I bought my car brand new in 05. Drove it stock for about 3500 miles then upgraded with all the bolt ons. Was making 330whp/330wtq and the stock clutch was toast. That was with only two track days at Road America, and a few trips to the drag strip. At about 4000 miles i had to make a move. I went with an exedy stage one single disk due to not having the funds to purchase a twin disk. I have read many poor reviews on this clutch since buying it but i loved it! Good pedal feel, it seemed to slip just right when launching, and all at a decent price! Then the 50 trim turbo kit came (390whp/340wtq) and one weekend at Road America and that clutch was toast. At 12,000 miles i ordered my 3rd clutch. Went with an exedy twin standard duty. Im at 22k miles and its still holding strong. long story short? Go with a twin disk and save in the long run!

72,000 miles on the stocker. Most of its life it took 315whp/tq +/-. Autocrossed about 8 events. Launches here an there. I'm not sure how the previous owner treated it the first 20,000 miles before I bought it, but I'm pretty satisfied on how long it lasted.

Only reason I replaced it, is it started slipping at autox events. I'm sure I could have got a lot more highway/city miles on it if I would have left it in.

Right now i am at just over 164K miles and have had no major problems.
Not trying to thread-jack, but is there anyone else that has that many miles on thei Evo, or anyone who has MORE? Thats a lot for sure!

I purchased my car all ready with a lot of modifications. It came with a heavy duty organic clutch.

2 launches and 4 weeks later it is now slipping like a ****...

Thanks it looks like 50k+ is not abnormal for a driven car w/ less than 350hp. I'm not so bent now at 47k, going to talk the wife into the exedy twin. Thanks all

Bringing this thread back from the dead ... I currently have 148,000 miles on my stock clutch ... wondering if anybody has more than that?

Funny thing is .... most of my driving is in town, and I do a couple track days per year (although close to stock power levels). Still holds like it did the day I bought it!

Lately I've received a few compliments about the car, and people look at me like I'm from another planet when I tell them it's got almost 150K and on the original clutch.

Still love the Evo after 12 years! Best car I've ever owned!
