Clutches - Who has the Highest mileage?
Inspired by this thread, as Impreza clutches seems to have a reputation for not lasting very long, I thought I'd start a new thread to see who has managed to get the highest mileage from a clutch.
I'll start with my 1997 Turbo 2000 with 107,000 miles, still on the original clutch.

As I said in the other thread,98 turbo 2000,123,000 miles.....
It was mapped from standard (218bhp) to 278 with similar torque at 109,000
I must admit it never gets side stepped,ridden etc,always rolling before giving it the beans!

Has the mk1 1.6 GL got a tougher clutch ? 
Mines a standard MY2000 turbo, all original except for uprated brakes and suspension.
Oil, water, fuel pumps, exhaust etc are all 23 years old.

That's because you don't keep them long enough. My MGB has had 2 clutches. One just after my dad bought it in 1980. I bought it from him in 1983 and it had another clutch a couple of years ago when I rebuilt the engine.

I’ve never had to change a clutch yet in any scooby I have owned , and that’s quite a few scoobies , the scooby as it’s a 2.5 lump when it’s been out for a re build at 93 k , I got the clutch done too as a sensible way to do things , but it still had lots of life in it 👍😂 , the only exception to clutch change was my monaro , it was upped by 100 bhp on a n/a engine and clutch was upgraded to take the power as old one was not coping well 👍😂
