Lightened Flywheel ???

Double declutching should not be confused with heeling and toeing - they are very different. One is appropriate for smooth safe downchanges, the other more approriate for non-syncro gearboxes.

Combining the two gives my age away I suppose John

Knowing about both gives mine away...

How the new car?

Car's great but not had much of a chance to drive it yet with the weather we've had. Why didn't you order it with lower final drive and c/r box?

LOOOOOL... I'm 35 and I do both ever since I learned it at the age of 14

Unfortunately I've been doing it for more than twice as long

TVRs offer the easiest and most natural heel and toeing of any road car I've ever driven. That includes my Lotus Elise. If you can't do it in a TVR, you can't do it at all. I should add that I'm talking about the later cars with alloy race style pedals. Tamora onwards? I, sadly, have never driven a Cerbera or anything earlier than that so can't comment on those.

The real skill is in getting the revs right

Been trying to Heel and Toe in my Cerb. Finding pretty impossible with my gangly legs and knees splayed apart. Would either have to break my leg and reset it at an odd angle, or raise the brake pedal above the accelerator.

Hats off to anyone who has mastered it

both the brake and clutch pedals are adjustable ..

[Daston]

I need to adjust my peddles my break peddle dosnt seem to go in enough for me to reach the throttle. Used to be able to heel n toe the supra quite well (as the turbos needed revs to spool)

[T450t]

Surely the heel and toe is more of a roll of the ball of the foot in modern pedal positions.

To heel and toe in a TVR set up I would need to be double jointed.

Sounds good i suppose.

Never mind all the chat about disco foot moves what about the affect of lightweight flywheel? Anyone got any experience of whether there is noticeable difference for 'normal' road use? More free revving? Lumpy tick over? More prone to stalling? Stressful motorway cruising? Etc.

[twinreal]

Driving a lightended flywheel for a few years now.
With a correct idle of min 800-900 there is no problem to drive it in traffic.
On the pro side it revs up much better from idle.
Apart from this i couldn‘t feel a difference to original flywheel.

Got super lights in both of mine. It’s like the video game is on difficult, getting it right at low speeds is rewarding, 1st and 2nd are fun and yes you will notice the difference. With the super lights you will need the smaller clutch and to modify the release bearing throw/travel. I don’t have transmission springs in the plates either so inertia as low as I can get it. I did this to speed up the shifting as the standard twin plates are heavy and carry a lot of interia that give the synchros a bit more work to do.

The lightweights are a good mod and don’t need the engineering etc. I know someone who has one, he rates it. Idles OK etc.
