I used to get the rear out all the time with the e30 when I did heel to toe. With the civic it's just understeer, understeer, understeer, well it wasn't that bad.

The door handle got a firm grasp, as did the inside of the seat.



It's a 270 degree, slightly uphill, barely banked right hander....marked at 20 or 25, but I enter at about 50 or so in 2nd gear, give it some steering in and blipping the throttle all the way around, hitting redline in 2nd shifting to 3rd gear on the exit to the straight.

i dont enjoy what it does to the car, i prefer to heel toe, but left foot brakin will gain the response i need sometimes.

Heehee.... sounds like a damn good time... :thumbup: Maybe I won't miss the Mt. Tam runs as much as I thought.

That turn is fun, but it's not on a canyon/mountain run...but there are some good roads like that around here too :rick:

Bind your feet like them Chinese chicks. Or drive barefoot.
