double clutching

Wow…not even going to comment on the last two.

…or you could just drive my car, with the out of adjustment clutch, with the friction point at the TOP of the pedal :giggle:

Double clutch is completely unnecessary on the upshift, which means useless for drag racing. It is for DOWNSHIFTING ONLY, and it can still have some benefit even with a syncromesh tranny, especially if you need to go down 2 gears quickly. For daily driving, there is no benefit, but that depends on what you mean by “daily driving” :smiley:

What? Just because you don’t know how to do it doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. Actually, it’d be easier on your car BECAUSE your clutch engagement point is at the top of the pedal travel.

I live my life a quarter mile at a time…

go back to watching your tokyo drift movies son

Who ever said I didn’t know how to double clutch? Besides, I was rolling my eyes at the comment about not using the clutch in everyday driving. That person got it switched around. Umm, I shift at 3 and it drops between 500 and 1000 on the shift, and it works out fine for me. In fact sometimes it’s so smooth you can’t feel that I shifted at all.

I think he meant that you need to slip the clutch more and not just drop it and bog.

Noobs and their fucked up vocabulary :down:

It’s so easy to screw up with my clutch though, if you aren’t very familiar with the friction point you will give it too much gas on the let out and it will slip…

BacardiBreezer, I made no comment about your ability to double-clutch. I DID make a comment in response to your attack on “no lift to shift”. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, look it up.

Brakes are cheaper than a transmission and easier to change.

heh. “tapping on the clutch while in gear to raise the rpms”. or just downshift if you need to be in your powerband. :gay:

“tapping on the clutch while in gear to raise the rpms”

??? I think you’ve lost me on this one.

somewhere in there…

Ahh…I see now. That makes no sense, whatsoever.

maybe thats what twst is talkign about.

It sounds like he is full of shit and doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

If you press in the clutch, yeah, the RPMs drop, because you are disconnecting the transmission from the engine. I don’t see how it’d make them rise though.

RPM’s rise if you keep the throttle on and engage the clutch.

he means you gas it while you tap the clutch, so the rpms rise then re-engage there. i guess you would do this if you were bogging at a low rpm in a high gear (5th gear at 25mph), in which case you should just downshift. in the case of racing, that’s just a loss of acceleration and time.

genius eh? i think i remember a friend told me this and i still didn’t understand. i think it was a way to make the tires chirp, thus making it sound like you were faster…

So does the $4.00 fart cannon, but it doesn’t mean it should be done. :slight_smile:

i’m gonna rerace that dude this weekend and i was wondering about the psi i should run in my tires? any hints, i plan on playing with it a little before to see what works best but i thought i would ask first.

this is a pic of my 92 rs, if it works
