Default Integra gas/brake pedal mod for heel-toe

So I did my first track day yesterday it it was freakin amazing! I loved it and I'll be going back next year as much as I can. I just got This 98 Integra a few months ago and I cant get my heel toe down on this car. I think because the spacing for me is too far or isnt right or something. I can do it on my daily driver my 07 vw rabbit but not on this.

Anyone have to put pedals on their track cars or pedal mods? What do you recommend?

well... it all depends on the person i guess.

Honed has what looks like a good system with some left to right adjustability. I've never used it.

I purchased a custom set of CNCed pedal covers that i was able to move left or right while mounting. (https://www.srpracing.com/)

gas pedals are easily bendable. brakes, not so much.

This looks like a good solution!
Might have to pick me up a set.

I riveted a piece of aluminum to my pedal to make a little extension.

I had my eye on the SRP ones until the Honed ones came out. I like the height adjustability option on the Honed I haven't pulled the trigger on either. How do you like the SRP? They sure do look nice!

they look very nice... the have good grip... you want to plan out which bolt holes you are going to use on each pedal. I only used two per pedal... it gave me the most flexibility on mounting location... also add grip tape (old skateboard stuff) to the gas pedal... that is not included.

I'd like to get a set of the Honed and try them out.

hot take - i literally stopped heel/toeing except for the very rare occasion it just kinda happens out of muscle memory. i personally see no actual need in fwd. i also run and FD that makes for less shifts per lap than others on the tracks we run.

im faster without it, i found speed by focusing more on braking and making sure i basically hold the downshift until im almost off the brakes.

either way, my car has some old school sparco bolt on covers that i could live without. best change i made was adding $5 skateboard grip tape.

I was looking at their "dimple die" option specifically for the reason that grip tape is my preferred method of adding traction. I can barely heel-toe the stock pedals in any sneakers that aren't driving shoes - go figure. Good tip on being strategic with the bolts.

There's a roll of it living under my workbench for precisely this. It does wear out pretty fast and I need to reapply like, now.

OMP pedals with cardboard duct taped to the brake pedal to increase thickness
