you're not accelerating if the clutch is in

Fair point :) I accelerate/brake simultaneously in other circumstances though.

Especially in an auto lol. My ZX. Accelerator + brake = lots of smoke :cool:

you heel toe an MR2? when? why?

I have to double-clutch to shift from 4th to 3rd because my gearbox is f**ked. Plus I think it's a good exercise anyway because it reduces wear on your syncros.

nor are you accelerating if you are braking :) how can you be going faster and slowing down AT THE SAME TIME?

I think Newton would have something to say about that..

The engine could be accelerating though :cool: Just not the car itself.

but you can accelerate while applying the brakes

lol what idiot told you that? you know that doesn't apply to modern (post 1990's) gearboxes right? they engage syncros as soon as you push the clutch in. I put it to you that you're fucking up your syncro's MORE by jumping on the accelerator like a tard and not matching revs to gears exactly (ie not needing to use syncros) while using your clutch still while you "heel-toe".

Also, syncro gears cost less than drive gears to replace. Unless you're driving an auto, in which case heel toeing is 100% retarded.

Widebody and still got poke. Damn.. Wonder what the specs on those wheels are.

I know exactly what spec they are. They're "omg look at this sweet shit on yahoo auctions, cheap too, I'll buy em and find out if they'll fit later" spec.

actually just looking at that pic, he may be running hard as fuck suspension so his tyres don't scrape and slight poke purposely. points to him if he is.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
