This is why you stop when there is a problem. Just like I said, you made it look worse by driving it.
IMO, get it towed to a nearby Evo shop. You'll save some cash, and be able to put a better aftermarket clutch in.

Going to see what mitsubishi can do for me, last resort is I get it towed to a shop that has worked on evos and let them go to work.

Definitely sucks man, I would at least have an Evo shop give their opinion on it and see if they have a dealership they work with who is willing to go to bat for you.

Just wanted to quote some of these awesome goodies above.
You abused the clutch, it's pretty obvious. They don't just go out. Every month a thread like this pops up.
Unfortunately you chose an expensive car to learn how to drive a clutch.
There are tons of people with stock clutches still even with +100whp/wtq. I am one of them and I track the car too. Drive the car correctly and they last.

But I didnt learn on this car, its not my first rodeo. Something had to be faulty, which casued the pressure plate and clutch to be getting way to hot. It went from slipping to dead in 45 minutes of highway driving. Thats not my error. Kind of funny how you can point fingers at me but if something like that happened to one of you, you would know it wasnt you because clearly you talk like you "know how to drive" and I do not.
