G25 Brake customization for praticing Heel Toe

Default config of G25 isn't compatible with Heel Toe.
Here is my brake pedal addon to be more confortable.

I thought it'd be easier if the gas pedal was the same height as the brake pedal, if not more.

You can't reach the gas pedal if it's higher by twisting your ankle.

Take a look at a real car. You will see by yourself that the brake pedal is higher than the others.

@wiederhe

I guess so, But the only way you can really do heel toe is on a track or on a game. I can't seem to do it randomly driving.

[wiederhe]

I couldn't agree more.

The Logitech G25 wheel/ Pedal rig isn't the best tool to exercise (you can change gear without depressing the clutch; the gear stick resistance is too tiny).

The pedal rig /gearbox from Frex is more appropriate for Heel toe. I bought one and I'm waiting for the locking into position gearstick feature when the clutch isn't depressed.

I've learnt this technique with a real car (the hard way) when I was young. I wish I had a simulator at that time to practice!

hey how much you want to make me that piece and ship to eastern usa, might as well quote w/ screws included.

[wiederhe]

Hi,

I can make some pieces. Depens on how many people are interested.

@wonabe Awesome! I know how to rev-match while downshifting now, I'm picking up heel-toe but I'm waiting for the right corners to do so. What do you drive? I'm currently driving a Civic hatch :P

[wonabe]

@knduong I do it on daily driving ^_^ I downshift pretty much every time i need to go slower and if this kind of deacceleration isnt enough i start using brakes aswell. But having the situation when i need to start braking hard first, but realising that i might need to accelerate after the braking aswell i am doing heel-toe with downshift 3>2. Apparently from that i do rev-match every gear change since i threw out my auto transmission and got manual.

@bloodseedrums One should NEVER go to Wal-Mart for anything.

@insanevids Do you ever drive a real car? You will see what he means... that being said, my super-duper brake mod consists of a piece of wood with some rubber I found on the side of the road by my work fastened in place by no less than eight heavy duty rubber bands. That being said, I think this dude has a better idea as my setup takes periodic "calibration". Nice video though. Fyi, I have read about folks stacking the black spacer from the clutch on the brake to have the same effect.

Extremly long explanation of a very small part!

[insanevids]

ahahah omg, i use the g25 stock pedals and i do the heel toe perfectly, no mods needed my friend. Just takes practice, a good driving position and skill :)

[warofsamurai]

@wiederhe in a real car al the pedals need to be on the same line or only the clutch can be a little bit more down

[Andrei917]

Oh very good one! Thanks.

@knduong It might be kinda hard to do in some daily cars, but you can adjsut the pedals in those too. Having a wider throttle pedal might do the trick

[bloodseedrums]

couldnt you just go to walmart and get some pedal plates for real cars
