evolutionm.net - View Single Post - To new Evo X owners: Save your clutch (and $1500)

Revox · Nov 20, 2009, 06:16 PM

10k miles on my X, 4 weeks in summer ,2 weeks in winter including an ice lapping session.

This past summer I spent a weekend at a road race events and 1 day with friends at a closed air strip. The day at the airstrip we did MULTIPLE launches in my evo from a dead stop, on a hot day on the tarmac. The clutch held up very well despite the need to slip the clutch quite heavily for a good launch. In fact the other evo owner with us that day (who owns an 8) was quite unwilling to slip his clutch at all and as a result had much poorer launches compared to myself.

The clutch is still holding up very well although I can't say the same for the stock tires! I have a new flywheel/clutch ready to install when need be, and despite my willingness to be a DIY'er, that is one job I'll leave to the pro's.
