! pure skill

[@dannyDC2]

Thanks. It's my favourite thing to do. 👍

[@nowaydudehuh8145]

Nice! Proper driving! Yo this dude can drive!!! And black flag for sending it on track lol!!👌👊✌

[@fazzeg3]

what a car, with a good driver driving it how it should be driven, so sicc

[@flatshift8723]

Loved it man!! Epic vid yet again bro. Sammy's eg was fukn sick too

[@odfkjdhgovj]

Looks like a right riot to drive near the limit, props on your excellent car control!

[@dannyDC2]

Thanks! There is plenty of room for improvement though 😎

[@odfkjdhgovj]

DannyDC2 you’re welcome man. What causes the snappy oversteer? Lifting off and no weight over the front? Interested as I’ve never driven a mid-engined car before but it looks quite mental and I’m tempted to try it 😂

[@therickman1990]

I missed the sound of VTEC powered trackdays on this channel

[@Clark_R]

I'm guessing the shifter sits a bit off centre? That or the whole day was mainly in 1st and 2nd, haha.

[@captaindrake3340]

Awesome driving dude. Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed the MR2.

[@dannyDC2]

Me too! 👍

[@accordv6er]

Best track footage I think I've seen in a long time

[@86Nookie]

Fantastic driving and great car. Tell me about the suspension mods. Is it the coilovers only, or any aftermarket sway bars or so? What about the camber/caster?

[@Qgal5kap123]

From the car scene in Sweden, the MR2 with a 3B Audi 5 cyl engine seems like the optimal combo. Hope u get to drive that at some point.

[@nickelises]

Awesome driving, really good to see a screaming na being driven properly 😍

[@dannyDC2]

N/A is the best!

[@driventofightuk]

Best vid I’ve watched in a while. Your driving skills are immense dude! Makes me want to go on my first track day at Oulton Park even more.👍🏼

[@dannyDC2]

Thanks mate, I was a bit worried I'd be out of sync but felt really good on track. Could have been tidier but considering the spec of the car, it was good fun 👍 enjoy Oulton, great circuit.

[@drphatmatt1]

Hell Ya!!! nice driving man.

[@tomh753]

Ah summer 2018. What a blissful time. Good honest fun. But what ever happened to Chuck?

[@kayjdm4340]

I never get tired of your shifting.

[@dannyDC2]

Just a shame I only used 2 gears 😂🤔

[@kayjdm4340]

DannyDC2 that's why I want the DC2 Nürburgring vids back hahah, seeing you overtake 306's on the grass while shifting like a total nut hahah, anyway, enjoyed it as always man ✌️

[@simondanylyk9256]

Nice change to see the left foot braking Dan. Something I could never master on the ring, Outlon or any track to be honest. Good work 👍

[@dannyDC2]

First time on track! Felt good here, was fun to get the nose of the Toyota to sit down with it, although it often led to oversteer.

[@urko384]

Literally have the "Sam's 193bhp B16A Civic..." tab open right now

[@jman8770]

Best driver award goes to Danny mr20 respect 👌

[@aroncells3120]

The intro was like " my car challenge camera car last lap trying to keep up " :)

[@250hdd]

I love the K20 Spyder, it looks so hectic on track.

[@Keyboardbeatz]

the drifts and slides were crazy bro

[@chrisml91]

Dan how do you not slam the brake pedal forward when you hit the accelerator when heel & toe’ing? Can’t get the hang of it in my FN2; I either slam the brakes on or manage to heel and toe but don’t send the revs high enough. I can rev match fine w/o heel & toe. I don’t think my natural foot position is setup for it, I have to put my foot on the brake and heel & toe when stationary to make sure it’s in the right place. Do you have to do that?

[@dannyDC2]

Practice makes perfect 👍

[@jamesswift217]

a strange question but what do you do about car insurance? do you have all your cars on a multi car policy or do you just insure the MR2 and Integra temporarily when you're using them? I've been looking at multi car policies and it's shockingly expensive

[@bombzcsgo]

i've been waiting for this video all day because of your insta teasers :-]

[@richardjohnson11]

What are your thoughts on the AD08R's, had a chance to take them on the track and thought they were really good, they overheated eventually though but had plenty of grip.

[@dannyDC2]

They're a good all rounder for sure.

[@ArmstrongRacing]

Awesome driving man, you definitely won the track-day haha

[@gavinivers8941]

Good skills. Nice to see a driver who can heal and toe. What is your driving/motorsport background?

[@AaronFrance]

Such a sick car. I have an ep3 so definitely biased here but I fucking love the k20 engine! Would love to see the gauges too:)

[@seany8787]

Love my K20!! Dan, im after a new car, do I get a 2zz /K swapped MR2 or an S2000 as a daily?

