Default Good pedals for auto-x?

http://www.nopionline.com/index.cfm?...rmula&vaffid=0 Take a look at those, are they ricey or do you think they might promote better heal toe action? With my feet as big as they are compared to the small *** pedals in the accord there is no way I can get heal toe going on right now. Maybe I should just learn to left foot brake...

well, basically, it's all a matter of learning with the pedals you have...yes those might create a slightly closer arangement of pedals, but there will be no difference in actual performance....you have to learn with what you have and let your feet get used to that...

I just use one pedal-cover over the gas. There's a little lip that juts out more to the left...that's all I found I needed to make sure I can hit it during max-break-downshift-corner-gas. All other pedals are uneeded I feel.

Anything more...and it's just dead weight...

Just get a cheapo set from the local autostoned or pep boys and put on the gas pedal

I don't have any problem doing a "heel-toe" but i also don't actually heel-toe. I do a left part of foot on brake and roll my ankle so the right part of my foot goes onto the gas. Idunno, maybe that will help you too.

If anything go with the MUGEN, besides looking good they have better grip on the brake and clutch.

stay stock and bend your gas pedal to the left slightly..................
remember that it is a FWD 4 cylinder, heel toe is not that critical
also heel toe with a set of race pads is different from street pads

I see you've learned the infamous "ankle-roll"?

haha actually I have been doing that lately in my accord and it works pretty well. My work shoes are wide enough to do it pretty well where as my casual shoes actually dont work to well.
