55k miles on my original clutch, replaced when 4th gear syncro had to be changed under warranty...probably still had another 20k miles to ago.
Power/Torque (Torque being the real clutch killer) grew from 220/225 to 250/260 during it's life and abuse would be around the 7-8 region

Brought 02WRX with 17k on clock, form Subaru who introduced me to the previous owner, Middle age guy who just didnt rag it.
Car in Extreme @20k having clutch/flywheel replaced.
I now realise Scoobies are not built to spin off the lights.

Original clutch lasted to 124,000miles.. was definitly the original..
abuse then was about a 6 and power about 260-270bhp.
Replaced with a Borg and Beck and since put another 40,000miles on it with an abuse of about 8, it has been up the strip about 10times.. but I do have some mechanical sympathy.
oh and power is around 320-350bhp since that clutch went in.

BHPower - 406 BHP
Miles - 30000
Abuse - 6
Pulled out and still OK at 30000 miles. Not all of those miles were at that power, but the last 15000 were quite reasonable.
>400 lbft with 2.5 with 240mm (6 speed) RCMS/AP organic. First plate did 14000 miles and had oil contamination when it was removed and sat in a pool of oil. Second one is at about the same no problems. Heavy clutch pedal but very smooth and progressive, no judder.

Clutch changed at 30k before i got it. it now has 96k on the clock. abuse 5-8 depending on mood. my98 uk turbo 208bhp.
i smell the clutch a lot, especially when driving hard or when it is cold, is this a sign that its on the way out. its not over revving or anything.

MY00 - 3 in 30k miles - major judder from new
Drove 100miles (M3, M25, A1M) each way per day for 9 months
Then had a JDM MY95 for 30k never replaced the clutch, but it was on it's way out at the end
Not a hard driver, just 'press on' when safe
