Car paid off = clutch starting to slip
How convenient isn't it? 54k mile with 350awhp and many passes at the drag strip finally did her in. I've been pricing around and the cheapest I could find for labor cost will be about 1000$. I've found cheaper but its quite a drive and will end up totaling almost the same price with drive time/gas money. So it looks like I'll be attempting to change it myself. There's a great how-to write up that I'll be following. I probably don't know what I'm getting myself into since I've never done anything this extensive on a car before. So wish me luck, I'll be doing it in a month or so.

How mechanically inclined are you? Doing a clutch isn't very difficult, just don't lose anything that you take off. Make sure to be neat and orderly with everything and you will learn and remember much more.
Btw if you don't have a jack you better get in shape to bench press that tranny in there!

Don't know yet, I have a lot of research to do since I don't know much about the different types of clutches.

That's badass, must be pretty cool! I have always wondered though, and this is an honest question, what's it like working on and fixing something that you can't ever drive (or fly in this instance)?
Regarding clutches, with your power level and apparent driving style based on your stock clutch's life, check out the Competition Stage 2 with sprung full-face organic disc. Also, be sure to remove the plastic restrictor pill inside your clutch slave cylinder.

I am at 350 awhp and mainly I just do spirited driving around town. Probably won't be hitting the track again due to repair cost that I can't afford right now. So probably a clutch that would be good for daily use at a decent price.

I got to ride as a passenger once and it was amazing.

Check out the clutch I mentioned, it should be a good fit for you.