[@dannyDC2]

None of them would work as dailies for me so I can't really say

[@seany8787]

DannyDC2 fair enough, I dont need rear seats or too much comfort unlike most. Keep cranking out the videos 👍🏻

[@FlawlessCulture]

That thing shifts, you got skills too. Gutted I missed you I normally pop down for a look on Saturdays or Sundays. I'm building a turbo EP3 at the mo and normally track at Blyton so that should be interesting lol.

[@samuelburton9182]

FlawlessCulture you should have come and seen me Rob. Need to show russ what a proper 1.6 can do 😁

[@FlawlessCulture]

Samuel Burton next time you go mate let me know. Civics getting tuned in September but if its not ready i will come watch 😍

[@liambrennan2605]

That looks a proper handful nice left foot braking 👍👌

[@christianherrero8053]

Kinda curious to see how you wouldve done in the 2zz just to see the performance difference between the two

[@Fuzion180]

Nicely handled! looks good fun

[@Jack-wu3ie]

Cheeky bit of left foot braking in there Dan 👀😏😏

[@jamiestuart9194]

Hey Danny big fan and live not a million miles away from you .... if you were to pay to have a kswap into a mr2 done where's the best place round are way? And any guess what it would cost

[@bantan1985]

Absolutely smashed it lad keep it up cos this was epic

[@z4ynRx]

Sounds beautiful

[@MatteeHx]

Music to my ears.

[@Qgal5kap123]

Doing well m8! nice driving! :-D

[@lockenessmotorsports818]

That thing is mental, imagine it on a wet track day

[@b17blg]

Please get the DC2 back on track!! Good to have track action back!

[@dannyDC2]

Ordered some parts this weekend 👍

[@keinoclarke4581]

DannyDC2 can you do comparison of the mr2, the itr and the bmw? All on the same track.

[@dannyDC2]

Nope I'm not loaded mate lol

[@keinoclarke4581]

DannyDC2 well just your feedback. such as which one seems faster and handles best.

[@b17blg]

DannyDC2 As if moneybags! We see the clothing you were and it's all fresh designer gear!! Not like us who watch you, peasants and scruffs.

[@dawoud8013]

Nice video ! Thank you ! Well which car do you prefer on track ? Mr2 ? BM ? integra ? ^^

[@dannyDC2]

yes!

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

Surprisingly Tail happy for a mid engine with a staggered setup

[@dannyDC2]

driving style lol

[@Skattum1]

You have the longest first gear, damn

[@SuperConor11]

That look a great bit of fun, also lets all appreciate the pedal cam, such a brilliant thing to watch. What did you think to blyton dan? to me looked like smaller power cars would benefit.

[@dannyDC2]

Blyton was good fun. It's a small track but definitely challenging.

[@barfmeister8509]

You’ll be keeping it then? 😂

[@dannyDC2]

We'll see...

[@johntobin3673]

Danny you are a serious driver 😎😎

[@BritSportsCars]

Does it have a roll over bar? If so what make is it? Cheers!

[@TeknikIE]

What wheel specs do you have here? Tyre size/wheel width/diameter/offset

[@robz1471]

I'm a fan of both engines being used in any car...Was the 2zz mr2 tuned though???

[@dannyDC2]

I don't know tbh, it was going well though. There were a few drivers from memory. Was good to see another one there!

[@ep3ash]

Thats some car control you got, watched a fair few of your videos and this is up there with the best for me. i wonder what the 11 dislikers drive like

[@dannyDC2]

Cheers dude!

[@rocksteady8986]

Did that Miata ever come off track? Lol He's in every clip.

[@dannyDC2]

He was across from me in the pits too. It seemed like our ovaries had synced...

[@ManagerMia]

Danny, who did the K20 swop into the Mr2 for you?

[@Gary_Bocking]

Best thumbnail ever!

[@davidagcole]

Some nice driving there. Were you on the track at Japfest Silverstone a few weeks ago as well?

[@dannyDC2]

Nah that wasn't me!

[@davidagcole]

DannyDC2 there was a black roadster with hardtop doing some great laps. Looked just like yours. Was passing supras and skylines on the twisties like nobody's business.

[@mattzindahouse]

Sick technique as always my dude

[@purebloodenglishman9872]

Wtf 2 gears! Quality viewing! TIP: Cat on fire with misfire sounds like a COIL PACK issue. Unburnt fuel in piston chamber leading to incomplete combustion with hot exhaust system creating a fire. My old s40 suffered a coil pack failure and the gear linkage melted at the same time (manual).

[@dannyDC2]

It is looking like that is the most probable cause, as there was heavy rain and a lot of water around my engine when I stopped!

[@saxovtr1234]

Awesome video man a great driving

[@micheltebraake7915]

Nice racing Danny :-)

[@misterLukeG]

Now you've driven it on track, would you consider a drift day? as I'm sure you must now aware it's not that unpredictable to slide ☺️

[@dannyDC2]

I planned to take it to one earlier in the year but it fell through. Still fancy it though yeah.
