bodilx6 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 How do you guys Heel and Toe in the Soop? I'm having trouble doing it "the classic way" by using the ball of the foot on the brake and the heel on the accelerator. It is possible to adapt the technique where you use the left part of the ball of the foot to brake and the blip by tilting the foot and hitting the accellerator with the right part of the ball. BUT I'm a size 12 and my foot is still not wide enough to do that safely so that why I'm asking. Any thoughts? Have anyone found good aftermarked pedals that solve this issue? Some you you track 'o feliacs must have a solution that works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can manage it ok and I don't even wear clown shoes Using the other method just doesn't seem right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 The first thing to do is replace the pedals. I believe TRD and others do some different styles of pedal plate which makes things far easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Good point, I do have the optional steel pedals, they the same as the TRD ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Get an auto? :D I've had autos for 10 years or so in my MKII and MKIII, thats enough "old-man-shifting" for me Just luuuuve my 6spd. The first thing to do is replace the pedals. I believe TRD and others do some different styles of pedal plate which makes things far easier... I looked at some recaros, but they seemed just as small as the stock ones. You say TRDs are better? Is it the brake pedal being wider or the acc? Got a link?

Daston Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I use the heel on the brake and the ball of my foot on the throttle seems to work well I have average feet (10's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I used to keep my toe area on the brake and tilt my foot right so it's almost the right side of my ankle that blips the throttle, seemed to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I can heel and toe ok but I have small feet (small shoes). One other method of "heel and toe," I have seen is using the heel of the right foot to brake and the ball of the right foot blip the throttle.
