Must be normal since the same thing happened to me--I think you had commented on my FB post about it. My clutch still had plenty of life in it but I decided to get a new one in and broken in before adding power.

A poor choice of words, perhaps. My experience has been that cars start becoming annoying (maintenance needs) at 60k miles and up. I'm just hoping to get everything done while the car is new enough to have 50k of trouble-free fun.

Yea I wouldn't call old cars a project necessarily, so yea I guess we chose the wrong words. A project would be our Evo builds. You pretty much summed it up lomker.
