also driving with flip flops sucks, it can actually be dangerous, my flip flop can fall off, get stuck under the break pedal and you wont be able to use your breaks, same for any other pedal, i almost got in a wreck once driving with flip flops

rev-matching goes along with double clutching and heel-toe braking/shifting. The purpose for rev-matching on street use is smooth down shifts and avoid over exertion of your syncros. I double clutch almost every down shift (therefore rev match) and if you have an evo or DSM your synchros (to the best of my knowledge) are known for just takin a ****, so rev matching puts less stress on them during a down shift...if you have an aftermarket clutch and you downshift regularly and here a squeal...thats you over exerting your syncros. The purpose of heel-toe and double clutching during a race setting (circuit not drag) is to carry as much speed in the proper gear through a corner. it may be something you have to practice but it certainly helps when youre running laps.

I have some decent links which explain heel and toe shifting and rev matching pretty well

Enjoy!

'Rev matching' without double clutching isn't really doing all that much for ya.

Sure it is. It prevents the wheels from locking up(shift lock) at speed, if you take your car up to about 70-80mph brake hard and have to rapidly go down the gears it will keep you from flat spotting or spinning or just not being able to stop due to the wheels being locked (search:HEAL TOE).

I was told by many that current technology wiped the need to "double clutch" so it's not very neccessary but how would it be used in daily driving today was advanced trannies and what not?
And as for Rev matching, I got my lancer two weeks ago and thats when I learned stick all the way and I thought Rev matching was essential I started doing it before I knew that I really was "rev matching" anyways pretty fun to match it pefectly with people in the car..
"YES I got it right on!"
"hmm? I didn't notice anything.."

you must use the clutch in the evo tranny. It is not a dog box.
You can get it in at the right RPM , but that is not right at all, and will cause damage in long time. Use that technic only when you lost a clutch entirely, just to make it to the first stop.
Even dogbox is appreciate it, when you use a clutch , but there you dont really need to

This is not at all correct. The design of our transmission does not allow it to happen as you describe. It is possible to snick your tranny into a lower gear if you match the outputshaft speed to the specific gear. This however is somthing that can damage your transmission in a short amount of time.
