Clutch blew at 2300 miles then my six-puck has chunks missing at 6500 miles, gettung Exedy hyper single disc. Oh also my motor blew.
Maybe you should include a little more info with the "my motor blew" part, I may be wrong, but I believe you posted elsewhere that you attributed this to the Emanage firmware or ignition harness incompatibility, certainly not a manufacturer's defect.

Just out of curiosity, when your clutch blew, what mods did you have on it, and how many races/autox/drags had you done. Just wondering, not trying to imply anything. I know the originator of this thread didn't specify mods or not, but that leaves a lot of ambiguity as to what caused the problems.

2800 Miles and no problems except I can't get this grin off my face. People are starting to think I'm psychotic.

PS would someone add one to the No Problem count. I'm getting an error message.

A little over 3,000 miles and no problems. The only thing is a slight rattle somewhere around the gauge/steering wheel area.

3k and no problem. Burned the clutch till it stunk like dead animal becaue my leg got lazy and I didn't pay attention. But the clutch after it cooled down worked better than before. hehe
I believe most problems we here about the Evo are caused by the drivers and the mods they put in. Some might have gotten a bad batch which does happen with all car companies. But I believe some are crap put in here by jealous people who didn't wait long enough and bought some other car, they are not happy with. This happened to me in the past. I bought an Acura Integra GSR and few month later WRX came out. But now I am glad since I traded in the Acura and got the Evo, one of the best production car in the world without a doubt.
