100k mile OEM clutch {pix} Yeap. Car went 12.2's @ 113 on this clutch and bald nittos. 1000 miles later, took her back to the track on nittos again for the second time in her life at 102,000 miles, and not only did we fubar the clutch we blewup the differential. So with the differential whineing so badly, we decided we might as well buy and install a new 12 bolt.
Took her 5 feet out of the garage by slipping the clutch, then pulled her forward and I fully disengaged the clutch... the noise was a horrible metal on metal noise. Tried it in 2nd gear and the same thing happened. Put her back in the garage backwards and started on the pulling process for the clutch.
I hope this fixes it...
Do these pictures look normal to you guys?? I think my car deserves the pat for having the clutch hold when she still looked like this.

lol
i'm sure the 10bolt was on its way out anyway. If only spec 3s could last half that amount of time.

The funny thing is, as long as I don't powershift my clutch, it STILL grabs decently. It doesn't do worth a **** at the track but around town, it still grabs pretty good. Still replacing it before the spring but 107k miles and still grabbing definitely deserves props.

Definately amazing stuff. Be sure and get pix of yours when you pull it. I'd love to compare
