Just a big cheers and thanks for making such epic videos and all the graft and editing you put in 👏💪💯🔰

[@confusedbycars]

Nice start to a Saturday morning 😎

[@demelitia]

Big fan of the workshop vids. Making some dimples with a centre punch under the washers for the splitter brackets will help it grip without having to go gütentoight.

Appreciate all the hard work putting together these Videos Dan! ...Congrats on the MR2 Championship! ...right, I'm off to watch the video now!

17:00 I hear no place like home, impeccable music choice as always Danny 💪

[@aevans148]

Dashboard Confessional on the playlist? A rarity to hear that in the wild

[@newagetemplar6100]

Hour and a half later I suppose I’d best do something on mine now. Jobs for Dan over winter, brake ducts and front splitter mods ( add elements to diffuse air around the front wheels ) . New front air dam if regs permit 👍

[@dannyDC2]

New ducts are on 👀

[@joshwattonS2000]

Early morning upload, I’m here for it 👌🏼

[@barryianson4693]

Great video on so many levels Dan. Keep looking left and right on the path of life to appreciate where you are.

[@danielcgomez]

Loads of Vlogging in this one! ....Awesome seeing you happy about the cars post-prep performance! Looks like you were busy on that race weekend also! Cheers again for the great content Dan!

[@whoisgoogle]

Yes Dan

[@bernardovti]

Love these long videos working in the EG!

[@JazHarveyRacing]

Good luck at Oulton today!

[@erictol]

Dan, you could use regular hose clamps instead of those steel zipties. Did it on my exhaust wrap and works fine

[@EmptyPocketRacers]

Great! With the added hole in the headlight I would consider adding some hood vents..they would also help with cooling and front aero as well.

[@newagetemplar6100]

What an awesome excuse to not doo much for 2 hrs . 13:00 in change the TPS sensor -reason , our M3 one was dodgy and didn’t realise till it went to the dyno . 600 Squids wasted in dyno fees . Turns out so was our engine temp sensor was iffy too 🙄

[@bernardovti]

My shifter mechanism bolt was loose too,after seeing the video ive tighten it up and its all fine now 👌😅

[@yuuji_]

18:55 is some Adam Nitti that i hear ? I'd never thought i'd heard it anywhere, but it does have that gran turismo fusion jazz going so yeah might be the reason why you know it too :p

[@dannyDC2]

Haha yeh think it was just called “music that sounds like it could be on gran Turismo”

[@Retrobeemer]

Now then Dan! Thanks for the feature length video this weekend. I'm not sure what Stella was saying about half way in but Ted (my old Lab') was barking in agreement! I had Iridium plugs in my E30 M3 and they just gave me issues. I'm not sure if it was a quality control issue or something, but I went back to regular and never had any further problem. Am back in an E46 now and just starting to get it ready for Llandow next spring. Anyway, look forward to the next one. *Mark*

[@dannyDC2]

Never heard anyone have issues with the specifically but I know people hold on to them for a while. That can cause problems

[@dc5mike540]

Great video 💯

[@nobodynoone2500]

Never ever had my toe bolts move. A prybar to set the position, and snug up the bolt. A bit fiddly but simple and easy. That repacement looks good for getting extreme toe values for trailing arm swaps, but seems worse than the OG method, however jank it seems. I'll send ya a paid evelope and 10 cash if ya wanna dispose of the old ones! Also I chewed up a converted power rack by not running it with fluid, ended up looping the lines for decent performance but eventually just converted to a manual civic rack. Fab some brake ducts for the heat issue, otherwise bleed em every time they get very hot. Overheated brake juice never works as well and will absorb moisture and air more readily leading to a soft pedal. I suggest finding the brake rotors with the best vane structure, holes and slots we usually avoid when racing here due to cracking/stress riser issues. I just buy the nice centrics which are kinda the minimum viable product for track use. Honestly suprised it's 2400lbs still. Got my crx down to 1740lbs (790kg) before the cage, with fuel, w/o driver so maybe add 185lbs (84kg) with gear. Taking off all the random brackets, unused nuts and bolts, including captive nuts helped a LOT. Spend a day just drinkin coffee and obsessing over grams and you will be floored at how much weight you can shed. Even if you have to add it back as ballast, it's worth it to put the weight where it's needed, low and inside the wheelbase. Thanks for reading my blog lol, hope any of this helps ya. Cheers!

[@dannyDC2]

CRX is a lighter car for sure. This still has factory and stock panels so that will be a lot of the weight.

[@LiamMfive]

I tried torquing spark plugs to the spec on the NGK box once on a VX220 and it cracked the head where the spark plug seats 😂. That was 18 years ago and I still wince every time I put spark plugs in 🤦‍♂️😂.

