is it possible to perform a doughnut in a standerd impreza without the center diff control?
after watching sum friends playing on a private field the best i saw was a kinda shrapish turn on the grass, im thinking more of the kind say a rally driver would preform, im sure ive heard the phrase "axis turn" sumwhere along the line, with the front wheel staying on the spot etc etc
watched them on grass and tarmac, better results were yeilded on the grass, the tarmac was just a big understeering mess.
search function reveals nothing of intrest

Effectively no. The fixed-split viscous centre diff makes it virtually impossible to doughnut, or indeed perform a proper handbrake turn. Both techniques require either an open centre diff, or even better the ability to disconnect one or other of the axles.

Depends on the surface.
You'll get a pretty good impression of a doughnut on very low friction surfaces - ice, snow and wet grass for example - but not on tarmac without the diff control.

I can doughnut my standard MY00. I can get it to pivot round one wheel in forward and reverse, haven't seen it myself but have witnesses, it is a bizare feeling when it happens just spinning on the spot rather than corkscrewing.

No problem in my MY02 STi except on dry tarmac!
I'm just wondering what the diff has to do with hand brake turns? On any rear/4 wheel drive car you just have to dip the clutch to do it, then bring the power back on at the right moment to go the direction you want!

ive have never done one ever, i might go and find a field late tonight and give it a try, would i be right in thinking that full lock is applied then just dump the clutch in 1st?

If/when it manages to do so, the viscous coupling will in turn slow the front axle dramatically, resulting in a tendency for the car to slide straight on rather than locking its rear axle and pivoting around the free spinning front.
This is why the DCCD equipped cars have a handbrake release that opens the centre diff, and why Group A/World Rally Cars have even more complicated systems.
Incidentally, if you can do this sort of thing with ease on a viscous car, it probably means your centre diff's shot, or is soon going to be!

I remember trying this in my Escort Cossie and its not as easy as you'd think its easy enough to spin the car around the tricky bit from memory was to keep it going round!

Whether it's a "true" doughnut or not is I guess not that relevant to most of us.
I KNOW I was doing doughnuts in the Snow a couple of years ago.....well it was spinning around on the spot give or take a few feet....
Throughly good fun and all at about 5 miles an hour..... full lock and give it some welly!
