If you have stock clutch then it should be fairly simple. Rev to about 5k ,let the clutch out to the point where you feel it starting to engage, keep the throttle at 5k, and just let the clutch out. You shouldn't bog and your clutch should not burn to shit. The tires should break loose or at least chirp.....that's when you know you did it right!

Just don't side-step it. The STi transmission isn't anywhere near fragile at the WRX trans, but doing stuff like that still is quite hard on the rest of the driveline.

thanks for some of the good info. i tried one this morning before it rained and i think i got it pretty good. i smelt little clutch. it went away after like 10 seconds. my tires chirped for like 1/2 a second. i was inbetween 5k-55k. i think that was one of my better ones. Still, i want to see how some of you guys are doin it. i just want to make sure. thanks again!!

+1, but don't baby it either or you will be replacing your clutch very soon. Just let it out as fast as possible without just side-stepping it.

Hey man, if you come out tonight maybe you can show me what you've learned since the first time. Call me if you don't plan on going out.
