The difficulties of heel-toeing have been discussed a few times on here.
I know that some people have no issues with the spacing of the brake/gas pedals, and how deeply recessed the gas is in comparison to the brake, however, for those of us who do have issues, what have you done to rectify it?
I've been thinking about throwing an aftermarket gas pedal cover, similar to what Sparco make, on top of my stock gas pedal. I figure that this will achieve two things:
1. The contact point of the gas pedal will be raised slightly, to come closer in line with the brake pedal.
2. The aftermarket pedal should be slightly wider, and can be attached in such a way that it helps to close the gap between the gas and brake.
Has anyone tried this? Any thoughts on how it worked/felt?
I'm still working on learning to perfect it with the stock setup, but this car remains the biggest pain in my ass to heel-toe in daily situations. It's alright when I'm hustling through the mountains, but I'd like to be able to achieve better rev-matching in my daily commute.
