Left foot braking in the e30...

Try it you might like it or? start stealing cones you see on road every now and then then set up your own auto x course and prctice with out paying for Auto-x time.

btw I'm pretty sure the pedal configurations are the same in RHD cars.. (clutch/brake/gas)

My bad, I didn't finish typing out what I was thinking. :oops: I meant as far as shifting.

I'm way too uncoordinated to use left foot braking. I can't imagine trying to even shift in a RHD car.

It's not too bad. I used to go to England about twice a year.
For normal driving if you just payed attention it was fairly easy to get the job done. The longer you drove that way, the easier it got. The weirdest thing for me was hanging a fast left turn. I wasn't used to being on that side of the car and it almost felt like i was going to tip over or something. That was worse the than shifting for me.

We rented a Ford Mondeo (Contour) and one of our friends over there had the same car with sport springs and shocks. We got into some spirited driving while going across town and I would actually reach under my left arm and shift with my right hand during the cross-gate shifts (2-3,4-5, 5-4, 3-2). I could still shift faster and more accurately reaching under and when someone is mounted 1 foot off your rear bumper, you definitely don't want to miss a shift. Funny thing is that I was in front in a stock rental car and on roads I didn't know as well as him. I beat him to where we were going and all his friends still talk about it and razz him for getting beat by an American.

I'm way too uncoordinated to use left foot braking. I can't imagine trying to even shift in a RHD car. I do use, heel-toe a bit, but since my size 12's make it a little difficult, I end up doing both pedals with the sides of my foot.

Haha, u say that, and I thought the same thimg about LHD, until I did it, and u get used to it in like 10 min
