Get little shoes.  :-)  Wrestling shoes on sale work great $20-$40
usually if you look hard enough. IMHO I think left foot braking is the
way to go. I started it from day one when I started autocrossing and
I think it is a big advantage. Good luck to you.  :-)

  I have wanted to try out the whole left foot braking concept, but my large
size, coupled with the small footwell in my civic has not been condusive to
this.  I am going to be spacing my steering wheel out, which should allow me
to move the seat back and get my knees out of the dash, and that will help.  I
had a thought on relocating my seat though.  Would there be any advantage to
mounting the seat at a slight angle, where I am aiming toward the center of
the car slightly.  It seems to me that this would do a better job at aiming
each foot at it's appropriate pedal, like a go kart.  It would make clutching
a bit more difficult, but that is rare compared to braking.  For reference, my
setup is:

  89 Civic
  Kirkey Seat on I/O port Brackets
  Momo 330mm steering wheel spaced out as far as need be.

  Any thoughts?  Am I just weird?
