Chirping 2nd in an A/T!

BoostedTSi · May 11, 2003

I was really suprised the first time I chirped 2nd gear in my stock 2g auto tranny. Its FWD of course. I've done it several times. I was just wondering if anyone else can do this? I'm running 32 psi in my front tires and my tires have about 80% tred left on them. I think this shows how strong the DSM A/T really is. Not many people can say they chirp 2nd in an auto. lol

I can't imagine how it will shift with a Shift kit.

yeah, I can do it at will. It doesnt take much effort anymore to chirp the tires on the shift. Even when I was stock I could do it every once in a while. But yeah its pretty cool, people always have a puzzled look on their face when I do it in my auto.

i could chirp second in my old accord v6, 1998 SEDAN!. if it was raining, i could spin all gears.

loreak · May 16, 2003

some of those old cars shift hard as shit, my friends 92 accord nearly breaks your back when it shifts

dsmturbo44 · May 20, 2003

My 91 Talon FWD automatic, spins tire all through third, When it was stock it would still chirp second, now with all my mods, I can spin tire into 3rd gear, lol

I wouldnt get all too excited guys who post about chirping in 2nd

One one side it may state that you have enough HP to make this happen, which it sounds like the boat you are all on.

But on the other side, it can simply mean you have cheap ass tires.

When I had my AWD talon, it would launch at 5500 rpms like a rocket. I then got pritty broke and had to purchase cheaper tires. When I would launch with the cheap tires, I would also chirp. Sure doesnt mean I have more power LOL

dsmturbo44 · May 20, 2003

Sorry to inform you, that Im not bragging about spinning tire in fact I hate the fact that I spin so much, and Im running on Kumho Ecsta 712's and they def. arent cheap ass tires. I doubt your AWD can chirp second, unless your running on donuts, LOL

its possible to spin 2nd on some BALD ass tires with plenty of power, what kinda mods u have to grab 2nd?

"Im running on Kumho Ecsta 712's and they def. arent cheap ass tires."

lol

Yeah those are one of the most expensive tires on the market

Smokehouse_83 · May 22, 2003

I can spin into second gear not just chirp with my all wheel drive, I have a small 16g and it spools so fast I can spin into second and chirp third of course I have also broke 2 rear ends and just recently destroyed a tranny and my spool doesnt help either. And I am not running shitty as all season tires I am running dunlop w-10's which arent even mud & snow rated.

i never spin, i dont drop the clutch tho because id spin through first like theres no tommorrow, 2nd once in a while ill spin not usually, ive got decent tires tho.

dsmturbo44 · May 22, 2003

I didnt say they were expensive, I just said they are good tires, and Kumhos are like the best tire for the $$ you can get, for performance, and they arent snow or mud rated either, LOL. Sure your tires are spinning, and its not just your clutch slipping
