Pedal extensions

[g-zone]

Anyone use these for making H&T easier. What do you use and where did you get it from? Do the mugen pedals do this job or am I looking for something different?

I have size 8 feet and don't have a problem with H&T on stock pedals.

So do you toe the brake and heel the throttle - i tried this and my whole foot cramped up :shock: :lol:

 

[truffs]

i have size 12 feet and can heal and toe, the only vehicle that i have been able to do it on, pus i can now left foot brake, very handy :lol:

************warning************

to practise left foot braking may i suggest an unused / private etc etc road, i learnt it on the breacon beacons and almost out my self through the window on numerous occasions :lol:

 

[dan the man]

practice is all it takes.

Yeah, but my little size 7s end up at about 45 degrees across the pedals, which is really uncomfortable and ends up in the cramp that Wootty knows about.

There must be an easier way. When you blip the throttle, how much of a blip are we talking about here? A couple of hundred rpm? 500?

 

[Wootty]

I always thought you should blip the throttle up to near the revs of the gear you are changing down from so that there is not a big lurch from the engine as it gets back driven through the gearbox by the inertia of the car.

So its quite a big blip you need and my little size 7's cant bend that far backwards :shock:

It think it also keeps the gearbox syncro's spinning making it easier to change gear - which was an issue on older cars though not so sure on these modern gearboxes if its so neccessary??? Some experts out there wil know for sure :idea:


Last time i tried left foot braking i misstook the clutch for the brake and nearly hit the curb :lol: - on the wrong side of the road :shock:
