    ^^ yer me to, it bends back over time, just gota rebend it out.

    i couldn't help but comment, that heal toe was the very first thing i tried when i got my license, in my FWD 1984 mazda 323!!

    i am amazed how some of you are so "WOW" about it, dont you watch car videos or something :lol:

    nothing against anybody here, just intrigued me thats all :2thumbs:

    ke70dave: you would be suprised how many people dont!

    depends on how hard you mash it as to if it bends back.. i had a bit of troble bending it in the first place.. i think i jacked up the car and chucked it under a tyre lol

    I'm genuinely surprised about how many people don't know about rev matching when changing down gears! I LOVE doing it in my mates SSS Pulsar the N/A SR is surprisingly responsive!

    As far as i'm concerned its the only way to drive properly. Theres nothing worse then when you down shift and the whole car pulls up its revs. I've been doing it ever since i got my 86.

    Funny how ppl change pedal boxes though as i have just gotten used to the wide spacing between pedals. My mates jdm mr2 has the worst pedal setup, when you push on the brake pedal it goes down further then the accelerator thus making it almost impossible to do the heel toe move.

    lol at the 1st thing you did when you got your licence.

    the 1st thing i did, even before i got my licence was flat change, in a civic

    the only reason why i didnt use heel-toe before was because i didnt exacly know what it did, plus i drive a FWD, and i thought it was for slowing the front down and flicking the back out :unsure: lol...<<<<NOOB.

    live and learn i suppose.

    cheers, issa.

    hmmmm

    i could probably heel and toe better if i used my toe on the break and my heel on the throttle. didnt even think of it until i read this thread

    Not for street driving, and definitely not kind on the old box, but left foot braking and clutchless downshifting for those extra tenths of a second on the track.

    Note: this may require a spare gear box until you get it right!

    i also bent my accelerator pedal outward and slightly closer to the brake pedal for more effective heel and toeing
