Clutch life expectancy

Just curious, what is the average life expectancy of the 04-06 Ralliart stock clutch?

Specifically, a stock clutch associated with no mods, no launches, no racing - no abuse; all under normal (read: no launches, no racing, no abuse) driving patterns and regular maintenance.

I think your only going to get guesses at best because everyone here has done one of those things to the car....No mods, no launches,never raced,no abuse,and normal driving...hmm well mine is on 62k , I won 2 burnout competitions years back, several times at the track with 115 shots of nitrous, I did my fair amount of "spirited" driving when when I was younger I'd say if you were granny driving it from purchase, it should last 100k...

If you treat it nicely it should last (and this goes for about any clutch out there) the life of the car. Most people, however, aren't very nice to their clutches. I changed my clutch at around 100k because I wanted something more aggressive and my stock clutch was in practically new condition, almost no wear at all.

That's awesome! So pretty much, as long as I don't treat with abuse, it should last over 100k.

Otter what clutch are you using now?

I'm at 64k KM's and about 30k of those has been turbo'd. I don't always beat it on the road, no issues so far.

Clutchmasters Stage 1. It's been in the car for around 110,000 miles now. I expect the car to explode long before this clutch does.

Unless I let it slip? I just assumed this is something that just kinda, well, happens? Am I mistaken?
