who still is on their stock clutch?

My car has 24000 miles and the clutch still grabs and holds like the day it was new. How much longer do you think it will last? Who currently has the highest mileage on the stock clutch?

I have about 29k on my clutch and it is still in really good shape. I don't launch my car much at all, maybe 5 times total. I think the evo clutches will last a really long time if you have bolt on mods don't launch everywhere you go.

26K with 363whp and 348wtq, holds awesome. Just take it easy and don't launch it all the time and the stocker will last.

if your launching just make sure you give the clutch time to cool off befor launching again. i had about 75 launchs off the 2 step and countless hard take offs. but the key is doing it right and letting it cool off.

its a launching aid i kno the ix has it idk about the 8s but its more or less a rev limiter set lower then primary rev limiter to allow you to build boost so you can get a faster launch. push the clutch in nd hit the gas it hits around 5500 stock on the 9s

well since he has a 9, basically put the car in 1st gear with the clutch in and get on the gas. The car will bounce off the 2step and build boost in the process. Then slip the clutch and hold on tight.

thats the whole point of it. Mitsu put it on there so ppl wouldn't destroy the car so freakin fast.
