yeah...its not just for drifting and its for any manual tranny car...

look at it like this...

4500rpm in 3rd gear. step on clutch. downshift to 2nd. let go of clutch.

feel that jerking motion that makes you want to throw up spills the morning coffee all over your brand new khakis?

well rev matching eliminates this. heel toe is more of a deceleration technique. it utilizes rev matching to eliminate the jerking and sudden weight transfers that are undesirable...and heel toe is a way to use the tranny and engine for added braking power.

i cant heel-toe in the celica but i revmatch the downshift and its become habit.

but i can heel-toe in the 240sx.

practice rev matching first so you will know where the rpm match and meet throughout all the gears. im my experience 3000+rpms in 3rd is hardest to downshift. i have to rev it to 4200 and then let the clutch go in second.

i would practice on the freeway first going from 5th to 4th. then once you get comfortable and fast with it. take to a red light.

from what i understand after reading a thread on club4ag is...

due to popular demand, they are bringing back the FR corolla. the ae86 specifically. only its not going to be a hachi. its going to be based off the altezza platform. with a 3sge in it.

but its going to be a 3 door hatch looking like a futuristic hachi. the concept designs that i saw were pretty cool. and i know that if that car's base is less than 20K...well it looks like there are going to be plenty of them around.

the car looks nice too. but i think id rather have a hachi with a 4agze.

as for the celica...it wouldnt surprise me if it did die off. atleast it kind of went out with a bang considering the ridiculous amount of 7gc's i see compared to 6gc. hell i see more 5 and 4 gc's than i do 6gc. im surprised it made it to seven.

yeah...US market always gets the shaft...and balls

my question is

for the front struts. what did you use to cut the cap on the housing to remove the cartridge and did you weld the cap back on or what?

thanks

just wondering if anyone has done this or knows of a site that talks about this.

i know people have done 7a-Ge hybrids with the 4a-ge head. but they had to use a few odd balls like a porsche timing belt.

so i guess my main concern is...what timing belt to use with 5s block and 3sge head?
