raced mine at the track 3 times. Dropped the clutch only about 10 times and it lasted me 50K miles.

i hear what ur saying but most ppl who buy EVO's buy them to drive them just like Porsche owners. now granted there are idiots who buy EVO's, break them & then whine to us on the forums bcuz they can't afford to replace what they broke but as the motto goes u gotta pay to play. i burned my clutch at around 12k miles but mine is a weekend car & the clutch lasted me 2yrs even with several visits to the dragstrip. i got about 25 timeslips under the clutch b4 it went. also when ppl start adding power the clutch will naturally go faster bcuz of the added torque. not to mention AWD cars no matter what maker eats clutches. it's not if, but when...

60,000+ miles so far on my 03 evo.

About 300 whp (soon to be more with e85/injectors/cams! We'll see how much longer she lasts! )


I can't believe some people have only got less than 10,000 miles on the stocker...crazy!
