hey all, ive been wanting to know if its normal for a car ( my car) to not chirp 2nd in the wet and struggle to do it on dirt roads. it seems like ive lost a bit of power since i bought it, pretty much since i changed my clutch to a exedy heavy duty. it use to chirp with the standard clutch until it started slipping.
so, is it normal for it not to chirp? only does it if i flat shift
btw the car is a stock 89 civic, d15b4
perhaps you're getting more bite with the new clutch and its gripping better?Quote:

I prefer not to have chirping -cause that means wheel spin :p
the old tires wernt brand new but still had heaps of tread on them, i got new wet weather tires on it not to long ago, but the wheels spin so easy when taking off in first but still doesnt wanna chirp 2nd. i dont always wanna chirp, jus wanna be able to get it going when i want to.
acceleration seems pretty crap to, i cleaned the carbs today with carby cleaner spray and it seemed to make it a tad more responsive
mine chirps second easy and if u flatten it in second u can get it to spin to redline in the wet of course :P carby mods will be coming soon see if there is any difference :)
Change your spark plugs and fuel filter recently? Also, clean your carby with carby cleaner.
Also check the Air Filter, a dirty filter can have a huge effect on performance. Go for a K&N panel filter :thumbsup:
And do an oil and oil filter change ftw.
flat shift! yike poor lil gear box :P
