im at like 10,500... and i bought the car late august. Mine's holding up very well. No issues to speak of and I am changing the oil every 3k and rotating the tires every 6k. I have been driving it a ridiculous amount and it has treated me well.

As someone else mentioned, the clutch is too soft, but it's either that or the transfer case that's gonna go from repeated hard launches. People need to drive the car how it was intended to be driven, i.e. road racing, not drag racing. Launching an AWD car is extremely hard on the drivetrain and there's no two ways about. People need to learn how to drive these cars and take responsibility when they burn the clutch up from drag racing and not blame it on mitsu.
Amen brutha!

Im new to the sport car thing... rode bikes in the canyons for a few years, track days, etc... looking for some peeps to drive with.. any good spots to meet on weekends.. Track Days? All my connections are bike related, its like starting over... Hahaha.

But back to the post. 4000 miles. I drive it hard. Tires look at about 40%. Clutch stinks, feels like its loosing some bite (maybe I suck).... Got a Injen COI and my Vishnu Flash is arriving tomorrow.. Might be selling the Intake soon Car is wearing fine otherwise...
