*Without labouring or pinging.
I rev match when downshifting all the time. Mainly 'cuz I'm a Takumi wannabe. Heel-toe, heel-toe. Sometimes I have downshift to first, as my car rolls a hell of a lot around corners and it's surprisingly easy to understeer the damned thing if I enter a little too fast. And what with it's total lack of torque what so ever I have to rev to get it moving in the kinda way I want it to. So yeah, it just takes practice to match the box up to the engine between changes, especially when going from second to first.
Oh yeah I drive a 1992 CB Lancer with worn shocks and an old tired bitsamissing engine.
Okay, now start flaming me for driving a shit car like I'm racing. *puts on flame suit*

Tis true, he dose heel-toe, poor abused cb lancer...

The only abusing he does of that thing is verbal..
