What ever works! It’s more about getting a throttle blip while braking than the actual “heel toe”. Logitech pedal is the exact, best way to put it lol

@@LEEMWEEZY Yea, it took me awhile to realize that lol.

No problem! Congrats on the new car!

Will do. Thanks for the input and thank you for watching!

I mean, you do get the best pedal feel with barefoot driving lol

Jesus boots works well. I love my flip flop heel toes

It’s a Makita XWT15Z. Kind of on the pricey side, but I think the auto slow feature is nice and worth it so it doesn’t over do it.

Granny shifting is the way brotherrrr 🤘👵🏽🤘

Haha definitely thought about picking up an osmo pocket for this. Less anxiety from a safety standpoint. lol

I’ll definitely give it a try! I always thought catching on the revs up would reduce wear because the flywheel and clutch would “accelerate” rotationally in the same direction and speed.

@@LEEMWEEZY As long as you dont get a kick in the butt or lurch forward it probably doesn't matter, its like a 500ms difference between when the clutch disc rpm changes and when you re-engage the clutch and your vehicle speed changes about 2mph which means the clutch is actually decelerating by the time you begin to release the clutch pedal an overblip of a maybe 100-200 rpm gives you that 500ms delay to complete the downshift and start engaging the clutch at the exact right rpm, hopefully that makes sense

No that makes complete sense. Thank you.

Good choice! Red was unfortunately not available in my area

Someone else in the comments had the same issue actually

Thank you! Haha I’m a staggering 5’6” and when first learning, I was experimenting with how far my body should be from the wheel. So I definitely understand the limitations. Luckily for my height, I guess I fit the demographic for a small Japanese 2+2 coupe lol. I have seen people actually get a small extension for the accelerator pedal. Maybe that may solve your issue by not having to rotate the foot as much by effectively having the brake and gas pedal closer together. Side note: I’ve been meaning to try some old pair of Vans, but I can’t seem to get away from the Converse.

Thank you for watching!

All the time 😂

​@@LEEMWEEZY😂😂👍

Agreed, Jubbal is full of shit sometimes and some of the stuff he says is kinda rude imo

@@JimmyDShea don't want to go on a bashing of Jubbal but have you seen his driving style! What's with all the sawing at the wheel whilst going into curves 🤣🤦‍♂️ this is why you have to take these youtube car reviews with a pinch of salt lol. I agree he's rude and comes off quite boastful..

Nice! Yeah 15mm is probably the way to go with the 2.5 inch studs. I also heard some people have had luck squeezing in 3 inch studs on without removing the axle nut. Something I may experiment with in the future.

I got you.

Next video on manual stuff probably going to be granny shifting vs double clutch. And after that, basic rev matching.

It was the biggest inhibitor to me learning. After a while, I learned how to do it comfortably with any other shoe.

I don’t think you’d look foolish driving this car! Whether or not you’d enjoy it, just depends on your lifestyle. There’s not too much room in the car for your typical outdoorsy type. But it makes for a great weekender car if you enjoy the looks and driving dynamics.

Only those who would rather drive a car “that lacks steering feel” is foolish, especially if the ride comfort is already sacrificed. Trust me, younger generations are more likely to be this foolish. One pathetic car is the Alfa 4C -- manual steering that still lacks feel!

I bought mine from 86speed! Subiemods looks like they have it for your model year with the burnt tips! These are both good and reputable websites.

@@LEEMWEEZY THANK YOU !

Yes that was pretty much the only gasket reused from stock

@@LEEMWEEZY thank you! Just bought one and will follow your tutorial. Earned a subscriber!

I just rewatched it myself and I realized I didn’t actually show myself reusing the gasket since I combined them together already the previous clip. Lol Thank you for watching! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hell yeah brotha! Let me know how it goes. If you got questions, feel free to ask here!

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video. I actually wanted a premium, but a base was all I could find…

I felt exactly what you did. Although I haven’t lowered my car yet nor added camber tho. The GR86’s steering is just too light, but it’s still precise and a good ratio.

Good question. Heel toe downshift should actually prolong your brake pads. Remember, you only need to heel toe when you’re slowing down. When you rev match into a lower gear, you actually use some engine braking as well. If you just cruise in neutral and brake, you’re using all brakes with no help from the engine.

@@LEEMWEEZY Wow, thanks for the info.

You don’t use any more breaks than if you weren’t to rev match at all. You only heel toe when you’re braking to slow down already.

you're essentially sharing braking force with the engine and brakes so it should actually put a little less wear on the breaks at the cost of slightly more gas. the other upside i can think of is when traffic starts moving again you're already in gear and less work is needed to get moving

Around 10,000kms - 15,000kms 😅

I already got my girl! So of course I went and got a sports car so other men can compliment me 😂

Only a manual steering has the intensity of saltwater fishing. I'm still keeping an 1984 Jetta coupe (GTI with a trunk).

I think that should work perfect. I kept the 2.5 inch studs on and installed 12mm spacers. To be honest, I could’ve gone 15mm with the current set up. But if you’re doing 3 inch studs, I think you’re golden with 20mm.

double clutch is quite a bit outdated atp with relatively "modern" synchromesh transmissions, its definitely smoother but for the most part its not needed unless skipping gears (double clutch rev matching every down shift is a massive flex though 😂) also the engine is effectively in neutral with the clutch disengaged the reason its smoother is because when you let the clutch out in neutral all the synchros reset before going into the next gear which is why if you want to skip gears going down you should double clutch it EG 5-neutral-3

lmao I just realized I said "pan in" I think it's dolly in LMAO

Ahh I see. I can definitely see that being an issue. Hard braking on track would go through the full range of motion of the pedal, making it easier to heel toe. Whereas if the brake pedal is already touchy and sensitive at the top, it’d be hard to heel toe safely on the road. Thank you for the input. And thanks for watching the video! I’ll probably ask you for track tips soon.

