Default Clutch Question

New clutch fitted 3 weeks ago . I admit i have launched the car 5 times on Santa Pod , But not silly launches now the biting point seems higher than when i had it changed . The car is an MY94 WRX RA . Does the clutch just need re-adjusting or is it knackered already.

Thanks
James

The clutch is self adjusting.
You have simply bedded it in brutally.

The clutch should be run in like an engine!

If the clutch was a good make like Exeedy from API or an AP organic all will be well.

Take it easy a bit!

So should the clutch self adjust or will it stay as it is.

Thanks

It will settle-in, but if a cheap one might have some premature wear after your early running in...
If it doesn't slip then leave alone.

Thanks for your advice mate. No more drag racing for me for a while.

Thanks

No!
Enjoy the car!
Just get a few more normal road miles in there first.
