Stock Evo 10 clutches suck. Most don’t make it past 20k. Exedy twin will pave the way for the second coming wave of modifications and is a good point to start with. Also, with the new clutch will come the revised Differential pins, which are important to do because they back out and destroy the transmission.

So the clutch is definitely my priority. Also, I found out the car makes 360 on a DJ.

Hey, you got me hooked!

Anyways, I started on a bit of “Weight reduction” today. Not one for extra wiring, I immediately ripped out a few things today.

I removed the hard wired passport radar detector controller, and the ipod hookup. I have no need for either. I am also planning to relocate the wideband into the glovebox and remove completely the boost gauge. I am planning on putting an EMS into the car which will just make the gauge redundant. In addition to that, the gauge placement SUCKS!

I found some nice additions by the PO. A centralized power and centralized ground terminal.

It’s a start…

I like that you start taking apart a perfectly good near new car you just bought. This is why we are BFF \<3

Also bring that shit over!

I’m assuming most people who cant get 20,000 miles out of their stock clutch can’t fucking drive. I drive my car fairly spirited on a daily basis and have put almost 4000 miles on it in less than 3 months and it holds hard. Maybe 2008’s are different because I know a lot of guys swap over to the 8/9 clutch master cylinder though. I’ve heard of the diff pin issue but I guess they upgraded it for 2011’s or something.

Ps White Evo X’s are gay and buy the exedy triple, you won’t!

Exedy twin will do my car plenty of justice.

Anyways, took off the dead weight on the truck known as the “wing”. I put stainless steel carriage bolts in the holes place to make things look fresh.

That looks good wing less.

Also,

20,000 out of the stock clutch?!  
I’d be pissed.
