Answer this question...
Searched didn't get anything...
Well when I just bought the car I could chirp 2nd gear fairly easy... But now I can barely do it... And if I did I wouldn't know what I just did... Today I took it out to an empty parking lot and attempted to bark my tires in 2nd gear and out of 8 tries or so I could only do it once... Is it because of my tires ??? I had the same set of gay tires since I bought my civic back in the beginning of March... And ever since I did chirp my tires like crazy and there's not that much thread left... Could this be the solution getting new tires ???
I know it sounds gay and stupid but hey we all get bored ya know ???
I'm just wondering cuz I'm planning to get a K&N FIPK II and there's some people said that they can bark their tires in 3rd gear and with my situation I can barely see that happening...
Thx in advance for answering my dumbass question >8)
Also I tried to shift to 2nd in 5k rpm and near redline... I find it easier to bark the tires around 5-6krpm because when it's near redline it just yolks forward.

Rep Power: 347 well......I can still chirp mine in 2nd and 3rd with my AEM SRI. I think that bald tires make chirping easier cause you don't have as much traction to break. But I don't know what else to tell you, just drop the clutch at the redline of first

Rep Power: 0 Chirping your tires doesnt mean you have more power and it doesnt mean you are going faster.
On all of my fastest runs I never chirped any gears. everyonce in awhile I'd chirp 2nd or 3rd and got slower times. It's usually cause you do something wrong NOT right. IMO try going to the track and see what kinda times you get and see if it varies when you chirp and when you don't!! Good luck! hope that helps.

Rep Power: 0 haha when i was first learning to drive manual i chirped my tires all the time, first, second, etc. i think what you must do is lets say your in first and your about to shift to second you push the clutch in, press the accelrator to rev the engine, shift into second and release the clutch. eh well thats what i think

Rep Power: 347 I don't know for sure, it was my first time driving the car and I was used to my mustang(harder shifting) and I think I probably jerked it a little or something, let off of the gas before I got the clutch in all the way and it leeched forward a little before I quickly droped it into 3rd and gunned it.....
i think your right foot is slow on hitting the gas when you shift into second....since you just yolk forward....you gotta stomp on it as soon as you shift into 2nd after you drop the clutch

Rep Power: 0 I chirp my tires in second on the stock firestones and can bearly do it on my 17" neogens. I dont know how someone is chirping 3rd though. I believe the civic does not have enough power to chirp third.

Rep Power: 0 No way can I wear my clutch...
I just got it this year in the end of Feb/early March... almost 12k miles on it and what are the signs of a worn down clutch...
I drive 3-4k rpm daily and barely go crazy on it... Dunno how much clutch can be worn down... How would I check this ?

Rep Power: 318 I know exactly what you mean, I was the same way. For me I realized that I just got better at shifting so it was harder for me to force myself to shift like that. Since I realized that though...chirp, chirp, chirp!!! I know it accomplishes nothing, but comes in really handy when some dumbass pulls out in front of you going 20 & you need to show him how you feel about that 
Oh yea, how the hell are yall getting scratches in 3rd?? I have a K&N FIPKII & it dosent help that much, maybee on a crappy road, or on a turn...now come to think of it I have gotten one in a turn, but that dosent count.
