Heel Toe Forum

Practicing heel blipping during both mild brake pressure (street driving) and hard brake pressure (track driving) was helpful for me with my other cars. I found that getting my technique down for gentle street driving didn't translate very well to harder braking at the track.

Thankfully the street I live on is right off of a 75mph highway. So I do get to practice it with late aggressive braking at least once a day. For me it was much more tricky with light braking! I use the big toe/little toe technique than the actual heel/toe technique. Feet are too big to be moving my feet like the rally drivers do lol.

Agreed. Heel/toe during light braking is noticeably different from doing it on track and before corner entry but does help you get the basic order of operations down. Doing it on track introduces a whole other mental element having to time it and just takes practice.

I recently got a standalone abs system installed to cure my f&*&ing ice mode for good. Only "bad" side effect is that now I have to do my own heel/toe as it stole the rear wheel speed sensor outputs.

With that now being the case and me still having an organic based clutch in there, I might have to upgrade the material. I'm not as perfect as the computer.
Side note: the characteristics of our engine make low rpm rev-matching more challenging imo, due to the increased amount of "lag" down there.

What abs system did you buy?

Tevis MK60, with proportioning valve installed also.

BTW to dispell a myth: If you look up how these valves work they are indeed pressure regulating valves, not simple flow limiting devices.
