Downshifting to stop is really unnecessary and I don't do it myself.  Brakes are cheaper.  Only use engine brake when I go down long steep hills where I could possibly overheat my brakes.  Otherwise, brake all the time!

Downshifting to turn, I do either heel-toe or "HK taxi driver style", which is downshift just before I accelerate out of a turn.

Cabin filter is actually a useful thing besides cleaning the air.  It also protects your blower motor from dirt and debris.

I used to downshift all the time with my V8 Grand Cherokee which doesn't help big time, cuz the car is so heavy...(with at least 500lbs+ mod on lift, and bumper).  I AT is however doing very well, but I do change the AT at least 4 times with Amsoil within the 120,000KM, after every 4x4 season.

Anyway, I also downshift 200% of the time with my STi (stick shift only) since day 1, of course I rev match as perfectly as I can.  as far as I concern, the clutch is still strong, and my brake is at 50% (with a little track day + autoX), car is at 33,000 miles at this time.

i really dun want to see those 佰府 & 阿嬸 踩brake過彎.
過彎係比油過的,唔係踩brake過的。唔識楂車唔系罪﹐我唔會怪d佰府阿嬸.
永遠只用D波唔識拖波行一世車= retarded

heel toe in track = advance駕駛 = good for you.
heel toe in (50km/h limit) city = a waste of gasoline imo (unless u want attention from others, or u want to practice the skill)
heel toe in city with pedestrians gonna be dangerous because of the noobs(who think they are good), i guarantee.

anyways, mine is an automatic 4 door family sedan. so, no heel toe for me.
efficient driving > heel toe.
無必要的話就唔踩brake,無必要的話就唔比油=efficient driving.

Heel toe around town ??  I hope you mean on track ..   lol  

Even on track ..  nowaday car .. dont really need much heel and toe ..  

踩brake過彎 is common sense ..  even driving 4 times more HP ..  I still 踩brake過彎 ...  rather then 拖波 ..  $2K for brake is better then $15K for tranny ...

I guess I am old now... lol .. I was driving like an idiot when I was teenage too .. Rx7 .. Celica GTS . AE86 .. CRX .. Sirroco .. 325 ..  those aggresive days were gone ..

CP 佢指o既應該係 d人over speed入彎 搞到要係彎入面踩brake
or 更衰 正正常常 入到彎入面行緊 但都冇啦啦踩brake

Haha...why not do heel toe in city?  Waste gas?  I think a lot more people waste more gas than I do, especially the ones driving high power cars and driving excessive speed in stop and go traffic.  Get attention from others?  LOL...I'm pass that stage already lor.  Actually, heel toe helps with smoothness so it's not only for track.  Of course I don't do it every turn, I normally do it when I want to "catch" the yellow left turn light, so I speed up until right before the turn then heel toe.

字典仔

do u guys actually know what heel toe is? there is no point to do so around the city unless u always keep ur car in 1st or 2nd, at the most 3rd gear ~ without enough rpm unless ur brake stops like **** then maybe u can still have enough time to do heel toe, most car with better braking power in such a low rpm the car actually slowed down too much for u to heel toe (if i do want to heel toe maybe i have to downshift two gears lol)....

rev match is another thing, it's actually better than riding on your clutch for the smoothness during downshift and do u want to pay the extra penny on gas or riding ur clutch and let it wears?
