I was wondering has anybody been able to use proper heel and toe technique? I've been trying, but in the snow it's a little tough and slippery (drifting isn't though!). I would like to get some tips on learning this technique. I've been practicing and pulled it off a couple of times, but if you guys have any additonal tips holla at me. :twisted: :evil: :twisted: :evil: :twisted: :evil: :twisted: :shock:

whoa... hold on now...
stay away from double clutching? why? i've been doing it for years... what's wrong with double clutching in the itr?
i know the car has synchros but double clutching makes downshifting much smoother. properly executed, the shifts glide right into gear and i don't have to wind the clutch out.
i excercise true double clutching technique: clutch in/neutral/clutch out/throttle blip/clutch in/downshift/clutch out... since i have experience and know what i am doing, it takes a fraction of a second longer than a straight downshift, if that.
what's the problem?

i use heel toe with double clutching when entering a corner.
i use double clutching in any other downshift situation where brakes are not used. since the right foot isn't used to brake, the heel toe is removed from the equation.
pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

Follow the posts and you'll read why double clutching is outdated on these types of cars.
If it is still not clear, if you will be at the EXPO, it will be my pleasure to explain in detail why we don't double clutch anymore with current vehicules. Especially in spirited driving situations or on the track. Heel and toe does the operation all in one sweep.
trust me on this one guys.
