i cant remember how i did it... it was several years ago... but i was able to adjust parts on the brake pedal to allow for a good heel toe... I think i adjusted when it started to brake, then you had to make another adjustment to make up the slack.... it was of a pain but once you have a good look it should make sense... BTW it was on a NA6.

The car makes for easy heel toes now (which helps cause i do it in day to day driving by default).

Best car for heel toes (for me)... bmw's and the accord euro... LOVE big auto style accelerator pedals.

No problems heel / toeing with my size 14's :D

Just use the side of your foot / ball of your foot...

To make it easier I moved the accelerator a couple of mm to the left and up and then played around a little until I got it in the spot I wanted it in. A little dodgy but I couldn't find anything that I was damaging. I simply used my hands, the metal is really maluable and now heal and toeing (with the side of my feet) is much easier, i now use the technique on every down change.
