A guy in a shop once said to me "if you don't need a new clutch on that after 20k then you're not driving it right"

Pod was the only time its had abit of death handed to it & it pops.

Tony clutch was abit slippy before it went in

Standard bits going on, not really interested in 'racing' it, just having the power there if I need it, plus its costing a bomb for standard power already

Always worth sticking in a new clutch while the engines out for all the cost of one.

Ok an impreza one a bit more expensive but still.....

Will be nice to get her back Andy

maybe two launches of someones launching technique....

Fee fried the flywheel before her clutch but just replaced both...

I launched that at 8000rpm a few times... didnt grumble

She launched about 6500rpm most of the time...

thats with just dumping the clutch most of the time. I think maybe most of the heat damage is from sitting with the transmission 'hooked' burning the clutch and flywheel then feating the clutch on take off... I think that would goose a clutch fairly quick.

I set a corsa clutch on fire in 1 day :/
