I just can't imagine what this guy was doing to blow his at 700... I drive my cars hard and have never had to replace a clutch for any reason other than to hold upgraded horsepower. Not even on cars I've had for 10 years+. Really hoping this isn't some cheap clutch on these cars.

Mine also feels like this.
I have driven a manual for around 4 years before owning this and never had any issues. Unless I am going downhill I have to give it a blip to around 1.3k-1.5k. Backing up on a hill is the worst though. There is no fucking good way to not ride the clutch.
This clutch also seems very light. Even a little bit of riding or a crappy start and you will smell it.
Am I doing something stupid? or does the Boxer just idle very low? I also found the throttle is not very sensitive for the first .5" or so of travel making it easy to over rev.
