100 percent agree with ppl who say forget heel toe and rev match, there is much greater chance to get yourself in trouble when you have so little experience driving mt. Stick with the basics and dont lug the engine, personally i think 5th gear is on thw edge of whats acceptable for 45mph, this car does best on fuel i find in between the 3000 and 5000 range. Gas is cheap for this car so dont worry about keeping the revs down to save gas cause its better to be in the right gear, having power and torque on the road incase of emergency manuvers than save a minor amount of fuel gambling your life and car.
Personally if i was going 45mph and i had to make a right turn, i would probably be in 4th from half a block away i would shift to 3rd and just let it coast to slow down applying brake as nesessary to keep space with the car in the front(if there is one) when the speed is 20-30 mph shift to 2nd should be close to the corner now and just drive through the corner. And like someone said if your braking keep the car in gear, when the revs drop below 2000 you should down shift this should work all the time during regular driving. Spending on gas and tires, seat time is the only way to learn and get better, after you learn the basics then you should try to rev match after that then learn heal toe. Trying to rev match and heel toe after a couple days of driving is really not a good idea. And always keep power on the ground meaning dont coast with the clutch depressed.
