Definately down for some waxing... If someone perverts that statement, I will destroy you. Haha

And we've got to get some new footage, I've got a video idea.

Miked, I put it all the way to the floor, so I can feel the engagement points better, it makes for much smoother rev matching and downshifting. Wish you could see in the video, but I've pretty much got Heel-Toe (A method of downshifting, while braking heavily. Basically you hit the brake with your Toe side, and hit the accelerator with your Heel side, so you can brake, and rev match the downshifts... It's taken me a while to perfect it.) nailed on the head, it makes driving so much more fun. But my clutch is starting to go, mostly because I like to drive... But it's worth it, haha.
Yeah a while back I was watching my dad heel-toe downshift in his 996 turbo and he made it look easy...tried it in my car and i was jerkin the brakes all over the place. ive got rev matching no problem, but heel toe is somethin i gotta work on.

It just takes practice man... Sit in the car with it in park, and practice revving to particular RPM with your heel, while your toes are on the brake. Then go for a drive on an empty road, and practice it. It'll take you a while to get, but it's a really good skill to have for driving.

Oh I've got some road footage, believe me, I've got PLENTY.

I'll post it up once it's done hosting... i.e forever.
I'll host it for you

Sweet, where can I send it? Streetfire.net is starting to REALLY **** me off, the hosts take forever, the quality is crap, and the comments feature is pointless because the only people who ever comment are E-Thugs who like to talk out of their Asses.

Where do I need to send the file?

I use my heel on the brake and my toes on the gas, im weird i guess. Its just the way i learned it, i tried to learn it the other way around but it didn't feel as good since ive broken each ankle and sprained the gas foot severly.
