Mine has about 20k miles on it and it squeals when its cold. I like it and all, but am looking to go with something a little lighter (I dont drag race)

Its my daily driver rain or shine. Its not as agressive as people think and the engagement is sharp, and positive feeling. The clutch is slippable with RPM to get you through traffic, and up steep inclines, but I dont like to slip it at all. I usually do a blip of the gas, a get off the clutch fast when starting off from a stnad still. Also it doesnt like excessive slipping. Too much heat in it and it will explode.....I know this from experience. If you want I can tell you a lot more over AIM if you want to im me about it.

I have one same situation though my car is not my DD and i too would like something a little nicer for the street. I also have the squeal when its cold but once it heats up it drives fine and grabs great, has no chatter at all, I think I am going with a stage 3 hybrid with a light weight pressure plate to go with the aluminum flywheel I have.

They kind of changed them now, I heard that they dont have the hybrids anymore its the PLUS that they have now and something else changed about the pressure plate
