Heel-toe shifting is used more when you are hard on the brakes and coming into a slower portion of the track or where ever you are driving and want to down shift. It essentially is rev matching while braking so that on corner entry, during cornering and on corner exit, you are always in your powerband. With the ball of your right foot, you get on the brakes and with the heel of your right foot you are manipulating the throttle all at the same time. I find that in the Si, its alot easier to just sidestep the gas instead of heel-toeing, but then again, I have big feet so I dunno. To each his own.
Double Clutching is pretty much pointless now. It was necessary way back when they didn't have syncros in trannys. When you wanted to shift, it required you to push in the clutch, move the shifter to neutral, release the clutch, blip the throttle, push in the clutch, select your gear and release the clutch. Kind of a pain, but it beat grinding gears and jerky shifts!
