learned today that the brake pedal height is adjustable. Makes heel-toe even easier.

was I out of the loop on this?

really how? I can heel-toe pretty well withthe way it is now but it would be nice to adjust it...

apparently there is an adjustment bolt on the shaft the pedal is attached to.

I have grown comfortable heel-toeing as well, but it would be nice to try I guess.

Hey I hear alot about this heel toe stuff.Pardon my ignorance but
what exactly does this do?and what are the basics of doing it.I have
tried it once or twice but I don't really know the hows and whys.

i believe the point of heal toe braking is to keep the engine reved while you're braking ( in a corner) then when you want to acclerate , the engine will be at a higher rpm, to exit the turn faster

you brake with your toe while keeping the gas down with your heal

How about another stupid question?I might have been watching to many
movies,but whats double cluthing?

www.turnfast.org I think has a great article on heel toe. it's some variation of turnfast

I never new about adjusting the pedal, I will have to try it. I heel-toe all the time. The advantage is that you can downshift smoothly while braking going into a turn. Then when exiting starting to exit the turn you can just exit smoother on the gas with more speed.
