ACCORDING TO WIKTIONARY......."to brake (third-person singular simple present brakes, present participle braking, simple past and past participle braked)"

so the rx8club version would be....."to brake (third-person singular simple present brakes, present participle braking, simple past and past participle brunk)

This thread is full of win. I can't stop laughing.

Anyway, isn't the clutch going through unnecessary wear and tear when engine braking is applied all the time? I do both--braking and engine braking.

If you brunk perfectly while rev matching then it will not wear out your clutch.

Better to wear your brakes rather than your clutch. Unless your on a track of course.
