i was pretty impressed, they were going fast and just swinging around getting close to walls and stuff. I guess if you have the money to burn you probably don't mind wiping out once or twice.

Jesus, where did they find 600 pounds to lose, was it all stuff the Enzo needed to be street legal in the US? I seriously would have poo poo my pants if I would have been in that car during those laps and the driver handed me a loving phone, no question about it.

I don't know what you're seeing but there is no heel-toe accel there. Just rev matching.
Shifting without the clutch? He's running a straight cut box (if not sequential), from the sounds of it, what do you expect?

'Dusting the brakes' is about the only thing he does that I don't when I'm driving daily.

At the risk of sounding like a jap fag... go watch some of the touge runs by Keiichi Tsuchiya. They usually have foot box cameras.

I only have links to one shoot out, no foot cam in this one.

If you want some stellar foot cam shots, I think the video is called "The Drift Bible" or something like that. I forget who the driver is, some guy who is pretty famous for drifting. While I have no intention of ever doing any of the things in the video, it's fun as hell to watch.

I heel-toe rev-match multiple times a day, even when commuting. I never ever downshift without some sort of rev-matching. Driving is more fun that way. All the extra practice means I can have any combination of inputs from the three pedals, despite having only two feet. Shifting without the clutch is personal preference, though most people refrain from it to save their transmission.

This is real footwork: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DdGoFhs1pf4

This guy on a local rotary forum has started making and selling gilmour belts. Previously the easiest way to get gilmour belts and pulleys for rotarys was to import them from a place in aussie. The aussie place stopped exporting them, so this guy made his own to sell.

He made them twice as wide to make them "skream like a filthy skool girl".

I thought the aussie gilmours were loud, these are just crazy.

I heel-toe all the time, it's pretty much a reflex for me now. Shifting without a clutch? I've done it a few times when I lost hydralics in the clutch system, but otherwise you're right, I don't have the equipment to manage that yet. I actually have to use the clutch. I would say that is even more pedal movement, wouldn't you? And no, I don't tap the brakes before corners I already mentioned that in my first post. That didn't seem like anything to be about.

I agree with the posts above, those crazy drift/touge guys really work those foot pedals. So do the rally cross guys.

The idea is that they dont slip at high rpms which ported rotarys can attain. The side effect is the noise. People think the noise is 'mad gilly whine, bro'.

It adds an awful noise to an awful-sounding engine, thus achieving the double negative and making passers by cream their pants at its super-ness.

I think I remember hearing that a good portion of gilmer-drive belt whine can be eliminated by drilling a hole in each negative tooth on the pulley along the centerline of the belt. Supposedly, this allows enough air to escape that the sound is less prominent.
