you also don't keep an engine in your car long enough to see any problems that might occur as a result of your "never breaking in a clutch"

The Ls/vtec and B20 vtec shared the same clutch that was used, no break in period.. Same with my old clutch setup on my ZC, I used it for lots of miles, no break in, no problem

Sorry but I need more than a bone stock D16a6 in my car to satisfy me. Ever heard of mods? its called making your car faster, oh thats right... you into the Cosmetic portion of cars right? bling bling :P

i like to know that my car pulls HARD in third and forth gears (even with a 250lbs passneger). now that my clutch is broke in (yeah 100miles ) i can say that it ------ pulls hard! even with a O2 CEL and a 'big guy' riding shotgun. think that it needs a little less fuel think i added a little much, not usually a problem just at cruzing speed.... DYNO TIME!!!!
