as long as a piece of string. depends how much grief you give them and whether they can handle the power you're running. mine was fine in my wr1 when I sold it with 28k on the clock. I know some people have done more than that with them still fine, and some done less and changed them.

If you drive like Poesy budget for 2 a year :rofl:

My previous STI did 65000 on the same clutch no slipping.

Current one has done 34000 and still going strong even with uprated power levels.

If you launch your car hard - expect to go through clutches very quickly.

Not usually, get it moving and then boot it a lá usual 4WD launch technique

Get traction and then boot it is my usual driving style. We still had to change the clutch at 26k miles.
