Hello :]

I'm Mia and the bf and I just bought an Evo VIII MR a couple weeks back.

And just as a starter question here (maybe I didn't search hard enough), how miles did everyone manage to put on their stock clutches before they replaced 'em?

does depend on how u drive and what u do with the car. the stock clutch is pretty stout though so if your not beating the hell out of it daily, it should give you a good 40-50k. more if u just drive well normal i guess. havent really known anyone to just drive and evo normal though,lol. congrats on the purchase and welcome to evom

I drive pretty hard everyday and I autox and drag.

I have been able to get roughly 25-30k miles out of a stocker.

+1.

pics of said girl who drives Evo VIII MR! . Gotta love the forum leg-humping. you've achieved smoking internet hot factor by saying "i drive an Evo MR" .

well if it's daily driving and assuming you know how to drive stick and aren't learning on the Evo... i think you should be set for at least a few years of spirited driving

yeah, well of course the car is used so the stock clutch is a little worn already. thank god it was a leased car and not an owned car before!
and, it's not our first stick shift car so.. no worries.

I didn't think evos could be leased. Nice to know there are probably some stock evos for sale out there. Welcome to the boards, can't wait to see some pics!

Leg humping FTW...

My stock clutch was 100% fine the day I sold my car with 53k miles on it. Lots and lots and lots and lots of track racing, a few trips to Vegas, and lots of spirited around town driving. Just don't launch the crap out of it and you'll be fine.

Yeah, me neither! I got excited when I saw the carfax though.


...and whoa 50k... makes me feel a lot more secure. Already have an exedy waiting as a backup though, just to be prepared!
