Run 1st up near 6K rpm and if you shift fast enough, it'll chirp.

 

I think is is more tough for MY02+ to chirp, our clutch is a bit more loose. Either that or I am a slow poke

 

I can recall a kid in an SE-R who was revving on me at a stoplight. Having owned two of them back in the early 90's (a '91 and '93) I know what they are capable of so I enjoyed his enthusiasm for his automobile but was getting slightly annoyed. When the light turned green, he revved high and took off with a very nice bark on the 2 shift. It sounded really neat and I'm sure he was proud of himself but by the time I nailed the 4 shift, he was so far behind me it would have taken "Q" to locate him.
Had I barked the tires (I didn't), I wouldn't have heard 'em anyways because at 9,000 rpm's with a Tanabe, all you hear is the orchestra of the F20C. I prefer moving forward with efficiency which is why I'm not upset when I fail to lose traction, err, I mean bark the tires.

[B]Well, I can appreciate the traction the car provides, but every so often, you've just got to let it all hang out.

Two reasons you can't chirp are the overly high final drive ratio and the wimpiest clutch ever put in a sports car.

 

if you are chirping third..you must drive on the crappiest roads in the world.

My car COULD chirp 2nd and w/ the right conditions, even third.

 

Wow.... I thought I drove mine hard. You people are animals. But chirping tires does not even come close to blasting under an overpass at 9000 rpms with the top down... Now that sounds sweet!

 

I'm shifting as fast as i can do and i have a stage 3 clutch (starclutch) but can't chirp in second !!

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM ?

1- My engine is the weakest of the s2k engine ?
2- I have a lightweight flywheel, is this the reason ? I remember when i bought the car ( 8000 miles on it ) i was chirping in sec. with the normal flywheel, but the temperature was much colder !!! ( Just above freezing point )
3-My tires was like slick tho weeks ago so i tought it has something to do with it and then i had them changed for new
s-02 but it still not chirp !!
4-My car does grab the ground better than yours !!
5- I'm not a good driver so i don't deserve this car !!!

 

It must be something different about the way you Americans approach your driving but there seems to be a bit of an obession with activities such as "chirping" and "donuts".

I dont see much mention of such activities either on our forum or in discussions with other Aussie drivers.

Personally I would rather maintain full traction and use this traction to travel forwards, preferably quickly, and not behind other drivers.

And I also would rather not waste my expensive clutch and tires on such futile activities.
