Heel-Toe is easy when you got three legs. HAHA. Its a lot easier on two wheels but I think its called Hand-footing, I could be wrong. Sorry, I'll think of something more constructive and then add it to this post.

b00b is right

Lol, it wouldn't be called heel n' toe if you have three legs. So, nobody has no pics yet?? I tried it so many times and i just can't get it, a vid would be sooo nice..

if i can find away to mount my camera to film the pedals i can do a video for you. Going to need lots of tape for this...

the_butcher

video tape it ... stop talking and do it...


lol jk take your tizzime.. son!

You can try watching Initial D. I had trouble heel-toeing with the two sides of my foot. When I saw the anime and actually tried using my heel to hit the gas, it worked!

Basically (for the newbie) try depressing all three pedals at once , down shift, and hit the gas. All three pedals, shift, gas.

iam not too sure if i can completly answer you question...but i from what i know abou heel and toe is that is basically a downshift but with a lil more drama....its used for going around twisty curves and corners ...you hit the break, down shift and right when yours about to exit the corner or curve, you hit the gas....the benefit is that you slow the car around the curve or corner while you are down shifting and you will be in the right gear to accelerate when you are out of the corner/curve....basically when tking on a corner/curve heel and toe helps you to go in like a lamb and come out like a lion out of the corner.....i hope it made sense...if not then your best bet is to go on ebay and order yourself a copy of the Drift Bible.....there should be real good explanitions of it in tha video....n oh yeah bet some better pedles that helps alot...mainly get a longer gas pedel so you dont have to twist your foot too much....have fun heel and toeing.

Sorry guys, I couldn't get it to work. I tried a couple different ways but none of whcih worked. I taped LEDs to the footwells so you could see the pedals but the tape just wasn't strong enough to hold the camera in place.

lol? have someone hold it for u then~

suhhh

i drive barefoot most of the time. i just slip my shoes under/in front of the seat (depending on what i'm wearing).

try sitting...a little left on your seat and leaning a bit left so you'll stretch out your right leg to heel-toe. maybe your leg won't hit the side then.

ill try making another vid with my mini tri-pod when it warms up a little or when I install my exhaust so you can hear the revs better. Too cold to be messing around in the car now.

Yeah, I learned heel and toe barefooted on my first manual car, a pontiac lemons hatch back... what a pos car but I learned to how to drive manual, rev match and heel toe, and some basic car fixing skills since it broke down every week

anyway, I had a 89 honda prelude before this tC. I've had a lot of fun heel toeing in the prelude. I feel the pedal and seat setup in prelude is much better than tC's for "occational performance" driving. In my tC, I feel the brake pedal is closer to the clutch than to the gas . and then the level difference between the brake and gas pedal is too big. if I want to heel toe with good rev match I either have to work really hard to twist my ankle to barely able to touch the gas, or only when I am braking pretty hard.

also, tC's seating position is too high, making it not as comfortable for me to control the pedals. (not to mention the lack of head room with the high seat)

article with pics on heel toe:

and if you rent a race or car test video, there should be plenty of video on foot pedal action. at least the japanese videos do.

miraclecreator

dude, that edmund page is old news. If I found that to be useful, I wouldn't ask ppl here. Read carefully at the topic and you'll see it it's hard to heel and toe with tC, not jetta. The leg room is different and that's why i'm having a bit problem. But thanks to the many 'no help" from this forum, I have forced myself to do it and finally being able to do it now, though not smooth.

i actually got some pedals that have extenesions on gas/brake that help with heel/toe
but drivin barefoot is wut i usually do

I found the opposite to be a lot easier to do. Put your heel on the brake and use your toe to get the gas. Try it, its not too bad. Although I don't go around town rev matching every turn b/c there is no need to.

Skate shoes... I do it with Adio's and Etnies. Its natural for me.
