Considering doing road course work next summer. The 4th Gen brake and gas are not really ideally set up for heel-toe shifting...what are you guys doing to improve this setup? Are you just replacing the pedals with sparco's or are you totally modifying the the assembly...or is the fact I've never worn race shoes throwing me off and this setup isn't as bad as what I thought?

That's your problem. The term "heal toe" comes from many years ago. Today, the term stuck, but the action is different. When you step on the brake, use just the left half of your foot. More like just the ball of your foot. It'll take practice to know how far over you can go without sliding off the peddle. Then you roll your foot for the right which allows you to blip the the throttle.
YouTube it, I'm sure there are some videos out there that will better explain it. |
