I have a crappy a** aftermarket clutch, that I will switching out for an ACT in the next week, and I can bearly chirp 2nd and If I really try I CAN'T even do it everytime and when I do it get it, its not loud...My buddy has a 95 with 100K on an original clutch and he can bark 2nd like a mother any and every time he wants...is it just my clutch or no ?? my 17"s ?? I had him drive it and he couldnt chirp mine at all..
please help

i'm gonna say it's your clutch. i have a act on my 96 5 spd. with *very heavy* 18" chrome rims i can bark 2nd loud and chirp into 3rd. when i put my light 15's on forget it, i can spin second and hit 3rd and probably 4th - haven't tried too hard yet.

act all the way baby

 

I've got an engine-wise stock 98 SE 5spd that would chirp 2nd easy with cheesy tires. It really depends on the rubber. On my new rubber, BFG G-force KDW's, even 1st requires a healthy dump....

Not chirping 2nd is not an indicator of a slipping clutch...

I would say it's your clutch. I have chirped third probably only about 5 times in the 2 1/2 years I've owned my Max. I have always been able to chirp second every time I tried until lately. My clutch doesn't really slip, it just doesn't GRAB like it used too. My clutch is stock, but not for long. Hellooooooo ACT.

 

I have the stock Potenza RE92's on

I really dont have a slipping problem...well alittle but my problem feels like the clutch skipps...like if I quick shift not going fast it skipps, and then grabs. I drove my buddys 95 with the stock clutch home from E-town and his car felt more solid and all around better. I dont know, I can explain it

but If I have people in the car, you have to hit it perfectly not to get slip into 2nd and even 3rd

 

Okay... I have a basically stock 97... It does have some cheese tires on the front, but I can nearly roach second, and probably chirp third if I want... 77,000 Miles.

 

I can chirp 2nd in my Auto ,,,,,,,,,(TORQUE IS GOOD)

 

2nd is cake to chirp, cake! I havent been able to chirp third tho, i need some mods first i think, performance wise. Stock clucth with 29k on the tach.

 

All you need is an ACT clutch.....the rest is cake

 

ok i just started driving 5-speed and i'm tempted to ask how you guys do it but i don't wanna hurt my car. i wanna start off nice and clean so i'll just say goodbye.

 

i can chirp second with friends in the car and ac on.....I have never hit third though....

 

I use to be able to burn through first, second, and chirp third with the crappy kelly chargers on the car, but I have 17" rims with kumho supras and I rarely lose traction in second. First isn't easy to chirp unless I really try. But if you're draggin someone, you don't want that spin.

 

The only thing you can hurt chirping gears is the clutch, hence everyone saying get a better one (ACT). As to how to do it, if that has to be explained, you don't need to be doing it.

 

I can burn part way through second with slicks. But I guess an auto doesn't count. It will only chirp N/A though.

 

dude, your video in the bottom of your sig.....its funny as hell.... "HMM don't think that's my exhaust"

 

i can chirp 2nd in my auto, but it only happens at the track

 

I absolutely rip second with my cheap all season tires when I am in a hurry . Just a Y-pipe on my car at the moment.

 

Ive always been able to chirp 2nd or peel a while and have chirped 3rd a few times with the stock clutch, actually i can get it to do it at like 2000rpm if i shift fast and get on the gas fast. i can even do it in my other car which is a 3cyl LOL but in that car i got to take it to red line and can only do 2nd. so it could be the clutch or the rims why you cant barely do it

 

I get crazy wheel spin...only when it's raining. hehe

 

Ditto. Need full exhaust ... Y-pipe is apparently the key to chirping 3rd.

 

If I slowly get on the throttle in first and slam it into second, I can still easily chirp the tires on a stock clutch. STS makes it alot easier.

 

Surprise surprise I got a 96se auto chirpd it going to 2nd I guess Im an expert with my SE---->>.

 

I can chirp second in my 98 5spd. I think I also did it once in my '90 auto.(beat that )

 

I can pretty much roast my tires in second... with my stock clutch

 

I can do the 1-2 everytime if i want to, stock clutch almost 60K miles with either my 18"s or 19"s .... you need a new clutch!

 

I can chirp second most of the time with my Kuhmo's but it really depends on the road surface. Never been able to chirp third. I can barely chirp first in the gf's 95 240SX.

 

My clutch is not really slipping...its Skipping..whats that mean ??

 

im auto and i can chirp my 2nd=)
