Great bit of footage. You we're clearly having way too much fun (unlike your tyres!). Brilliant eeek moment at the end too, glad the pit lane marker survived!
Great bit of driving, you really had the car on the limit (track day rubber fitted?) and controlled it well. You could see your lines getting messy when the Porsche was pushing you, he was the faster car but that's no shocker if he had any clue about how to drive the thing. Glad you didn't stack it at the end.
Thanks...and you are absolutely right, as he came up on me I started getting very messy! That was a very fast car! Still, it was fun even if the car is hugely under powered.
+meeerrrk It's always the same, if you upgrade the car then you have to upgrade the driver. I should be there on the 18th April in my C63, looking forward to it.
Thanks it's a good circuit. It's pretty standard with just a k&n replacement panel filter and a replacement stainless manifold, with longlife stainless exhaust system (very quiet, 90db)
These MR2s used the 1ZZ-FE. Overall pretty bulletproof engine. It's the 2ZZ-GE that had issues with the sump if you downshifted and overreved the engine.
Nice. Builds speed nicely until it gets to 4th gear where the engine starts to struggle building revs and speed. But still, it has a lot of potential. Still a very good engine.
good lines, I like how the Porsche had nothing on you expect for the straight lines!
lovely video quality and nice driving. Good racing lines and cornering. Smooth and fast.

Great vid and good bit of driving. Doesn't sound standard' any mods over stock? Thanks

Nice.
Two questions, was this running the standard 1zz engine? If so was the sump baffled or stock? Thanks.

You need to shift smoothly and downshift with heel and toe. It's bad for your gearbox and engine to shift so hard.
what size wheel is that?
What did you use to mount your GoPro?
I used the sticky go pro mount, stuck onto my harness bar.
ah right, thanks!
1zz engine ?
ibrahim sher yes totally stock 1zz
Nice. Builds speed nicely until it gets to 4th gear where the engine starts to struggle building revs and speed. But still, it has a lot of potential. Still a very good engine.
If u can budget a 2zz engine, then doing an engine swap for a 2zz would be great. Builds revs and speed much faster.
ibrahim sher it is a 2zz now check out my. Newer videos
ibrahim sher check my Facebook page Conan Motorsport , car has changed a lot since this video
