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 How the new car?

Combining the two gives my age away I suppose John 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.

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

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.
