Update!

How many miles does everybody have on their x so far? I currently have 23,750 miles. Notable issues are the clutch feels like its about to go and braking is alot more difficult. how long does the pads usually last on the evo?

11180. Clutch is doing ok even with lots of bolt ons. It cannot take a launch though.

The stock clutch should melt to butter.

Id rather people complain about a bad stock clutch than have to listen about all the broken TC's like i read about with the 8 and 9 when people were launching.

I'm at 24,300 and just replaced my pads with Girodisc Magic Pads and my tires with Falken RT-615's.

Clutch doesn't feel as good as it did, but it's still going to last me awhile.

it's definitely not a bulletproof car. CEL's are so easy to obtain, ASC kicks itself off for sneezing, and the clutch smell is absolutely horrible at times.

worst part is dealing with mitsubishi dealerships.

/\/\ Suprised? I can't imagine why... I swear we need to pull up the threads from when the VIII first came out, they would look IDENTICAL.

My clutch feels fantastic, brakes are amazing, tires are shredded (f'in canyon runs) and I am as happy as the day I bought it.

Just be happy for what you got peoples, geez.

What are good tires to buy when replacing the Yokohamas considering that Tirerack sells them for over $300 each? The usual suspects: Hankooks Ventus R-S2s (which I like), Kumho MX, Falken 615s, Bridgestone RE01Rs (not cheap), the new Dunlop high performance tire?
