Just hit 2 days ago 60K on the odometer, and she still runs like a champ, and I beat the crap out of the car too. 106k now that's awsome!

yeah, it lasted around 70k miles with plenty of racing and hard driving, and me learing to launch it haha. the biggest mistake i ever made was swapping the stocker for an Exedy stage1. i should have gone stocker again. i seem to have gotten a pretty good handle on the launching though since i ran 12.82 @ 107.41 with just a catback, and a dirty drop in filter...no tune, on cold, wet, overinflated tires lol 1.86 60'. with a decent 1.7 i should have been able to hit 12.6-12.7. when i have time i'm gonna try to make it back out there again, but i've just been autocrossing a lot lately (thank Goodness). looks like we may have 3 autocrosses in 3 weeks. we had one last weekend, have one tomorrow morning, and one next weekend. can't wait.

My car is an 03 with just over 80k, and I still have the stock clutch too. Funny thing is, the clutch grabs just as strong as the day I bought the car (3 years and 60k miles ago)

that's awesome to hear stock clutches lasting so long. I killed mine driving cross country towing a trailer, had no choise there. So I replaced it with the exedy stage 1, what didnt you like about your stage 1 odub? I really like mine.

i hate everything about it. i get high rpm lockout like you wouldn't believe. seems to be the worst in 2nd, and 4th. 3rd isn't usually too bad, but shifting into 2nd, into 4th, into 5th, and even 6th at redline is pretty much not an option. it engages harshly, and it engages higher in the pedal than the stocker did...and the stocker was already too high. it's just a terrible terrible clutch. worst mistake i ever made. i should have put another stocker in. i plan to yank the exedy soon and go back to a stock clutch.

like WoW...great to see these kinda numbers and your Evo is super clean...you obviously take care of her very well........ona side note I have 50,000 on my 06 MR, 21 months of driving, lots of launches at the drag strip and some hard driving...my clutch held up to 46,000 and started to slip progressively worse until this weekend when I had a Spec SM80PT which will hold 1100ft/lbs.....Needless to say I am very impressed with the OEM clutch, FYI...the oem stock clutch has an Exedy material, as do the majority of Clutch Manufacturers out there do...
