well, that depends. the boosted ones dont last too long. the na ones last long. and the na carbed ones last forever.

hell mine has about 180k miles on a stock engine and get over 100psi all accross the board.

you just have to drive em hard, and take care of them.

the slave cylinders are a bitch to take out, well for my fluffy hands. you should just replace the rubber clutch line with a corksport SS line the pedal will feel nicer

Ha, Hondas don't break connecting rods if they aren't boosted. RX7's don't last when they're boosted, sounds pretty similar to me. This may sound stupid but... have you tried bleeding the clutch?
