Honest question -- know how to on a bike, but not in a Scoob ... what's the technique?

full lock, dip clutch, first gear, Rev it up, dump the clutch smile for the rest on the day if it understeers watch out

Then start saving for a new clutch

I find a slow 5mph-ish rolling start, an arm full of lock and a jab of handbrake to be marginally more mechanically sympathetic

Want to make your own doughnuts at home? Here are tips from The Joy of Cooking:
* Doughnut dough is best made with room-temperature ingredients. Handle minimally and chill before rolling and cutting.
* Roll or pat the dough between 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick and cut with a well-floured doughnut cutter. A biscuit or cookie cutter, one about 2 1/2 inches to 3 inches in diameter and the other about 1 inch in diameter (for the hole), will work, too.
* Transfer doughnuts to a piece of wax paper and let them air-dry for about 10 minutes. A slight crust will develop and reduce the amount of fat the doughnuts absorb.
* Fry doughnuts in any oil or solid shortening that is fresh and clean.
* Use a deep skillet, saucepan or fryer -- a deep fryer with a rotating basket is preferred.
* Keep the oil at a consistent temperature of 365-375 degrees. Do not let oil get to smoking point.
* Fry doughnuts until they are deeply golden on one side, then flip them over.
* Remove cooked doughnuts from the fryer with tongs and transfer them to a triple layer of paper towels to drain, patting off fat. As soon as one batch comes out of the fryer, put another in.
* For sugared doughnuts, shake them in a bag of granulated sugar (add cinnamon to bag if desired) while still warm. Or dust them with powdered sugar after they've cooled slightly.
* Doughnuts are best while fresh, no more than an hour or two out of the fryer.

Thanx SB -- tell you what, I'll nip to the local bakery. It'll save time, and clutches

Or you could just go to your local police station....I'm sure they would have a few!

On the real topic you haven't specified what surface. If its a wet surface you'll need a full on nasty clutch dump. On snow or ice you can get the car moving (clutch fully engaged) then slowly turn to full lock whilst nailing the gas. It varies from surface to surface.

find a large open space

drive at 5 mph sudden full lock and tug on handbrake (then release) to set up rear end kicking out, then apply more power whilst turning full opposite lock

result some nice large donuts with 4 wheel slide


SWEET and not so harsh on clutch.


now wheres a nice open space lolol

A word of caution, I don't know whether Imprezas suffer from this, or whether it is a Legacy water cooled intercooler thing, but keep an eye on the temperature gauge, as it shoots up quite quickly due to the lack of airflow

Come to basildon will show you how to do it on tarmac no snow or ice :P

tizard99

Basildon ay? only if Southend seafront is shut

As a general rule in this weather I find accelerating in a straight line seems to work quite well......

Richard Askew

Gossy on tarmac in the wet and in the dry rocks bigtime

pcdude

i thought it was difficult to do as its AWD and risk of blowing the diff unit ?

Am i incorrect ?
