Icon2 heal toe shifing in ek civic coupe?

is there a way to get to brake and gas pedal closer together? iv been curious on heal toe shifting but its like i cant reach the gas pedal hardly and i wear a size 12 boot so i know my feet are big enough.

so either a theres a pedal set that puts them closer to gether or angles them different or im doing it wrong.

so can some one help me out.

And get rid of the boots and get you some pumas. It's easier and less work with small shoes

most aftermarket pedal sets have a larger gas pedal. 96-00's are so weird. i can heel toe no problem in my integra, but it seems the ek civics have it farther apart.

Like was already said, get rid of the boots. Get some properly fitting driving shoes, or at least some Pumas. I learned heel toe bare foot in a parking lot, then with my DCs in the lot, then on unused roads before doing it on a daily basis. Better safe than sorry.

Yes, the EJ6/8 pedals are **** for heel toe. The best feeling set I've had are the Mugen pedals I have right now. Good grip, and the right positioning. No, you can't just move the pedals closer to each other without major modification.

i practice heel toe sometimes on the stock ek pedals and i use my regular dc sneakers, im a size 11, so it is possible, im sure the pumas work better and worth a try just practice in a safe area first good luck
