Turnfast.com has a lot of great articles. I recommend them all.
The original pedal configuration on my Unique was not very conducive to the heel/toe technique.
So I went down to a local Auto parts store and bought a set of bolt on pedals for $14.95. You know the type that just slip over and bolt to the existing gas/brake/clutch pedals. I used just the gas pedal only. Didn't use the mounting hardware. Drilled a couple of holes through the new gas pedal cover and the old gas pedal at the top curve of the old gas pedal and the pop riveted the new gas pedal cover in place. The gas pedal is now wider and longer. Works Great!
I threw away the brake and clutch pedal covers. Tried them for a moment but they are too wide. I couldn't depress the clutch very well without clipping the brake pedal.
After this modification, I can simply roll my foot over to blip the gas when braking downshifts!
