If you're keeping the RPMs below 2k when engaging then you're fine. People have different techniques for starting from first. In my CRX I used to modulate the throttle while engaging the clutch since it was so touchy. In the FR-S I bump and hold the RPMs to around 1-1.5k, engage clutch right to the point of engagement, hold until wheel speed matches engine speed, then fully engage clutch. This car is really hard to stall. You can get away with very little throttle when starting off from first.
