man... you guys are noobs....

in an e36, i have found that the pedals are close enough for my foot to not have to use my heal.. i can keep my foot straight well pressing the gas and brakes..

this doesnt apply too what seems everyone on these boards who have auto transmissions

rev matching is basically for a smooth downshifts. adding gass raises the engine speed(rpms). when you down shift, the rpms raise, and causes a jerky motion. say you are down shifting from 5th to 4th... you want to raise the rpms while the clutch is down, raising them to where the rpms will be once you are in 4th (very smooth transition from 5-4th (or whatever gears you are going into)).

heal toe is basically this, but adding in braking...

yea... all i'm saying is, the only way braking while rev matching would help is if you're going into a corner (never went to a track myself but that's the only reason i can think of)

The e36 auto trans is complete trash.. in manual mode its like a 1.5 second delayed shift, and if you drop to say second at 40 it doesnt rev match for you, which throws the forward momentum onto the torque converter until the revs catch up with the rest of the car.. not exactly great for the TC.

I dont even see how you can possible rev match either, because unless you go into neutral it is always in a gear, no?

that or just slowing down in general while not stressing the clutch while down shifting.

Under HEAVY breaking on the track, it is NOT recommended to use the toe-toe method. This method typically has a much higher chance of decreasing brake pedal or increasing gas pedal too much. On the street, the toe-toe method is the one I would prefer.

I thought that was for the TOYOTA Camry CE CSI??

I have no idea what you are talking about! lol

BUT, I did find some random information with relation to BMWs and Camry's.

Quote:

The Camry was less popular in Europe, where the design was considered bland and incompatible with European driving habits. Toyota positioned the Camry as a BMW 5-Series rival, yet it lacked the cachet to compete. Following long-term poor sales, the Camry was withdrawn altogether from Europe in 2004, leaving the smaller, UK-built Avensis as the top-of-the-line sedan. Because there is no station wagon version for the fifth generation Camry, the Camry sedan and the Avensis station wagon are sold side by side in markets like New Zealand.

lol, toyota honestly thought the camry could compete with the 5 series? what a crock of shit.

**brien4787** · 01-26-2006, 02:31 AM

heel-toe actually. or is it toe-heel. I cant rememebr because im rpetty drunk.

One of those is the correct terminology, but im BMW's it's more usually inner-foot to outer-foot.
