???Does your s2k chirp 3rd???

New here, new s2000 owner...
I'm now a few months into owning a 2002 Berlina black on black s2k.
5000 miles on all OEM rebuilt motor.

Mods-
-AEM long arm intake
-Mugen header
-Test pipe w/ 02
-Full ARK exhaust (4.5 inch tips)
= Chirps 3rd with the AC running lol

Wondering how much the add ons have helped this car vs all stock.
Thanks in advance for any input!

 

Is your alignment oem? Mine has a k&n intake, skunk2 catback and berk hfc and ill spin a good bit in second but nothing when coming into third. I'm running all seasons with with a lot of tread left so I'm not on great tires but unless you're tuned your s2k with w proper alignment and summer tires shouldn't Chirp 3rd. Nothing wrong with chirping the tires but without a tune your mods shouldn't have added more than maybe 10 hp and that's only cuz ap1's run pretty lean from what I understand.

 

Alignment? The car drives straight down the road, no issue there...kinda confused on the question. It is lowered on springs a tad. It doesn't get crazy going into second either, just a chirp at 9k shifts. Does however chirp 3rd anytime I want to risk a ticket lol maybe header and motor being brand new? Thought it was a good topic anyway

 

I have a feeling you're on all season tires

 

Chirp? What's chirp? Does this refer to spinning the rear tires chirp? I've never been able to do this and I've tried. But I've got good tires.

Bald tires seem to be a requirement. Or maybe the original OEM tires which have gotta be as hard as asphalt by now.

Mine definitely does not chirp 3rd gear nor is it supposed to.

 

I've chirped 3rd before...in my 96 integra when I was 17. Ah those were the days.

 

lmao my friends s2000 "chirped 3rd gear" when we raced our s2000's while he chirped away... I pulled away. but this is ap1 vs ap2. also

 

I'm seeing a "busted my diff---whats my best option" thread coming soon.......
