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 :)

[@Pho6oZ]

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

[@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?

[@-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

[@cashd666]

Pieterjan De Geyter and lawnmowers....

[@stephendeben1590]

k20 swap dodge demon

[@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

[@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.

[@marklawson4694]

What a pleasure to watch, good work dannydc2

[@davespooney8472]

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

[@waseemabbas4297]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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! 😎🙌

[@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!

[@davidhopper1087]

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

[@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?

[@toddmiller1933]

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

[@neilstewart1208]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@slomant]

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

[@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 :)

[@REVSUK]

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

[@dannyDC2]

ty :)

[@coopstar77]

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

[@shawnj5191]

Those drift days paid off. Great work 👌

[@fazzeg3]

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

[@burtondesign4810]

Gnarly dude!!!!!

[@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!

[@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...

[@lambo555]

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

[@kevinespiritu3295]

Glad to see you back on Danny!

[@bombzcsgo]

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

[@jman8770]

Best driver award goes to Danny mr20 respect 👌

[@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. 😅

[@stuartderry1656]

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

[@nowaydudehuh8145]

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

[@kenny9748]

Great driving again. MR20 For sure!

[@dannyDC2]

Rolls of the tongue!

[@flatshift8723]

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

[@SamBakingTray]

Always a pleasure to watch you drive! pure skill

[@dannyDC2]

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

[@accordv6er]

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

[@tmusson151186]

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

[@ArmstrongRacing]

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

[@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.

[@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... ;)

[@captaindrake3340]

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

[@dannyDC2]

Me 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 😂

[@nickelises]

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

[@dannyDC2]

N/A is the best!

[@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 ✌️

[@bantan1985]

Absolutely smashed it lad keep it up cos this was epic

[@aroncells3120]

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

[@therickman1990]

I missed the sound of VTEC powered trackdays on this channel

[@urko384]

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

[@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.

[@tomh753]

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

[@MatteeHx]

Music to my ears.

[@250hdd]

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

[@liambrennan2605]

That looks a proper handful nice left foot braking 👍👌

[@drphatmatt1]

Hell Ya!!! nice driving man.

[@Keyboardbeatz]

the drifts and slides were crazy bro

[@barfmeister8509]

You’ll be keeping it then? 😂

[@dannyDC2]

We'll see...

[@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 😍

[@Gary_Bocking]

Best thumbnail ever!

[@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.

[@Fuzion180]

Nicely handled! looks good fun

[@Skattum1]

You have the longest first gear, damn

[@Jack-wu3ie]

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

[@johntobin3673]

Danny you are a serious driver 😎😎

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

Surprisingly Tail happy for a mid engine with a staggered setup

[@dannyDC2]

driving style lol

[@RallyandTrail]

This is epic ,Nice one mate 👍🏻

[@lockenessmotorsports818]

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

[@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:)

[@Qgal5kap123]

Doing well m8! nice driving! :-D

[@z4ynRx]

Sounds beautiful

[@user-wo2tx6pb2x]

Omg that rev match at the start 😍😍

[@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.

[@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!

[@Clark_R]

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

[@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!

[@TeknikIE]

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

[@mattzindahouse]

Sick technique as always my dude

[@kutlee2009]

Danny San!!!

[@gavinivers8941]

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

[@Simoncooke901]

Danny!! 😂😂🤩 class vid man👍👍👍

[@saxovtr1234]

Awesome video man a great driving

[@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.

[@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?

[@micheltebraake7915]

Nice racing Danny :-)

[@keithwhelan2700]

Some driving lad 👌

[@christianherrero8053]

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

[@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

[@joshjamesguitar]

Hey Danny theres a nice clip of you sideways on the Ring in the E46 on a highlight video

[@dannyDC2]

I have seen, thanks!

[@Shakzey]

Gunmetal front wheels or hella brake dust 😂🤔

[@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...

[@23905970]

The way how this MR2 behave at the limit seems to be scary af lol

[@dannyDC2]

Doesn't feel scary from the drivers seat 😄

[@goorackerelite]

Holy mole!!!! How long did it take you to get that good at driving like that!!!? That spin out at the end was intentional theatre

[@BlueRB240]

Looked like fun.
