Chirp when goin slow/giving a lil gas
My car gives off a lil chirp when i give it some gas at low speeds, and its really annoying, car has lowering springs...wondering if thats it...i need to get the coilovers soon. atleast i dont bottom out tho..****..(oh and new clutch feels crappy- u have to engage with it only half-way down).
Im really happy i got all that **** fixed tho, i just want that low speed chirp gone.

Sure it's not AC belt? My car doesn't give off a loud screech or anything on startup, just occasionally while driving, will let out a small chirp. Happens to me at all speeds, also when shifting gears at higher RPM's. (4k+)

Far be it for me to tell you how to drive your car. It is your car, not mine. But I think you are winding the engine and trans to hard. Unless it is for a certain reason, you really have no need to to be in 1st gear over 2k. Once you hit the shift point, between 2k and 3k rpm and/or 25-35 mph, you really should be in 2nd. If you really must wind the drivetrain up that tight, do it in 2nd or 3rd, BUT NOT first. lol It's not as rough on the components.
That's why you're chirping. You have the drivetrain wound up too tight. lol
You'll end up breaking something pretty quick. Prolly an axel or CV joint.
But that's just my opinion.

Re: (Slow89HB)
Probably your alternator belt slipping during drastic rpm changes. Usually chrips are caused by belts slipping.
Since you dont have a tach, you definately dont have ac, you're a 91 so you dont have power steering, the timing belt has teeth so it cant slip...the only belt left is the alt belt.
