I was at a 4 lane crossover and the left rear wheel dropped into the gravels. It spun kicked up dirt and rocks and when that wheel hit pavement a little chrip from the tire.

heh..

If you use the RIGHT tires you can spin them at 30mph.... if your engine WAS NOT assembled in Venice Bch!



OK! WHO IS SCREWING WITH MY MESSAGES?

Hmm... I can drop the clutch on my 1.8L and get a chirp... but that's about all you can get out of the 1.8... after it chirps.... the acceleration rate is a bit slower than some cars... On the other hand, I have been is some poorly set up 2.0L cars that had poorer perfomance than my 1.8.... tune your cars up guys...

Don't want to drop the clutch till I rebuild the tranny that I'm putting back in.

Yea yea yea. I spin the tires every launch at the Autocross events. Kumho V700 205/50-15 Really get them rolling around the pivot cones 2nd gear with the foot mashed to the boards.

Man... if you run on -radio edit- tires, like the ones they came with... basically.... you can spin through 3 gears, on a touch of dew.. any 914.

I've never broken 1st gear with a 2.0, or anything smaller, CVs are another story.

Nothing like lighting up your 95 hp!

I have no trouble lighting first gear from a dead stop every time if I want to. I just did my valves and set my timing/dwell and got a chirp going into second for the first time ever tonight.

My BUG chirps in third.
