@@Pedro_opc really depends on your pedal placement, i find it rather hard in my Ford focus 2011. Brake pedal is too high and far away from the gas pedal. In a mx5 of is zo easy because of proper pedal placement.
Unfortunately, that’s not the intake sound. The growl is the exhaust, and the whine is the transmission. Some people report having their transmission replaced in warranty because of that, while others are being told it’s normal. Hopefully it doesn’t lead to mechanical failures.
Great video! I have the same car, also a ND1, and I would like to learn to heel and toe. Thanks for showing ur feet position and movements, I will try to do it myself.
Looks like a fun little ride, we are blessed to have Mazda because no one else wants to make a simple pure standard transmission na sports car for the masses anymore.
Good posture and technique - great fun! I see the "powers that be" weren't keen on surrendering more than the minimum of countryside to build that road. Thanks for sharing...
@@Jimmy_Wei doesnt handle way better. The low center of gravity with the boxer engine makes up for some of the weight difference and the brz are cheap to get especially second hand
Find a long empty stretch of road and just practice accelerating and heel toe braking along the straight section. Not much to it other than just doing it. Important to remember to release the clutch after you blip the throttle though. I would often forget to do that while learning it.
It's no big deal. I think some enthusiasts make much more of it than is justified. I had just as much fun driving my ND1 without fussing with this nonsense.
I have to admit, I am an S2000 purist, but Sring a good driver on a beautiful road with my 2nd favorite roadster is quite a treat! I subscribed! Loving the footwork shot too
Wonderful driving! Out of interest, and perhaps lack of knowledge - I know that modern cars have syncro and double clutching is not really necessary....but owning a ND Miata, and hearing about some gearboxes have died, I am wondering if double cluching would benefit the gearbox i.e. cause less wear and shock to internals...? I am always double clutching, but not always very smoothly, and surely single clutch downshifting would allow better control of my rev-matching....anyone knows? Thx
@@kojack635 Yes I do fit pretty snugly inside a Miata of any generation. I used to be a Valet driver and have driven many Miatas, even having worked events for my local Mazda dealership at times. The legroom is actually better than you'd think, however if most of your height is in your torso and not your legs like mine, I can see maybe the top of your head probably getting very close or touching the roof when it's up. For me I had about 2 inches before my head would hit the top. I doubt I'd ever be able to get in with a racing helmet though.
Just practise it while driving at everyday slowish speeds first, slow engine speed so you dont get a nasty surprise by screwing it up. If you have to change down during normal driving while approaching a corner or even a junction, just try it. It's not hard it just takes practice. Heel and toe can definitely be used in everyday driving.
When you downshift, the engine is spinning at a higher rpm than the gearbox. We blip the throttle to “match” the rpms of the gearbox & the engine, which gives a much smoother downshift as opposed to a rather jerky one if you don’t do heal & toe
im looking to get a manual miata, never driven stick before.... i see hes blipping the throttle on downshifts, which in my head seems difficult.. is throttle blipping necessary for downshifting?
@@coltonniemann9811 Nah man. I respectfully disagree with Lockdown Guitar. The engine needs to rev higher whenever you downshift. That's what downshifting means. You can either slowly let go of the clutch and have it do the rev matching for you, in the process making the downshift slow and wearing your clutch out way more especially at high rpms, or you blip the throttle yourself so downshifts are smooth and quick. It's not just a racing technique. I blip the throttle on every single downshift I do with my lowly econobox VW Golf just daily driving the thing. I even heel-and-toe downshift everytime too. Lots of people daily driving manual cars do. Some manual drivers think this is just a racing technique and is optional otherwise. To me and a lot of people, it's just the proper way to drive a manual car. Everyone can learn how to do it, especially with a car like the Miata. Just takes practice.
On not-synchronized trasmissions you should always hell-toe to keep your transmission rpm high, when the trasmission rpm are less than the wheels' ones they usually block or slow down.
@@AnnoyingPlastic What happens when you downshift? Let's say you're doing 50 kph at 4th gear at 3000 rpm. Now you want to downshift to 3rd while maintaining the same speed. What happens to the rpm? They rise right? So at 3rd gear at 50 kph, the engine is now at, let's say, 4000 rpm. How do you get the engine to rev to that rpm smoothly? You press the throttle just enough to rev it to 4k while you're downshifting to 3rd. That's called rev matching. Stick drivers who don't know about rev matching let the clutch out slowly as they're downshifting, relying on the clutch to bring engine speed to the right rpm. It's just not the right way to do it. You're putting undue stress on your clutch and other parts of the transmission and it can't be done quickly especially at high rpms or you risk upsetting the car. With rev matching, downshifting takes less than a second. You gotta rev match every single time you downshift. Now what about when you need to downshift while braking? That's what the guy in this video is doing. He's pressing the brake pedal, downshifting, and pressing the throttle all at the same time so that the downshift is smooth and fast. That's called heel-and-toe downshifting. I hope you see why it's necessary to do this. If not, just search for heel and toe downshift here on TH-cam. There are tons of videos that hopefully can explain it to you better. You have to learn how to do this while driving a manual. Just keep practicing. That's where all the fun is in driving stick.
I mount mine on the top of the "wall" behind the seats, above the glove compartment. Using a curved (helmet mount I guess) default mount with 3M. In superwide I get this pov too, so I guess thats what he has done.

your heel & toe looks relaxed and 2nd natured i aspire for that amount of polish on my own technique.

Wow nice driving. Your heel n toe is very smooth perfect. I love it this video.
I wish I could heal and to so easily, my legs are too long to get in a good position for it.
I have a similar problem! I have very long legs (I'm 6'4) and relatively small feet (8.5 us size) so it's very uncomfortable for me to even try.

hi the video is really cool. I have a question I am new with cars. When downshifting why are you touching the accelerator a bit? Sounds so cool
What's a good and safe way to learn heel-toe? And between what gears?
