One of the reasons some people need a clutch sooner than others is because their cars are putting out more power than stock. How much whp does your car have? A stock car could last a long time on the clutch since it's sized for that power level. If your making over 100whp more than stock then your going to wear the OEM clutch much sooner.

FIX/REPLACE: Replaced brake pads twice. Still on stock rotors, but I get some brake squeek now and again. Have done everything known to man to stop the squeek, including guarenteed quiet brake pads. Really annoying. Might replace rotors soon.

Changed oil every 3000 miles. New tires at 26000, due for rotation. Still on stock clutch, no problems yet. Due for all fluids changed. Stock tranny. Might change shifter bushing and clips. Starting to feel weird.

Biggest concern right now is some noise coming from my timing belt/water pump area. Mechanic with a stethiscope probe gave me his best scientific guess and said it sounds like the water pump bearing going bad. 80 dollar pump...300 in labor. Or I could take it to the dealer an hour away and be out of a car for 2 days since it's under warranty.

Drive style: Moderate and casual most of the time. Bye-bye now and again to show the ricers or muscle car wanna-be's who's boss. Few pulls from a dig. Burnt the clutch a few times but still grabs like the day I bought it.

Mileage:3 (brand new)
Mileage Current:Unsure, but when I sold it it had 52k
FIX/REPLACE:Engine @ 3076 miles, oil starvation (engine was totally dry, not just a little dry), Mitsu voided warranty (User fault, I was "supposed" to check the oil on a brand new engine apparently), cost about 8k to replace, Transfer case @ about 20k miles, Dealer put wrong fluid in, cost: however much TRE charges for a rebuilt case. Everything else has been normal wear, especially for how much I tracked in. I barely replaced the rotors near the end of its 3 year run with me.
Drive style:Hard, the way the car was supposed to be able to be driven Lots and lots and lots of auto-x, track, and daily driving for the full 3 years I had it.
