I bought a car that has twin disc and it feels like I'm learning to drive a manual all over again. I hate having to be at a complete stop, feels like I'm riding my clutch so much just to get it moving in 1st gear (also reverse). I am now one of those annoying guys that seems to always rev up my engine for no reason lol. Thanks for the tips and making this video!

I'm in the process of buy a Nissan S15 with orc twin plate clutch and not sure what to expect as I never drove a twin plate clutch yet, this was the most informative video I could find and it was cool to see local roads as well. Thanks for sharing

Awesome video man, I have been on mine tilton since 2013 and love it. I needed it for the power level I am on. I was a pain at first. But after a few weeks it's all good. I forget get how stock clutches feel when I drive other sticks. They feel weird to me. Anyways cool video man.

I got not even, 10,000 Ks from my twin plate ceramic of nightmare daily driving before it ruined my push bearings, drive shaft, diff and my left leg muscles. But it was so much fun and still worth it. Great vid 👍

Ahhh I miss my home province. I love seeing The Beer Store trailers. Sick ass MR-2 as well!

Good technical hints heel on the Floor,thanks 😊.

Ended up with what must be an agressive ceramic twin disc spec supertwin in my C4 Corvette when I swapped it from auto to 6 speed. It was included in a bunch of swap parts I purchased from a partout. No info was given about the clutch. I figured it would be fairly aggressive, but it truly is like learning to drive stick again. This setup has no mercy. It is almost like an on/off switch. I have gotten used to it though. Now when I get in anything else with a stick, it feels extremely odd. Launching at the track on street tires was also a bit of a learning curve.

This was helpful, thanks! My Toyota Aristo has a twin plate rated to 850ft lb. I'll try riding it a bit more to get going.

This is exactly what i was looking for. A person that might be just as crazy as me with the parts choice. I am currently looking for flywheel and clutch options for my next daily driven car. And its kind of hard to find what i want because im putting an audi v8 in front of a bmw transmission. So no of the shelf clutch and pressureplate options are available. Actually no affordable flywheel options either. But the main issues i was thinking of where is it going to be impossible to drive in stop and go traffic, but it dosnt seem to be worse then my ceramic 4 puck in my current car. Its all about good clutch control and then it should be fine right? But the other issue i was thinking about is noise. Cant really tell to well from the video. But how bad is the noise? My current clutch is the unsprung 4puck wich sometimes makes so much noise, its sounding like the gearbox is actually falling apart. And then you push the clutch pedal and its all silent. And with the twinplates some people say they are worse, some say they are not. But you seem to be 1 of the only guys driving it on the street, so you might be the best source for this information.

his car is on the verge of stalling... "this car is fine for the streets"

I’m the same when the cops come out lol. I roll down my tinted windows and hope they aren’t dicks about the loud exhaust or revs and cheeps they may have heard previously. I’m currently looking into twin disc coming off a mcloud street extreme single disc that I currently have. Im looking into a twin disc because I want to supercharge my 2011 mustang. But it’s completely a street car that I may want to take a few passes down the track with. The traffic and local driving has me anxious, am I making a mistake? I don’t want my driving experience to be limited, I want to drive spirited and for it to last. I’m not sure that exists. It’s been suggested that I throw a stock clutch in it but I don't want RPM lock out either. Granted I am still limited to my stock engine and MT82 trans, I want the clutch to handle whatever I throw at it. I was looking into the mcloud rst at first then decided to entertain the exedy hyper twin. Maybe I should just get the same Mcloud single disc street clutch I had rate to 700hp?

Hello there, I drive a twin plate clutch on a daily basis, the only problem I’m facing is when moving uphill from a stop/heavy traffic on a slope and my car will shakes a lot, have you encounter this type of situation? My clutch is unsprung type. Btw nice ride you got there. Cheers

Is it heavy, or just on/off switch grabby? I never cared for a heavy clutch

I didn't hear a single "aboot" or "eh", nor did I see a moose. I call shenanigans on this being a Canadian video. I'm not surprised the clutch is reasonably drivable. Conventional wisdom is so often wrong that I rarely give it any credence.

Would this same concept apply to daily driving a 6 puck sprung clutch with a lightweight flywheel?

which tilton is this? the 5.5? the 7.25??

It's been a while, but just wondering how many miles you got on the clutch and if you've removed it...what condition were the pilot bearing and throwout bearing in? The combined extra clearance between the extra parts of that type of disc makes me wonder how hard they are on the two bearings. Thanks for any information 👍

How long/how many miles did the clutch last you??

Do you have a hydraulic release bearing? Want to put the Tilton kit on my STI, not sure about streetability.

How do you if you need to park on an incline? On reverse. It’s bad to press on the clutch while driving right?

what clutchplate? rigid or spring, organic or cerametallic or full sinter plate

The GWB during rush hour traffic 😑..pretty much a Humongous parking lot.

I don't think that the race clutch is that difficult to use in traffic once you are used to. And it certainly helps quick changes which is what you hope for when you drive a heavily boosted car with a turbo lag. Actually, I don't think that turbo lag is that bad as you wanted to describe in your earlier video. The engine is running smoothly and I get the impression that in a trackday it would be awesome. The only thing that i didn't like in your car is the ride that looks really stiff and bumps and shakes...If you can afford it you should consider installing air suspension. (Greetings from a MR2 W30 owner) EDIT - I haven't watched the video 5 Things I HATE About My TOYOTA MR2 TURBO, I am going to do it now)

I just got an OS Giken TS2BD installed and it’s ridiculous. So hard to take off without stalling or revving too much.

Nice BOV sound, which one is it?

What are the actual clutch specs 7.25?

Do you daily this clutch?

How much gear lash do you hear when on low throttle and when you let off the throttle on deceleration? Not necessarily low rpms, maybe 3 to 4k

I'm thinking of buying a Tilton clutch. Does it make a ringing sound when clutched in? I'm on an ATS carbon twin plate and it makes a really loud ringing sound when I'm clutched in (it sounds amazing).

this is a sintered iron disc?

Its not bad at all just had to get used to it but its better than my OS Giken twin in my E36

I always hear my clutch disk slamming whenever I upshift in low to medium rpm. any suggestions?

Everyone that hears "Race Clutch" automatically assume its gunna be harsh and stiff pedal feel. Most Twin Disc clutch are slightly heavier than stock, Bite and friction point is close to stock. You wont even notice the difference if you didnt know

Hella weird comment but what stereo head unit is that???

Make one on a steep incline

Good way to break those clutches in is stop and go traffic

Now show us how well you are able start from a stop on a steep hill. I already know its not possible. You will have to spin them or stall.

This gives me so much anxiety 😅

is your idle going up and down due to bigger cams?

Oh fuck it, if you can do it in a high horse power car so can I in my vw bug. I'll stall a 13 lb flywheel and a unsprung clutch in a few days just because I can

If you're working out your left leg, might as well delete powersteering then, huh.. :D

Long story short for all you noobs. Unless your making north of 600hp you're wasting your time effort & money with twin plate its serving you no purpose with anything less then 600hp

Downtown Toronto Torture!

What does race clutch do ? Anything heavy or what?
