That's a fact.
I also got a couple million miles worth of tires out of that car.
haahahahah

I seriously got 3 sets of rear tires and 1 set of fronts, in less than a year.

Track every wednesday (13.18 best time) and god knows how often I lit 'em up.
That car was fun.
311WHP -- 365FTLB of torque.

 

I'll tell you this if you boost the **** out of it, it lasts about 3 weeks.

 

Here's a trick someone on HAN told me about:

1) Push your clutch in.
2) Put your car in second gear.
3) Keep clutch pushed in.
4) Pull handbrake.
5) Now try to start moving the car normally.

If it doesn't die, you need a new clutch. (clutch slippage 0wnzed y00)

What made you go from that car to your teg if you don't mind me asking?

Does that method work? I remember something about that, but Ive never tried it, and Im not sure if it works like that.

 

lol my friend took his clutch out with 22k miles on but he did it all in one night be a stupid ass driver by trying to go through all of the gears spinning in the rain and he would get to third and it wouldnt be spinning but hed be reving and he would go to 4th and 5th with the same thing and yup he lost his clutch quickly

 

You should replace the clutch at first sign of slippage. Chattering and slipping can cause other problems with your transmission. If the clutch doesn't operate smoothely and firmly replace it/rebuild it without delay. Transmissions/syncros are to darn expensive to replace.

 

sometimes its so hard to drive nicely to your clutch. stop and go traffic sucks...what can i do to make mine lost as long as i can? i usually try to stick it in first and let off the clutch so it just like idles and moves at 2 mph...its hard sometimes though. is it worse to keep pressing and releasing the clutch or just holding it down and then releasing it? (like say i am in traffic, stop and go. should i clutch in, gas, move a little, hold the clutch down til i have to move again in 5-10 seconds, or clutch in, move, clutch in, neutral, clutch in, move, clutch in, neutral, etc) ?

 

In places like the highway during stop and go traffic try following further away from the car in front of you. I would not hold the clutch pedal in because that will probably wear out your release bearing/throw out bearing faster. Thats an expensive bearing to replaces (labor, the part is cheap) Try to plan your driving when your in the type of traffic.

The more you operate your clutch the more the pressure plate flexes the more the clutch slips on the flywheel the more wear it takes.

On my GSR I had the clutch replaced maybe 20k ago. I drive the car quite a bit every year and my new clutch is holding fine despite very enthuastic driving. I treat it right though. I think the guy before me though didn't treat the engine or the clutch right though, which is why my dampener springs on the OEM clutch went to hell.

 

I got 80000km which is about 50000 miles and when i went to the daler to get my squicking steering wheel fixed my buddy who is a head mechanic there told me that my clutch master cilinder is leaking and that he will change it as a warranty claim as well as a clutch, all i have to do is pay $50 for the disk and thats it, it's good to have hookups lol
