Respect to your Keyboard buddy.. Yet again your smashing away at it like some.. Wait for it... Crazy ninja giving Ice to the Eskimos.

And no not doing that speed, if the clutch wasn't slipping then yes probably but it was unfortunately and I had trouble hitting 110.

I cannot recall myself smashing my keyboard at any point in time for many years.
A bit of research would avail you to the fact that 99% of my posts are not serious.

If you want a serious reply - dont belt your car until the clutch is fixed. It will destroy itself. You will find yourself on the side of the road with a clutch plate fused to the flywheel.

Ask me how I know!

Yeh I know man, I had to replace the clutch in my Bugeye I'm just a little peeved that I'm doing it again and it only seems to be Subarus that I have this problem with.. never had this problem with my RX7, R32 or any other car type in the past.

i wouldn't want to own a rotary just reading about them! compare the 7 with the rex surely it can't be that bad right? one of my friends went from a 7 to a rex and could not be happier

bad luck with the clutch man, mines done 195k still good *touchwood*
