I'm convinced the only way to learn to slide is by alot of sliding seat time.
What helped me was Winter Driving school at Team Oneil's rally facility.
I'm not awesome at sliding, but i'm good enough to scare the crap out of my passengers, without putting it into a pole/guard rail.

I completely agree. The only way to to get good at it is to practice. Preferably in an empty parking lot.

Theres something so fun about heading towards a corner twice as fast as you should (especially in the snow) and seeing your passanger grab for the oh sh*t handle while you effortlessly drift it through the corner like you were born with a steering wheel in your hands and pedals at your feet.

Is your clutch already going out? Let me give you a piece of advice from my own learning experience (and people here can back me up since they have heard of my fun with my clutch), go for the exedy twin when you need a new clutch. I went single disc and only because I thought the "chatter" of a twin would drive me nuts. Come to find out it isn't that bad. And the single disc sucks.

As far as warrenty, if you need someone to do it, Marshall and I can highly recommend someone who is a Mitsu tech. He is the only person at a dealership I would EVER let touch my car. And if you think it'll void your mitsu warrenty it won't. He knew I had a clutch in my car and didn't care. It's a wear and tear iten and exedys can be rebuilt for less than half the price of the clutch itself.

worth the money, don't make my mistake, do it once and do it right (TWSS)