Meanwhile my 2001 clio has perfect pedals and brakes for heel-toe. Just weird

Honestly I’ve given up trying to heel toe my GT86. In normal road driving I just can’t reach the gas pedal while on the brakes without jerking the car around. I’m six foot and it’s just not feasible with the positioning of the pedals. Maybe when I get the little extension that raises my throttle a little higher but until then it’s not worth it to add into my daily driving routine.

Is your foot hitting the side wall? I can see if you’re tall enough, your knee being bent despite sliding the seat all the way back can cause some problems. Try doing more of a roll with the side of your foot until you get an extension? Sorry, it’s hard to help when I can’t physically see or simulate what you’ve been experiencing.

Thank you, Kevin! Yeah I probably should’ve kept the standard gauge since I wasn’t keeping RPMs high enough. But you can hear me tapping that throttle into the floor to try and get revs up 😅 Honestly, the phone mount you gave me is an underrated interior mod. I was just gonna suffer with putting it in the cup holder until you saved me 😂

Best bang for buck catback in my opinion!

@@LEEMWEEZY bro just picked up a used one for 200 bucks.

@@defi_ramsay damn that’s a steal. Hopefully came with complete hardware.

Glad someone understands the FUN factor. Lol it’s okay. I purposefully told her to be as harsh as possible in this video. She really doesn’t mind it. If it really bothered her, she would never get in it every weekend. 😂 She’s happy the car makes me happy and that’s all that matters.

@@LEEMWEEZY 7:45 Driver wants steering feel, while passenger(s) wants comfort. Oh well, almost all cars can only do either one, or even none! Some dude with wife/kid had to get rid off his Scion FR-S manual (which already got more steering feel than the newer-design “smoother & less-noisy” GR86：kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH2Zg3l3lKZ5gas ). Then when he test drove my mint-condition 1999 E36 coupe manual, he wanted to buy it from me so badly. I can see why -- more (hydraulic assisted) steering feel, more ride comfort, more quietness, more low-end torque (due to 2.8 inline-6), more interior room, more compact exterior (only 5'7" wide) while still providing more rear visibility width (more convenient for passing), plus the added Torsen differential. It's a comfy pampering sporty-feeling car that also comes with a tilt-able sunroof (to vent out hot air above your forehead....)!

Haha something I totally understand. I had a friend who’s an experienced track driver whip the car around, and I was grabbing for something that wasn’t there. LOL

As someone’s who has driven all three, Supra is definitely faster. But the new gen 86 is at least able to press you into the back seats throughout the whole rev range vs the FRS. I totally understand getting something a little different though.

Maybe if I had an extra 20-25k.. I'd get a Supra.. lol..

shit you want to talk about slow? I had z32 2+2. Heavy as fuck and only around 222HP same as this gr86 😅. At least the GR86 is light as fuck. Just skeptical about the engine in the gr86 is what keeping me from buying it. The last RWD car this size with a back seat and WEIGHT sold in the US before the frs and gr86 , is the s14. being around 2700-2800lbs is no joke while rwd sport cars today are pushing 3300lbs+. GR86 has smaller tires as well, so they are much cheaper to run through. For the price of a supra, u can get 2 gr86's. One to fuck around and drift and crash in, and one to cruise in 😁. Not everyone has the balls to push their car knowing they will someday crash it. I could afford to crash a gr86, but i can't afford to crash a supra 😅

@@mosswine5417everything you said is what has crossed my mind when buying the car. Lol. Especially your thoughts on the engine. Since I consider this a forever car, the good thing about Subie engines blowing up all the time is that there’s always a company to replace them and make them better 😂. And I was offered a manual Supra allocation when looking for this car, but couldn’t justify double the price. Glad we think alike.

@@LEEMWEEZY Agree, but the slower FR-S got more steering feel than the GR86 ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH2Zg3l3lKZ5gas ), which still isn't as bad as the “fast but numb-steering” stiff-riding Supra ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaSnq5-JoaqpmJI )

I couldn’t justify 2x the price for a little bit more fun out of a car. When set up properly, this car can keep up with a Supra without power mods on the track.

@@LEEMWEEZY true. I agree. Supra is nice and everything but I own the 86 and it’s still a boss most people confuse the 2 anyways 😂. Use the extra money you saved for mods and a nice dinner out.. or save it.

If you don't mind a 2-decade old car, the 2005 IS300 with LSD got 4 doors (but no fold-down rear seats).

The 86 definitely isn’t an engine first kind of car. But I agree with the styling. Too many fake vents in the Supra. Stock for stock, Supra looks more appealing to the general public.

The GR Corolla is better in numbers and practicality for sure. But the GR86 is definitely a better car to become a better driver on an entry level. I was offered a manual Supra while in my search for this car. But I couldn’t justify the price. Glad you’re enjoying your Supra!

I actually went with 12mm spacers all around. And with that I can lock in 13 threads. (New video next week). 15mm def would’ve been doable, but I didn’t want to make another costly mistake because these are non returnable. You only need 9.6 turns to properly engage this thread pitch safely. (12 divided by 1.25)

Yeah. When I fit even my shortest friends, I tell them to take their shoes off to be more comfortable. Pretty much backpack storage lol

Thanks! And believe it or not I got it off Amazon. Came in a 3 pack. Pretty cheap too lol
