Perfect heel-toe pedals! Where can I get 'em?

No ones mentioned left foot braking yet ... now thats tricky !

... i should probably heel toe down shifts as Its quite easy to lock the rear wheels in my car when braking hard (probably due to the over braked rear end on the GSL-SE type setup) but I've got big feet so I concentrate on changing down smoothly and letting off the brake a little when I engage the clutch ... then again I don't race my car so out and out on the limit driving is not usually a top priority

Okay okay uncle uncle.... I give up...... I promise that I'll try not to double clutch when I heal-toe. But just as hard as it is to learn to double-clutch it's just as hard to un-learn, it's like second nature to me and it just doesn't feel right when I don't do it. It was something I learned outa neccessity when my Cosmo's synchros died. I've had many many cars since then and I've double-clutched every single one of 'em. My transmissions say "ouch" to me when I don't. Oh well... I'll shut-up now....

By all means keep double clutching... your gearbox will love you for it. And when done properly it's almost as fast as a normal heel and toe anyway.
