I know for a fact that my car is nowhere near fast, but I was wondering does anyone elses tires chirps when switching to second gear? This happens to me often and its kinda cool. It's not a long, very loud chirp, but it can be heard. Maybe its the way I drive because when I get close to the gears switching I ease off the pedal.
I have a 1.6L auto, and I was just wondering does this happen to anyone else.

When I'm driving hard the tires usually chirp when I shift to 2nd, once I also chirped them when I shifted from 2nd to 3rd, It sounds cool .

Sounds cool, but chirping also means you loose speed. In a drag race you don't want to chirp, just zoom.

if I think I know what you'll are talking about. I only Chirp when I floor it while taking off wit my DX auto.

double clutching will make you chrip if your racing (racing = pedal to floor)

Same here.

WHEN I 1ST GOT MY MP5 I HAD GOOD TIRE TREAD AND I WAS ALWAYZ CHIRPING IN SECONG WAS WAS ABLE TO DO A LIGHT WEEK CHIRP IN 3RD BUT NOW THAT MY TIREZ ARE SOO BOLD I COULD BASICLY CHIRP EASLY IN 3RD AND IN THE RAIN 5TH WOULD STAY SPINING. THE KEY IS TO DROP THE CLUCH FAST WHILE SLIGHTLY GIVING A GOOD AMOUNT OF GAS RIGHT AS YOU DROP THE CLUCH...ITZ BASICLY THE SPEED AND COORDINATION OF THE DRIVER!

But just to let you know, Caps Lock means yelling. And you hurt my feelings.

Chirping in 2nd in an auto 1.6 to me is impossible...to me anyway. I've never been able to chirp anything!!

actaully if you double clutch while your racing, your clutch catches your engine while its reving up, if you shift normaly your revs will drop and then your engine has to go from decelerating to accelerating and it won't give you a kick. its like when you start from a stop, you rev up and drop the clutch, you catch your engine reving UP and you peel, so if your already moving you rev UP and drop it into second..
