Very, very impressive Redcloud

Just curious -- how long did you keep it stock (or at what mileage did the mods begin)?

Man this thread is funny when I think of similar threads on NASIOC.... seems like Subaru owners drive a lot more than EVO owners do.

I guess thats good if I wanna buy a used EVO, lots of low mile ride around

I did a 5K mile break in where I didn't go over 5,000 rpms. After that I installed the HKS intake and the Buschur 3" turbo back. I was hooked from then on!

I broke 180K today!.
I live in the WV mountians so I get out and drive really hard in the twisties at least once a weekend as long as it's not really hot out. I change the oil every 7500 miles with AMSoil 100% synthetic (10w-30). If I've driven hard a few times I'll change it at 5000. I'll most likely move of to 15w-30 in a few more miles. The car has never used more than 1/2 of a quart between oil changes. I'm just seeing how long it will last before I have to rebuild it!

How many clutches have you gone through, what types, and which is the best in your opinion if you have used different types