[@nobodynoone2500]

Never had an issue, but seated and not moving usually = good enough. Luckily honda heads are pretty stout. Never had one strip not invloving gross abuse.

@@nobodynoone2500 I’ve replaced hundreds of sets. It was just that one time. I reckon it was a weak head or something 👍

You're fucking killing it Dan. I cannot wait to see where this season goes. I see some serious titles coming your way.

[@csp6]

Awesome work, makes me feel slightly better about being a mussy bugger in my garage as well. Had my first drive in a DC2 last week, took a lap before I got used to revving high enough! Can see why people like them. Instructor then proceeded to break a driveshaft in it but Snet does seem to eat them. Hope you didn't need to use your spare ones on race weekend!

[@dannyDC2]

Never heard that about Snett before, nope didn’t need them luckily!

25:44 yea this fittings are b. I had same issue with breake lines, i thought that i felt that im loosing it

[@johnrobertgordon]

Wonder if investing in a laser temperature gun to start measuring post session inner/middle/outer temps of the tyres and using the numbers to guide the camber/pressure settings could be beneficial?

[@dannyDC2]

I’ve got one of those infa red ones but need a pyrometer really

[@ryanp6138]

Borrow one of our Race Sense gauges. All the data goes to your phone.

[@nobodynoone2500]

Anything helps, i've used the gun and it was close to the actual pyrometer IF used within 20-30sec of getting off the track. After that the surface was more variable compared to the pyrometer that gets a mm or so deeeper. High end cars use ir sensors to measure temp live. Seen a few garage-built guys using arduinos and cheap ir cameras to do the same so I expect cost to come down soon.

[@angeloah]

Always business up front, a party in the back, mullets are the business. Love watching ya doin the thing, a little creepy yes, on my end I mean. I’m not dangerous I swear.

[@westRtype]

I couldn’t sleep having those toe arms not sided 😂 You should always adjust the rear 1st when doing alignment as moving the rear will move the front toe 😉 great work lad 🙌🔥🔥👊

[@dannyDC2]

How does adjusting the rear affect the front? 🤔

Just bought a DC2 and gone for the Dixcel setup like yourself. I wanted two piece discs but I could only find them in 282mm by Project Mu, and they were pricey! I thought they’d be popular enough for someone else to have made them. I’ve also got the Buddyclub QF’s.

[@dannyDC2]

Yeah 2 piece stock size is not common.

[@callumread2455]

Great video! what width are your front wheels im really struggling to find some that are wider than 7j in 15” with my 5 stud on my eg track car ? Cheers

Yes that is a problem. Custom wheels are the only option really. Mine are 7”

[@allysonsquires8421]

Ps those red rims with the shiny lip I fell in love with them years ago, I had so much want when i first seen them years ago. But never got them as i always drove nova,s n corsa b so i didn't think the jdm look would go with my uk shitters

[@dannyDC2]

They’re a bit ‘JDM style’ for me tbh

[@allysonsquires8421]

Sunday and danny vlogness,,,,, mint!

[@raceandmap]

You need a swirl pot/surge tank to deal properly with the fuel starvation. Also that play will probably be either a crack on 3/4rth gear fork or your shifter mechanism bolt came loose. Good video content man, keep up. Edit: It was the shifter mechanism. PS. I dont know how those cv joints hold on your setup, Mine used to die every 40/50 mnts of track time the difference being I use full 240 slicks, anyway I updated the hubs and using EP3 cv joints now so it seems its holding up now.

Hey, did you installed the brake discs correctly? I think they or on the wrong sides. The right one is on the left side and the left one on the right.

[@PT82]

They’re fitted correctly.

[@nobodynoone2500]

Honestly the vented discs are a bit of a meme imho and it won't really matter either way. Pads havent offgassed enough to need em in decades.

[@dannyDC2]

Ya they’re fitted right, I had the same thoughts too

Flip that engine oil cooler over so it fills. Ones in your orientation only even seem to fill half way.

Bet that doesent even include required insurance. Events pay insurance for everyone, but for many solo test days you MAY have to buy your own. Still a bit cheaper than many places here stateside.

[@gweflj]

Dan, I can see you’ve got your hands full with all the mechanical issues but I think you can make your car go faster by bringing the aero up to date. Have you thought about a flat floor and some kind of diffuser. The gains can be massive. By splitting the air stagnation point to get increased airflow under the car, You end up with a smaller frontal area so lower drag and increased grip from the higher velocity, lower underfloor pressure. I'm sure you know all this, just amazed you haven't done it yet.
