Re: looking at Evo's. Few Questions.

Good point, the number of clutch jobs is a huge indication of whether its been beat on or not.

Jesus, You really have to put a new clutch in everytime you track one? Just going to light or are they that bad on clutches?

Yes, the ~50k street miles caused no wear on the clutches at all

scheides I think is maybe exaggerating a bit on how many clutches he has gone through too, I thought it was closer to 3 or 4, stock when he got it, then the 1st ACT 6 puck, then another disk when you built the motor, and maybe one more?

Right, I put in fresh disks prematurely twice now when I had the trans apart from the engine for other reasons (engine, diff pins).

Also the car was already on its second clutch when I bought it at 20,000 miles.
