When I floor it on take off. I chirp the tires in second gear for a sec or so. BTW my03 is fully stock w/ brand new tires.

ace123

what tires do you have?

s2000maniac

well its funny that you asked.... they are called Accelera Alpha summer tires, speed rating up 168 mph.... was on a tight budget and couldnt get the OEM ones. But I do remember chirping the OEM ones too, I guess they were worn out.

Not Sure

Is that unusual? When I shift into second gear at WOT my tires break traction for about 10 feet and the rear end pulls to the right.

Yes I know it's hard on the drivetrain, I'm looking for an excuse to upgrade my diff.

I don't understand what kind of response you're wanting.... Why would you assume that you're doing something wrong? If you accelerate hard with an aggressive shift, you'll spin or chirp your tires momentarily when the clutch re-engages. That's just what happens, especially if you have a harder tire that it fully or overinflated.

Calm down dude. There's no reason for you to think that the thread would go in that direction since you are the first to reply. Although now I hope it does

s2000maniac

No, I think you're the one who needs to calm the fack down!
I was just messing with that dude.

Lol...
why would there be anything wrong with chirping tires on a 1-2 shift? if it can be done on a stock civic with 98ft/lb of torque, it can be done in an s2k.

Not Sure

You mean with my comment about upgrading my diff? lol I'm just trying to calm down the guys who are going to say "the S isn't meant to be drag raced!". They're going to flame you too because you shift your S too hard
