can this be mastered in an 03 turbo with stock pedals, or do you need an aftermarket set. also can the stock pedals be adjusted to make this an easier technique??? any input or advice on aftermarket pedal sets and their installation and orientation for heel toeing would be appreciated.
thanks in advance,
mike

Some people need them, others don't. I have a narrow foot and couldn't heel/toe the stock pedals. With a Rennline pedal extension, I am able to do it just fine. One caution. Before I got use to it, sometimes I would find myself in a heavy braking zone feeling as if my brakes where not biting fully. What I discovered was I was still leaning on the gas pedal because I hadn't gotten the technique down pat. Once I realized what I was doing, I adjusted and don't have that problem anymore. I was told by my tech that the 996TT doesn't have pedal adjustments like some older Porsches.

Can heel toe just fine with the stock pedals. I guess pedals like the rennline one would make it a lot easier though, especially if you're new at it.

I used "ultimate pedals" and was very happy. You pick the pattern...I happened to cut my own design and send it to him.... (paper)


Credit where credit is due. I just did my best to copy Tom Kerr.

Yes, get pedals...for me, I need pedals closer as I do more of a toe-toe to blip

i have no problem with heel/toe with the stock pedals, but i do have size 12 shoes. It's important to have proper position of your foot on the brake pedal (use the ball of you fool and if needed, the placement of your foot should be a little towards the accelerator side of the pedal.)
