Chirpy tires

Oh wow I didn't realize my tires chirp so bad! My stereo is usually on really loud, so I dont hear it. But today out of school i was changing a CD and my tires chirped REALLY NICELY from 2nd to 3rd. Sounded incredible. Well I like my tires chirping, and I want a shift kit. I've heard horror stories of B&M shift kits so I'd prolly go with a TransGo kit instead.

When my tires chirp, it makes me look like a badarse :P

You've all got shift kits and don't realize it. Common mod years ago.
