Heel-Toe Driving Options

[ToYCeLi8]

Well now that winter is here I'm pretty sure that a lot of you are out there in the snow or rain drifting pulling the ebrake and all.

So my question is, if anyone here can HEEL-TOE?? I've tried it a lot of times in my car and it seems like the gas is a little low so its makes it more difficult! I can actually heel-toe better in my 4runner than my celica. Is there a way i can adjust the gas or brake pedal to move it up or down? OR can the people that can do it give me some tips on how they do it?

Any info would help. ANd have fun but be safe!!

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.
