Ok, i was on my way home last night and me and my friend (99 eclipse) came to a stop light. he wanted to race so i was like yea whatever lets go. so we take off....i spin a little in second and then chirp shifting to third. now i find that a little odd because of the fact that my friends 300 hp srt-4 cant even chirp third. i dont know how i did it but i did....the streets werent wet or anything. Is there something wrong with this picture? i mean the car is fairly new only having 900 on it as of now so i mean the clutch is still practically brand new so im guessing maybe thats the reason. please let me know what u guys/girls think of this. oh and by the way....the car is stock...got weapon r intake but its not on yet.

that chirp is the newer clutch disc mating with a reasonably new flywheel...I used to think my VW would chirp all 5 gears...don't kid yourself, it's still a TC...

Mizle

yea well thats why i was asking....although it did kinda sound like rubber slipping on pavement

i can chirp my tires in to 3rd almost every time. well as long as im shifting as fast as my hands will let me. but it is very possible

matty-tC

I chirp D.

ph34r me!

Marshall

Yeah completely possible to get a slight peel into third. I usually chirp 3rd on my tC when I'm at the drag strip. It's kewl when the person your racing against hears it and asks about it...

Mizle

MUAHAHA so i DID chirp third...i was starting to think i was hearing ____.

wascionTC

i have also done the same but it only happen when i had about 2500k now that i have 23000k its not happing.but the civic Si driver that was getting his ___ handed to him when it did go down was impress but i let him know it was a brand new car and we went for one more run and i never was able to do it again...

lol.. poopie..

effin_sciontc

Yes its true i do it everytime i race i hope that with a turbo i could chirp fourth. But i think we chirp third cuz of our crappy tires so if you like chirping third dont change your tires.

Mizle

i chirped 4th once....it was wet outside though O.o

I put 18" konigs on my car with kuhmo supra 712 tires and can still chirp 3rd all stock except for trd exhaust which does nothing for hp.

Mizle

god i love this car hey jdawg u got any pics of ur car with the konigs cuz i have the same color and im trying to decide on a set of rims.

Jdawg82

Here is an old pic before I painted my calipers red. I have posted other pictures on here with the calipers painted if you feel like searching for them.

Mizle

nice....but um yea i dont like searching lol. hey im thinkin of doin my calipers also...is it an easy process?

Jdawg82

Yea its simple with the kit I bought. It is a ceramic paint put out by duplicolor. I bought it at autozone you just brush it on rather than spray it on. You dont have to remove the caliper but it is only 2 bolts so I reccomend it.

Jdawg82

Here is what they look like painted http://public.fotki.com/jdawg82

Mizle

so u can just take off your rims and paint them right there like in ur driveway? sorry im a bit new to this whole painting thing

Mizle

i see that u put fog lights in the side corner holes...was it easy taking out that stupid black thing?

Jdawg82

Yea you just jack up the car take off the rims and paint the calipers. Then let the paint dry about an hour before puttin the rim back on. The black plastic thing popped right out with little force.
