Pros and cons of engine braking?

[vr2turbo]

This is a bit tricky during start because you will often forget about doing it.

Hahahaha, true. If driving cars with double clutch gearbox like R35, I think the engine will rev match for them automatically during downshifts.

Many of my friend's kids, all don't want the manual......lol

Any suggestion on how should I record the video? I don't have a GoPro or any specific camera holder to place it in my car.

It might look a bit funny if I recorded it. My feet movements were not as smooth and fluid as those found in your video. Although I can do it, they are not 100% perfect all the time. Pardon me for this.

If you can, just find a way to tape your phone to the passenger headrest and you're set.
No need for multi camera yet, just visual and sound of the moment is sufficient for now Renesis. who knows, It might help you spot what you don't see when you drive

That is why I said last time I got laughed upon when I say I like to drive manual. And almost everyone tells me that I will regret driving manual later. So far, driven manual for 3 years, still enjoying it as if like I just learned to drive yesterday...

Oh, I thought you want the camera to record my feet movements. I'll try and figure out a way to do it.

Oh, I thought the Sonata is driven by your daughter instead. I remember that story you said before her colleague cannot reverse the Sonata because it is a manual.

Actually in more recent series, they are driving auto. If you have the movie and pause it at the right moment, you can see that they are driving auto.

In Ipoh, a car or at least motorcycle is definitely needed to go working. Public transport really can't do much.

Drive to work, can practice heel toe technique every day.
