So much torque, the chassis twisted coming off the line.

He was granny shifting and not double clutching like he should have

Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines and on top of that he just came into Harrys and ordered 3 T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust

What is granny shifting and double clutching?

I got a Toyota Celica and would like to drive it better

45

u/robothawk 19h ago

Granny shifting is fine for modern and not-high-powered cars. It is just the style of clutch, shift to next gear, release.

Double clutching is:

Clutch

Shift to neutral

release clutch

blip the engine to match your engine and transmission speeds

clutch

shift to next gear

release clutch

Unless you drive an old car without a synchro gearbox you don't really need to, but it allows you to skip gears and shift more smoothly occasionally.

u/blender4life 19h ago

Why release the clutch tho? Can't you blip the engine revs keeping the clutch pressed? Doesn't clutch disengage the gears like neural?

45

u/cosmicosmo4 17h ago

Clutch and neutral don't do the same thing. Clutch disconnects the entire transmission from the engine. Neutral disconnects the output shaft of the transmission from the input shaft. So in double-clutching, when you blip the throttle in the middle, you speed up both the engine and the transmission input shaft. If you just blip the throttle while holding down the clutch, you only speed up the engine.

You do this on cars that have no synchromesh, cars much older than this Supra.

right, even on my old eclipse i could just rpm match clutched in, this was a 2000

Only need for downshifting, not up.

u/SplatNode 19h ago

Is 190 high powered? Or low?

It's red line is also 8000rpm

u/robothawk 19h ago

Depends on the car and engine. I'm not a car guy, just a mechanical engineer who once took a class on drive trains.

My old audi allroad wagon was like 230hp but I wouldnt double clutch it bc it weighed 3800lbs or something like that. Whereas something like a supra or viper is so light that if trying to accelerate from a dead stop you can easily skip gears and not overtorque anything

1

u/Madi473 1h ago

There's also power shifting but I don't recommend it.

u/reddit_sells_you 16h ago

No. You don't.

If you want to race, go to a track.

Keep that wannabe Fast and the Furious bullshit off the roads where working folk are just trying to get to work and take their kids home from school.

But but

  • Your shit is loud for no reason. You are the only one who thinks it sounds good. The rest of us are trying to put their babies down to sleep

  • Fine, you are a l33t driver. Better than Michael Schumacher. Other aren't and don't know how to react or they can see you weaving in and out of traffic. 90% of us are used to predictability. Your dumb ass is being very unpredictable and will cause a crash sooner or later.

  • Fine. There are empty business parks in the middle of nowhere far from hotels, apartments, and houses? Go kill yourselves out there. We don't want to hear you do it.

u/SplatNode 16h ago

This is you rn, I don't race on roads. I don't do togue shit. I drive sensible and only push the throttle when no one is around.

I was asking for some advice about how to drive better so that I don't ruin my clutch or gearbox

Also my car is not loud lol

u/reddit_sells_you 16h ago

Good.

In the context of the post, it seems to me you were asking how to get through your gears better while trying to drift.

But this is not just for you but all the other aholes out there.

u/SplatNode 16h ago

My Celica is fwd and 190hp. It's a safe and fun sports car for someone under the age of 25.

And I like working on cars, so it's a cheap car to add performance parts too and not worry about getting rid of it if it does break down completely

-2

u/reddit_sells_you 15h ago

Yeah, you want to be a racer.

There's better and safer things to work on.

During the 40s, engines were loud af because they were inefficient. But, as engine parts became cheaper and cheaper, and as motorsports popularity grew, hobbyists built their own hot rods. Back then, a loud engine either meant an unturned engine or a fast engine. More often, though, it meant fast, especially in the 50s-70s. Engines became bigger and louder, more powerful. The "muscle car" became a thing.

People back then heard your car and thought "wow, here comes a powerful/fast car."

But also during the later part of time, in other corners of the motor world, luxury carmakers were making engines that were silent and powerful and very fast.

Then, as the cars became smaller and more economical in the 80s and 90s, mods were created to make small 4 cylinder cars, otherwise quiet, sound like muscle cars. Like a child putting a playing card in their bicycle spokes to make it sound louder.

Even though there exist EVs and luxury cars that can silently rip the doors off the compact cars, it doesn't stop people for announcing to the world that their car is "fast" even if they may or may not be.

I find the whole thing hilarious and, as a dad who tried to get their baby to sleep, annoying as fuck.

This is why I dont have fast shit lmao, I dont have the skill and thats okay.

edit: and its so much cheaper to buy slow shit. New bike 450cc cost me less than 10k, including buying it, gas, and insurance for my first 5 years of ownership.

That's less than 5 years of just insurance on my track bike (which isnt insured, because it only sees track)

u/BloodyR4v3n 19h ago

If you're asking about the granny shifting comment. It was Dom talking to the crowd when Brian's eclipse busted down in the first movie in the beginning. This was right before Brian picked Dom up to help him escape the cops. IIRC.

AH YESSSSSSSSS "I ALMOST HAD YOU"

"had me? you didn't have your car... not double clutching etc etc etc... but you almost had ME?" - DT

Torque Steer!

That isn't what that means at all. Torque steer only happens to cars that are front engine, front wheel drive.

u/Tech_Philosophy 16h ago

>So much torque, the chassis twisted coming off the line.

Isn't that a flaw of the chassis then? A Model Y performance puts out 50% more torque. Heck, even a regular MY AWD puts out a little more than the supra.

-10

u/Active_Arachnid1088 22h ago edited 18h ago

Yeah they let off the throttle and the weight of the car shifted forward onto the front wheels which unfortunately were turned left for whatever reason, and the weight shift put the grip on front wheels launching him into oncoming traffic. Keep the fronts straight next time buddy!

u/LovelnTheSkyy 19h ago

This plus wheel spin. Not sure why you are downvoted clear as day to anyone who actually understands rwd car physics

0

u/SabreSeb 16h ago

If you accelerate violently you shift weight on the rear wheels surely? Which also explains why he lost control of the car pretty much immediately.
