Pros and cons of engine braking?

[RENESIS VIII]

Agree with VR, do heel-toe alone. Old people bone cannot stand the excitement. lol....

Yeah, especially if I brake too hard then it will be really uncomfortable. Need wait until I'm very familiar with heel toe, then only can try it again while fetching grandparents.

Need to sneak out alone.......lol

Difficult. I'm like constantly under surveillance by family. Day time, grandparents at home. Night time, mother and aunt will be at home too. Sometimes when I go out without saying reason or location, came home sure get asked by 2 or 3 people at home.

I'm doing now...

If you are in a company that blocks social media website like Facebook, zth is the way to go.

Now I am trying to apply it whenever I am braking and down shifting. Drove my Wira alone just now. It is so much easier to do heel toe after switching from Myvi. Looks like driving in Myvi really makes me appreciate the driving feel in Wira.

Twisting my foot to jab the throttle pedal had also become easier and more natural now. Last time when I started, my foot movement is like jerky and I thought, will I ever going to learn this by the way things are going.

Update.

After trying heel toe for almost 2 months, I have gotten more familiar to it now. Able to brake smoothly like normal while at the same time jabbing the throttle pedal on my heel. Now, it has almost become a natural reaction for me to do whenever I brake and downshift.

Once again, thanks a lot for your guidance and help earlier, Tom. Same goes for others like 6UE5T for their tips and advice. Couldn't have done it without you all.

Ah, you're still active. So quiet lately. I actually thought you went back for CNY. Do you celebrate it back in your place?

No, I'm busy actually, still working now! Just while waiting for my programs to execute or someone to do something then I reply.

Back in Jkt, the Chinese celebrate too there but not as big as here.

Looks like a lot of work to rush before CNY. Hope you will enjoy a good break during CNY time.

I was wondering why he din't participate much in threads lately.

I've been trying to persuade bro Ixeo to try the Fleva on the other thread.

Yeah but still like maybe 2 more years to go on my current CSC so most likely bro Ixeo would already need to replace his tires before me!

I think if you got your feet position correct and used to it already, you can practice almost anytime during driving.

Now that I am used to it already, I can apply it almost everywhere even during city or town driving. When coming to complete stop shifting from 2nd to 1st gear also can do it.

Ixeo? I din't see him on this thread.

I think you went out of alignment is because sometimes I start to ask a lot of things.

Stay here, cannot go back coz still got much work to do here so cannot take long leave. :(

If so, spend more time with your wife and kids over here during the holiday. I think KL should be more quiet during CNY season. Hope you can have a good rest at that time.

2 more years later maybe the market will have even more new tyres to try out. More choices, even harder to decide.

Speaking of tyres, my friend with F30 320i that I mentioned in the reducing road noise level thread has changed his tyres at last. After two of his Good Year run flat got bulge, he changed into PS3 for all four. RM700 plus a piece. He told me noise level is lower, more comfortable and grip is also better than the run flats.

Sometimes out of alignment but still learning things ok mah......

Mentioned already runflats are hard and bumpy, and even if same model with normal model, traction is less. I am surprised his runflats got bugle...

One question, since your friend was on runflats, means he got no spare tyre, now change to normal tyres, what is his counter measure if got puncture?:hmmmm:
