Yeah heel and toe is even trickier, but the most rewarding if you can do it properly (plus makes you ready for some quality track time).

It definitely took some convincing, but in the end I think the S2000's "cute" looks and appealing cost of ownership spoke for itself. Just glad the car never came with a slushbox.

I need to replace the clutch soon too. It slips a little between high rpm shifts and there's some vibration when resting my foot on the pedal. I'm guessing it's the throwout bearing.
