Is this chap on here? Integra dc2

[imprezaworks]

I watch his videos now and again and this guy can drive and I actually like his videos

 

[bashracing]

I need to stop watching DC2's driven on track, I want one but don't need one.

 

[imprezaworks]

Agreed. Don't normally watch blogs etc but enjoy his. Love the car too

Bugger, Fletch won!

I thought it was him

Watched all his vlogs, very good driver it appears from his videos.

 

[The Russian.]

Definitely knows how's to peddal it thats for sure.

 

[imprezaworks]

Very good driver

 

[Danith]

This is why you need facebook, not a day goes by when I don't see his 'VLOG' pop up on my feed along with cats in hats and political w**k. ha

 

[imprezaworks]

I really don't need face ache mate lol

 

[Danith]

You really don't. Ha. Useful for quick answers on car groups though - albeit a dubious quality of answer.

 

[leeds_182]

This guy went from zero to hero! I'm sure everyone used to think he was a nob on here but now he's like the stig.

Great turnaround.

 

[Philip.]

Actually saw the Spa video yesterday. Got very excited about the FD2...obviously.

 

[Sir_Dave]

@DanielJames was awesome as soon as he bought his first 320d. From me.
The videos are great, always make me want a DC2.

 

[imprezaworks]

He seems like a top chap too

 

[S-JM]

Recall convoying down to a Clio meet a few years back with him in Birstall Leeds, he had a PH1 172 with a 182 rear end (!) at the time. Awesome to see him doing well, enjoy his videos too.
@leeds_182, you were there in a Golf GTI!

Good memory! It must have been the blue mk2 that I was in?

 

[DanielJames]

Glad you like the videos chaps! Still got the DC2, almost 4 years I've had it now.

I did used to have the Ph1 with the 182 rear end yup, Oddysey Blue y0..

I was at Cadwell Park just last night in the DC2 and the car was flying, really happy with the setup now. Beat my previous PB by 2 seconds, exactly the same set up just more confidence on how to use it!

@Sir_Dave, that car popped up on my "Facebook memories" the other day. Beautiful car she was! Occasionally I have a look about for another one perhaps in 330i guise, but they're bloody rare. Have you ever seen a 330d Estoril Touring? That would be the dream, I think.

Still got my E36 and A4 too, E36 might be for sale soon though, no time to use it

You could be tearing up Harewood Hill in no time in one mate, I personally think you need one.

 

[Philip.]

@DanielJames How was the FD2 on track?

Just as great as you'd imagine buddy. It felt like a DC5 to me, all be it a bit more stable.
The owner had a DC5 for 7 years before getting the FD2. He says it is definitely an improvement!
I got out of the FD2 a bit flabbergasted, I was unsure of what had just happened. This family car that had just taken me around Spa... Amazing.

 

[Jimbob 2705]

Out of interest what power is the DC2 pushing?

Saw the 'Ring VLOG the other day pal, what was the cause of the horrible lap? Was it the dampers in the end?

FD2 seems like my next logical step tbh, but the DC5 is staying just a little longer. (@Philip. Yay.)

Been spending my evenings watching these Vlogs thanks to this thread, and now for some reason I really want something with a K20 engine. (Not in a Honda though)

Surprised me how good to watch they are considering how boring you'd imagine them to be.

What's wrong with it in a Honda? :anguished:

It's my inner MX5 fanboi coming out. Would much prefer it in one of those. It's becoming a more popular swap

Hondas don't particularly do anything for me. Plus RWD

Got to keep up appearances!
That's probably a benefit to a Honda, less abuse!!

S2000?

 

[adamlstr]

S2000?

Bingo.

Sod putting a K20 in an MX5.

 

[Euan94]

Bearing in mind I'm heavily biased towards MX5's...

An S2000 is very nearly 300kg heavier than an MX5 (going by a quick google). The engines are fantastic but putting it into a lighter car would make loads of sense to me. You still keep reasonable practicality as well which you don't with something caterham like.

If an Mx5 came with a Honda engine from the factory I'd say it would have been the best base for a track car. You can even get a kit to slot a K20/24 into an mx5. (It might be £2500 without and engine)

 

[dann2707]

Nice, you're just down the road from my parents house in Kippax!

 

[adamlstr]

Not sure about that, I get called a chav by the less-car-educated in my life.

 

[Euan94]

Yeah I guess you get it with every car. Chav or hairdresser, not sure which is worse
