Its the "Heel + Toe" technique mate. Basically, as he breakes for a corner he needs some extra stopping power, therefore changes gear down for the corner to bring engine breaking into play. As he clutches in to change gear, he quickly 'blips' the accelerator which makes the revs jump and then he puts the car into gear which causes a breaking effect.
Yea I guess. Never learned this shifting technique. I want to learn it, seems like something you NEED to know when circuit racing/time attacks, etc etc.
its not about lowering the vtec point mate. the torque in B-series doesn't even come closer to K's torque. i mean I drove very fast DC2 with lowered vtec point and its like a bicycle compared to my K20a DC5 type R
But if the DC2 did get a 6 speed gearbox, 4th and 5th could be shorter. That way you didn't have those big gaps from 3rd to 4th to 5th and still be able to cruise at a reasonable rpm... Drive one with a 98spec gearbox, as the one in this race, and you'll know what I'm talking about!
You can even pop the clutch a little and get little boost off the brakes. When you downshift at high speed your tires might have more resistance to spinning at the same speed as in nuetral or to be correct off gear. So lets review downshift is acutally - resistance while nuetral is O resistance if your on the gas in an FF car your pulling it forward putting weight on the rear of the chassis getting pos reistance thats why you can burn out. hard downshifts have the oppisite effect ie you skid
i love the jdm dc2.
and i like the b series more. the b feels honest. real and a bit rude and i like that a lot.
A DC2 with a 6 speed gearbox would be near perfection!
H2B bluetop with RBC manifold, there's a win
The great battle of the FF's!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the way they downshift using the brake + gas, I need to learn how to do that better. Im sure it will considerably increase my track times.

A DC2 with a K20A/6speed IS perfection.
i love kinoshati's reaction when he was overtaken lol
thats because of the displacement, if you check the numbers from a b20 vtec, you'll find that its very similar to the k20a or even better
i love sound deadening in dc5 :D
cool heel toe technique,looks really tricky to do,but i guess it just takes practice and yo gata get the feel for it:)
it's a shame that honda downstroked the b18c to 1.6l... the b18c would fit great to the ek9 =)

@keego92 I feel nostalgic about the B18C. I can't let it go, plus IMO it sounds better than the K20

i love all 3 of them!

In this kind of race you will never get to use the 6th.
