[WinDz]

hahahah... no tacho mer no tacho lerr.. me from beginning until now also no tacho.. can learn wan .. feel the car .. slowly u can do it wan ler ..

 

[sakuraguy]

he he .. windz expert worr ;)

 

[WinDz]

xion13, now necessary that u have to twist ur foot to make sure u blip ur accelerator with ur heel wan .. if u got those accs pad and ur distance between ur brake and accelerator pedal is near.. u can alwiz do like what shown in picture 2.. no necessary have to do like picture 1 because takumi do like that in initial D.. :P

 

[WinDz]

wahhh machaaa.. mana expert.. mau share share knowledge saja...

 

[sakuraguy]

windz.. mine is 1st pic .. whenever downshifting .. especially tight turn and roundabouts are my toasts ;)

 

[WinDz]

me both .. ahahah depends which 1 i feel like i wanna use .. :P but starting starting me also like xion13, dont get used to twisting da foot to do it .. so i do picture 2 until i get used to it .. then i play play with 1... nowadays if normal normal driving then use 2 laa.. if going really fast n i get very excited, then i use 1 la .. scad MISS QIU.. :P

 

[xion13]

auxoura: yea la..one day yum cha..then u can show me u punya skill yg banyak the power lol..

Windz: pic 1 is almost impossible 4 me man.. i hafta twist my body slightly also.. when i do that i feel like i'm not in total control of the car.. and at times the steering in the way lol... but i'm still trying lerrr... zzzzzz.... pic2 ar.. maybe i'll try that lor.. but as auxoura said, better learn the proper way and dun use accessories.. nanti wanna drive other car cannot.. and i think my pedals cannot do the pic 2 way...

 

[lozo]

the technique on windz picture 2 is for floor mounted throttle pedal from what i observe...

 

[calvin9683]

agree with windz...not really need a tacho to do that....
by the time u r doing it u got no time to look at tacho...
just use feeling la....
last time i start doing oso no tacho....now pasang liao do oso no time to see....hahaha

 

[WinDz]

xion13: true also ler .. but then if u can perform picture 2 without the accs pad.. then can aledi .. u dont have to put in one also ... cos it depends on ppl also , cos if u really cant perform, then ur aid will be a set of accs pedals..like me, my foot and small so ah .. picture 2 is kindda hard for me cos wira's accelerator pedal and brake is kindda far. cos i starting i try picture 2 cos picture 1 ah if u dont get used to it . like u said really wan twist the body and lose balance and concentration on the road somemore.. <!--emo&:D--><img src='style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle'

lozo: mine not floor mounted wan wor .. but then can use also wan lerrr.. but then can easily miss que wan lerrr.. now most of the time i use the technic like in picture 1 lerr.. get used to it aledi ..

calvin: glad that u think the same way i do , cos for me personally , even i have a tacho(last time got install a 2" wan but then kena cilok when send to workshop) i hardly look at it also wan ler ..when u really wanna go fast and tackle a corner .. ur eyes will be on the road.. i dont think u will heal and toe and look at ur tacho.if u did so i fear later after u finish heel and toe .. u end up landing on the divider. since ur concentration is on the rpm instead of the road.. <!--emo&:D--><img src='style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle'
alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> so most of the time i guess everyone does this also , u will listen to ur engine sound and feel the car instead of looking at ur tacho wan ler..

*im just sharing my experience, if there is anything i said wrong please correct me.. im still a learner as well.. *

 

[escaflowne]

yeah agree wit mr windz..althought i have a tacho but dun look at it when doing heel and toe.listen to the sound of the engine and feel it.dun rush things out when u first pratice. try pratice wit sport shoe or a racing shoe first..when u r used to..u wear slipper also can do(but miss q rate higher la)

 

[WinDz]

wear slipper dangerous laa... miss que 1 thing.. later can kena saman wan laaa.. take out slipper and barefoot drive only bah.. hahaha got better feel than wearing racing shoe man .. direct contact with the pedal .. :P

 

[calvin9683]

wear slippers kene saman??
u sure ah??
i everytime wear slipper de le....
i last time when learn wear sch shoes de....hahaha...tat time SPM finish paper early then go out rounding...tats when my fren tought me....

 

[glee]

The technique doesnt really matter, as long as you can do what you need to do, which is braket to slow the car down, and blip the throttle to bring up the engine speed to match the speed of the wheels. ;) so there is no right or wrong.
