Default I think SlvrBullet did it until he reached 105k? Could be wrong...

Local TTer who has the 180 Stage 3 (not +) is on OEM clutch, with ~100k miles...

Then again, I guess we're talking 225s here. :-D Sorry, head is somewhere else today...

That said, Trent's on his OEM clutch with the Del Rio... you just can't abuse it...

Default That was Qu!cksilva..>>

and yeah...The car was chipped at 10K, Stage 3'd at 75K and didn't get a new clutch until into the 100's. I drove it last at 90K and it was absolutely fine. Marcus drove the car hard to...(but he knew how to drive which is the secret to long lasting clutches)

Default Re: I'm from Madison, Ga (Morgan County).

I hear Charleston is very nice, but I've never been.

I've only seen two TT's up in this part of GA. One coupe and another roadster. Heck, the closest dealership is down on Peachtree Industrial. I don't know how much that deters sales, but I've considered asking the VW dealership in Athens if they can do Audi Maintenance. I know of people who take their Acura's to Honda dealerships. I don't know if the same applies to Audi/VW or not.

Default With my Dahlback 375hp mod my stock clutch slipped on the dyno >>

In 4th gear going for full power read out.
Big turbo needs upgraded clutch.
Don't scrimp $$$
