    Default heel-toe/rev-match

    sup fellas,

    i know some of y'all use heel/toe and rev matching. i kno i do, on the street (never been on the track with evo, yet), but juss seeing if anybody else does.

    of course, some of yous are gonna say, "why would you use heel/toe on the street?" so heres what im gonna reply, "because every time i sit in my evo, its an ultimate driving experience. and with that, i like to perfect and practice my skills as a driver, including, but not limited to, launching, shifting and turning..." so yea...

    dont worry guys, ill be seeing some of you at the track soon enough.

    just fyi, i learned by watching videos and lotsa practice, so hopefully ill have professional criticism to add to it. :lol:

    Default heel-toe/rev-match

    I use heel-toe going into turns and practice it when stopping at red lights. Also, I rev-match/blip the throttle whenever downshifting. If you're at the edge of traction a rough downshift can cause you to break loose (seen that 350Z vid?). Granted I'm rarely near the "edge" when driving on the street, but that makes it that much safer to practice for when I am.

    There's a pretty good heel-toe tutorial at http://www.turnfast.com/tech_driving..._heeltoe.lasso

    Do you experts downshift through every gear or go directly to your target gear after braking first?

    Default heel-toe/rev-match

    The rev difference when downshifting by more than one gear is obvious bigger so rev-matching is more difficult. I think it really depends how hard you're braking/how fast you're slowing down. On a turn I imagine you want to hit the gear that you'll need to go fast out of that turn. If I'm slowing down gradually and can't anticipate when exactly I'll need to speed up again (for example driving in moderate traffic) I'll downshift through each gear. For example, coming gradually to a red light, I'll downshift through each gear (except 1st) in case the light turns green before I come to a complete stop.

    Definitely wouldn't call myself an expert though. TurnFast.com has some tips on shifting as well: http://www.turnfast.com/tech_driving...shifting.lasso
