yep that's me guys...go to ams or go home and do it yourself (if you are somewhat mechanically inclined...a stage 1 broken in properly for 1k lasted me less than 1.8k ...a 40+ stocker lasted me almost 2.3k and i learned how to drive on it....gives you a idea of the job they did....i put exedy oe replacement..at 3k and 15ish launches and still like new...

and break in includes NO BOOSTING!!!! something i didn't know...and honda tech guys didnt tell me because they don't have turbos on many cars so it doesnt make a difference for them....balistic speed is a great guy if you want a clutch install cheap... i think he charges...400-450ish...

you need at least 350-400 miles, before you start boosting to break-in the clutch propertly and forget about launching neither. Umm friend of mine has a small shop that he just opened and he did mine for 400 bux + oil. took him about 5-6 hours (same day install) as a friend he hooked me up with SS clutch line and I told him to take restrictor out. He did a super clean job. I know I can trust him. HE did about 8 evo's clutches allready plus he owns one himself. I dont want to steal anyones business, just pm me if you're interested.

Will I did buy it used with 16k miles. I've raced it a lot (clutch kicking) so thats why I was thinking about upgrading the clutch. The clutch feels weaker than before. So I thought I was going to have to upgrade soon. But its still holding up.
