I hear that, gonna be spending lots of money on my car in the spring including a new ruby red paint job woohoo!

 

I have 18,400 replaced stock POS clutch with ACT set up. Put on winter tires at 14,000. I also have HKS cat back. Waiting for Greddy Profec spec II soon.

 

Amost 9k - zero problems besides lack of $$$.

 

Leaving your foot on the pedal (even if it's only pressed in a 1/2") increases the wear on the throw-out bearing on the pressure plate. It will still outlast your clutch disk and pressure plate.

If you're not launching the car or doing 2nd gear starts, you should get 50K+ from the clutch - and that's assuming all city driving. If you can't shift smoothly, you'll accelerate the wear, but based on your (Scot) experience with manuals, I'd hope you are beyond this point. A lot of use doesn't affect a clutch the same as abuse. Show me a clutch worn out after 10K miles on any car, and I'll show you a car that's been launched and/or a driver that doesn't know how to properly shift.

 

I suspect most of us are familiar with that
