when changing from 1st 2 2nd qucikly the front tyres slip. why does it do this?? it wierd cuz u do the same kinda change in any other gear and it doesnt do anything like that. 2nd is also kinda rough when changing compared 2 others. btw my gearbox was just completely fixed up 2.
cheers

It's chirping.
I'm guessing you mean driving hard, shift quick and you get a little chirp from the tyres?
Just means that your car has too much guts :P lol Nah it's perfectly normal, if you want to reduce it, however, consider better tyres.
I had ridiculous amounts of slip when I shifted to 2nd after the DOHC swap. I was running Michelin Certis all round. Then I swapped to Pirelli P6000's and now I get a tiny chirp. Good for traction ;)

any particular brand that would b good 4 traction especially in wetter conditions cuz current tyres slip out easy.

perhaps driving a little easier on the poor car is a cheaper alternative, not only for tyres
