My car use to chirp really loud in second gear ! Now it doesn't chirp at all . My through out bearing has been making noise for a while ! Maybe clutch is starting to slip ? It shifts perfects no problem just doesn't chirp like before ! Trust me I'm pushing it and the weathers been hot and still nothing any ideas ?

 

hot weather makes your tires softer, maybe it's just gripping better?


tires not chirping is kind of a vague symptom....also hot air is less dense


get a turbocharger, and try getting ANY traction through the entire 2nd gear....lol

 

Lol I see little Hondas chirping hard af in second gear I'm like damn lol my **** don't chirp at all now !!! And trust me I know I'm running 100 shot of nitrous !

 

wth?

 

Wth what ? It's not chirping when I'm not running nitrous because it used to . Lol with nitrous I have no traction . Wth?

 

is it possible your clutch starting to slip?

 

That's what I'm thinking because my through out bearing been making noise for a couple thousand miles ! Any good clutch kits?

 

throw out bearing doesn't make your clutch slip..lol


clutch kit depends on your needs...you're running 100 shot...so you probably should have at least a stage 1 clutch.

so ACT HD/SS, or clutchmasters FX-100 or 200

spec apparently makes decent clutches as well...

 

I know it doesn't make it slip but it's a sign that soon clutch might start slipping and yeah I'm going with act stage 3 clutch

 

Things I know that have an impact on chirping ability :

Clutch condition
Tires
Road conditions (temp, dampness, etc.)
Engine/tranny mounts
Suspension
Driver
Condition of crossmember (see below pics)





My guess is your front engine mount is shot, like mine was.

Replace it with a Blox Roller stopper for an Evo8 if it isn't already done. It will also help control clutch chatter (clutch bouncing on the pressure plate) and wheel hop.

My mount was torn almost all the way. Inspect your crossmember just in case.

 

Then run the same Walmart "Douglas Xtra" iron doughnuts as those little tu*ds.

p.s. damn these holiday ad pop-ups are cheesing me off - what is going on with evom now?

 

hahaha, so true...I'm sure I could find a set of tires that I could chirp in 4th gear...

 

Ad Block Plus to the rescue.

 

Thank yuh, sir. btw, how are things on your end, car-project-wise?

 

^^ going nowhere fast.

I will not revisit till May at the earliest, when the aim will be to:
Split donor engine and gearbox
Replace timing belt and water pump on donor engine
Remove flywheel
Get RA to pass emissions test or whatever they call it this year
Remove engine and gearbox from RA then solicit Cranswick and you to help with replacing the IPS bearing and install LSD

That should take me to the end of June.
