It would be better to do it on a damp road. Dry conditions are really hard on the cars drive train. Personally I think its a stupid way to fawk something up but you asked the question.

I would rev to around 6,000 and sidestep the clutch, immediately after you sidestep, get on the brake. Not too hard but enough to stop the car from rolling forward. Depending on the weather and humidity results may very. Hope you don't hurt anything. haha have fun.

get a different car, you have a CDV in that MY06 which will not allow you to do a burnout the way you probably want.

And please, don't do this in public. We don't want another ghost riding the whip story.

No matter how you do it. It will obviously be harder on the car than driving it regularly.

If you attempt it without removing the CDV... get ready for a great smelling clutch and lots of slipping afterwards.

If you really want to do it. Remove the CDV either by purchasing an older version 2000-2003 or find the link to the DIY CDV mod. Then Rev to 6000+ RPM's and dropthe clutch =

Millertown15 explained one way to do a standing burnout, but it's a technique I'd avoid. With your AP2, you will need to do some mods anyway, to get rid of the CDV (clutch delay valve), and if you really want to do standing burnouts you should also install a line-lock. This will allow you to lock the front breakes independently and is easier on the driveline and rear brakes.

However, the best advice has already been given. Unless you remove the clutch delay valvce you'll fry the clutch. Remove the CDV and blow a launch and you'll break things. The heavier AP2 flywheel will work in your favor if you don't make any mistakes, but it compounds the potential problems if you err.

If you just want to light up the tires (rather than doing a full standing burnout) and if (and only if) you have a safe place to legally try such things then you can get them spinning without doing a hard launch (as long as you aren't set on going in a straight line ). All you have to do is turn the steering to full lock, ease out the clutch normally, and then floor the car. As centrifigual force and power build, the back tires will start spinning and if you stay on the gas you'll be doing donuts. If you try this and hit anything or break your car, don't blame me. You can feather (AKA ruin) the tires, and if there are any weak points (like low tire pressure) you can get into serious trouble (like having a tire come off the rim). If you elect to take such risks it's on your head.

True, but no matter how you cut it, this car was never intended to be driven the way one drives an Accord. "Driving it regularly" (all the time) is a complete waste of a perfectly good sports car.
