proper shifting

[sciullo779]

i must have issues or something because i cant seem to chirp my ls in second but my friend can

when im starting i drop the clutch by literally lifting my whole leg because im used to street driving so much, and i get ez wheel spin, i pop the clutch in as i let completely off the gas while shifting into 2nd and i let the clutch out as i get back on the gas..... no chirp..... wtf

something must be wrong, i can spin my fronts all the way to redline in 1st and 2nd

tires play a big role in this ... shitty all season tires chirp alot trying to find traction ... (chirping isnt always a good thing lol)

my eg chirps in 3rd like nothing haha u suck hahaha j/k

 

[Spody02]

you have better traction then him.... OH NO!!!

you wanna spin those wheels it makes you way faster, i bet if you put a few huge stickers on there you can spin all the way thru 5th

Very true.

I'm running Azeni RT-615's

What kind of tires and size are you running? and is it a possibility that your clutch is going out?

 

[TegyDriverYaDig]

i dont think chirping is a good thing..but if it makes you cool...

try dumping the clutch and given it more gas

Actually, if you're shifting properly, you shouldn't spin the tires at all.

 

[imcnblu]

true.

an old muscle car saying:

"If you're spinning, you ain't winning"

 

[CONEV8R]

Exactly. If you're spinning your tires, you're just wasting power and tires. Effectively throwing away money. Unfortunately, even with a limited slip diff, an AWD car will always get the hole-shot on you, unless you've got a 50% better power-to-weight ratio. e.g. stock WRX vs. Corvette ZR1...so, in order to really have a shot at catching up, you're going to need to get all of your power down, as quickly as possible, and spinning/chirping your tires isn't the way to do that.

Spinning your tires doesn't show how fast you are, going fast shows how fast you are. You're not going to win any races spinning your tires, except maybe a burnout competition, but really, why? It's a FWD Car, you're just going to break something.

 

[imcnblu]

to be fair, he isn't necessarily talking about roasting tires. just a chirp in second gear.

 

[JDMxDB8]

I never chirp. I never understood why people think chirping is cool.

i spin tires if i clutch kick, and if i slam 2nd...not a good thing but ive noticed if you do chirp it jumps up 5mph i think

 

[sciullo779]

i have falken all seasons, on the stock alloy rims

 

[Samurai_Blue]

if ya really want to do it, take it to 7 push in the clutch foot off the gas throw it into 2nd dump the clutch and all on gas

your a better driver than him, don't worry about it
