Left Foot Braking

[stoney]

ok the mini has a habbit of doing that on roundabouts mine dose it if i go in a bit hard i some times use left foot if realy having a sprited drive

As a technique it can be used for a few things.

If you're ever going to try it, find a long, straight, and most importantly empty piece of road, to try braking with your left foot in a straight line, til you get used to the amount of pressure required.

I'm well aware of the amount of pressure required, but never used both pedals exactly at the same time. As said, it's impossible on modern cars.

Sorry, meant to state 'most' modern cars. When i had my last two Audi's this issue was discussed on Audi-sport.net and i thought it affected most Audi's too, it certainly cut the throttle on my A3

It cuts the power on my dads Audi, mums Jazz and sisters Lupo lol... not that I'm harsh on their motors hehe

cant left foot brake my mums sharan so i just use the handbrake instead to brake the back end

Is that why the handbrake on that thing is so sh*gged?

Hamish, this Audi, which engine is it?

[Hamish]

Its an Audi TT, 1.8, just the 180, it was one of first ones in country and unforunately he's kept it... NOWT but PROBLEMS.

Everything has gone wrong on that car but he likes the look of it so he's keeping it :( lol

I thought the very early ones had a throttle cable, like the MK4 Golf's.

Who knows!
