I auto-x maybe 8 times a summer, and drag occasionally. I have veery mild power mods. I was under the assumption the sti was well built. I am disappointed it hasn't held up very well at all. CLutch is fine for daily driving, but cant be doesnt like aggressive starts.

That sucks man. You must have a rare case, because I have ~30 drag passes on my stock driveline with no issues. My clutch slipped once at the strip in the 90° weather, but that was it.

Thats what Im sayin, the clutch isnt too bad at all. I just dont get the diff, I have friends with Gt30rs without problems. Im still stock turbo, IC, injectors, etc.

Maybe its not as bad as I thought, it doesnt make any noises, and seems to operate properly. Maybe I should change the fluid again soon and see what I see then. Who knows.
