New guy and his SI

Hello everyone,
after much thought and waiting finally got a 2008 Black SI!

Drove it home today, and more practice with the stick tomarrow

Any advice on moving from stop?

rev to 1k, let off the clutch til it catches. when you get more experienced you'll be able to do a smooth clutch/rev.

just remember when your starting from stop, its always better to give it a little more gas, instead of a little less gas.

Screeching tires > Stalling.

try the no-gas method. find the friction point. then give it some gas.
