I dunno, guess it just seems easier for me anyways...otherwise i feel like im twisting my foot and it feels stupid. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT Dead for now --> Soon to have a 3S-GTE 02 WRX --> This is for speed - Borla Exhaust - TurboXS BOV - Custom CAI 02 Civic EX - MB Quart Reference 5.25" Components - Rockford MTX 8" Subs in the doors - Alpine Type S Rear Fills - 2x Alpine SWR-1042D Subs in a custom fiberglass box - Alpine F345 Amp for the front doors - Alpine M605 on each Type R - Phoenix Gold wiring - Alpine CDA-9855 Head Unit - Alpine Amp link - 2x Rockford Fosgate 1 Farad Caps - The best Viper 791 alarm install ever

When Im full on racing on the track or driving hard, I have to heal-toe in the Celica because on every down shift, I hit the floor with the accelerator when I blip it. If you think heal-toe in the celica is hard, try it on a beamer. I nearly pulled a hamstring trying to hit the gas.

he he, i think i will be the only persone here who is learning how to brake with left leg

it is almost the same as Heel-toe driving

It was very hard to use my left leg for braking but after few weeks of practice (on clear road offcorse) now it is getting better and better... And all i can say that sometimes people just ask IS YOUR CAR RWD?? Cuz i can slide into the corner if the reaction and trajectory is good

Its kinda fun

"Aw, he's using left foot braking technique. You don't use that technique with FR cars very often, but you can use your left foot for braking for sensitive control at the limit. FF cars like the {st204} experience understeering, when you step on the gas pedal. They use the left foot braking while depressing the gas pedal to lessen the rear load to stay on the ideal path. Its an advanced technique. If he used the he must be a really good FF driver. He must be very fast. He's fast." - Initial D

I don't remember what the hell that guys name is, nor could i find a pic of who he is, but its the Manager of the gas station. Tach's, Iggy's, and Coal's boss.
