Talking clutch

I usually rev mine up to like ... 3000-3500 ... then slowly, right before the tires squeel , bring the clutch back ... Then slam it into second , squeel a bit with the rear end of the car kinda sliping towords the right, then when the tires kick back in it'll just rev WAY up to like 7000 RPM ... WOOUFFF !! shivers ! :P

Any ways ... The clutches are REALLY built strong on them ... I LOVE my clutch ! I feel it's perfectly balanced : It gives you a little kickback, although it's still easy and all... Not like hondas: You declutch on them and .. the clutch goes from neutral , to sudden "gearage" :P lol ANY ways, my 0.02 cents :P

Clutch = strong ... ANd . if you **** it up , a clutch kit is like 175$ canadian .. WOOPIE ! :p loll

5-7K is usually good. I let me out pretty quickly, not quite dumping it but with just a little slippage. You don't want to let it slip too much because it'll burn real quick at those RPM's. And don't worry about breaking anythink you're probably more likely to rip the tranny and/or engine off its mounts (and those are cheap and easy to replace) than you are to actually break anything in these cars.
