Pedal positioning

[FloArm]

I find that the brake and gas pedal placement is not ideal for spirited driving and heel/toe. I have read in many forums that people find heel toeing super easy and wonderful, but I find my brake pedal to be too centered between clutch and gas, and the gas pedal a bit too far back. Anyone else feel this? And if so, is there an adjustment that can be made?

Auto rev match is super easy and wonderful too, but if you just can't help making your car worse you can try the throttle pedal spacer from Acuity. It put it in a position that was super painful for me, so now it's collecting dust.

I just found that one and was about to place an order. What was your experience with it? I agree the rev match is nice, but half the fun is doing it yourself and getting that perfect sync.

This opinion purely personal to me, and since our bodies and driving preferences are all different your experience could be completely opposite, but it just put it in a position that hurt and I didn't feel like waiting to get used to it. If it didn't have rev-match I probably would have kept it on and dealt with it, but I see no reason to disable one of the best driving features we have.

Just curious; what car do you think has perfect pedal placement?

 

[FloArm]

From what I’ve driven, the Gt350r. Felt just right. Perfect? Who knows, all subjective.

Haven't driven one, but good benchmark. I can't heel-toe anyway; maybe I should give a 350R a shot?

I do find it hard to practice this as well. I already speculated to have the same experience as @creaturemachine so haven't thought more past that. Think I'd prefer if I could rather position the brake further back instead.

Some people position their heel-toe differently. I’ve always done it the same as this guy with heel in the center and using both sides of the foot. Although everyone’s foot sizes and comfort levels are different

Yeah using heel-toe as it's described is mega awkward and this guy shows how it should be done. I guess side-side doesn't have a catchy enough name.

I too have a hard time Heal toeing in the ITS had the same prob in the FK8 also. If I'm doing spirted driving n I have to brake hard I can heal toe fine but normal driving where I don't have to brake that hard its hard for me. Maybe its bc my ft are small (SZ 8) . I installed the acuity pedal spacer on the ITS, had it on my FK8 also. I think its a great item, looks great easy install, adjustable and it just works IMO.

I find it very hard to heel toe as well. My ND Miata on the otherhand is a joy to heel toe.

Curious are you guys " heel to toeing during your daily commute, track or back country roads?"

 

[wtam1100]

Yep that one.

All of the above! Pretty fun to do it.

Yep that one.

Which position did you end up using?
