Default Heel-Toe Downshifting and Engine Braking

What kind of Heel-Toe Techniques do you guys use. sometimes when i heel toe it seems weird, so weird that iono how to explain it in words.

I was wonderin how you guys did yours?
and how you do your engine braking.

I tried engine braking but it makes my tires squels when i down shift to slow down the car... i wanan know what's the proper way of doing it... Thanks

Slideways the legend show us all how you do your engine braking and heel-toe downshift

Have I been spotted? I used to run through 133 off the 405 towards Crystal Cove alot, partly because I was dating a girl from there. Then I went back to Angeles Crest and Ortega. Now I'm at the tracks.

I'm in Garden Grove, closer than you think.

More like where in the world is the "SEARCH" section? No offense, but there's a ton of threads on this subject.

Here's one thread that was posted in the ITR forum recently: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1456420

Congo, just keep playing around with it. You mentioned engine braking and the heal-and-toeing together; just want to make sure you understand the point of heal-and-toeing is not for slowing the car down. Let your brakes do that part. The purpose is to get the car in the proper gear to exit the corner.

Next fun thing for you to play around with is left foot braking...just don't try it if there is a car in front or behing you.
