I had about 73K on stock clutch....my car has dynoflash, buschur MBC and buschur TBE.......do yourself a favor, sell the evo and buy an 03 cobra.

 

I've launched my Evo a few times, but only at 3K rpm....do you think I got anything to worry about? I've hit 20 pounds of boost on a spike too ....as of yet though...no problems.

 

He's right though guys. Our evo has many weakpoints in the tranny. The car should have been made to take our abuse and then some. Only if the tranny strength matched that of our engine...

 

lol. Are you kidding me. Letting it go at 3k isn't even considered launching.

 

just hope you dont get a german car....my 00 bmw 3 was teh POS from factory, and costs twice as much to fix....not to mention $25 oil filters and other crap that WILL go wrong with it

 

I have been through two clutches launching at 7000 rpm. The thrid cluth has been great though it can take abuse hyper excedy twin plate.

 

Don't buy a jaguar if your looking for low maintenance... I've one i've see starts having Engine problems after 30k

 

You've gotta love these retards that buy these cars and think they can do whatever they want to them because they "should be able to handle anything." Dumb@$$, it's a machine....if you beat the crap out of a machine it's not going to work anymore!!! Go ahead, buy an STI! Just make sure you come back and visit us EVERYTIME you blow through that clutch as well. After that, maybe you should go back to a Honda, everybody knows those cars are the sh*t when it comes to moron drivers.

 

If now is the time then you have perfect timing! Good Job!

 

almost 20,000 miles here. launched hard about 5 times. absolutely no problems, but then again, i know how to drive a manual

 

couldn't have said it better myself.

Funny how I never see any ex-DSM owners whining and crying about their Evo's, it's always just the Fischer-Price My First Performance Car crowd.

Please, no more threads like these, they make baby jesus cry.

 

I agree and this thread was resurrected from last February. Closed.
