I use mobil 1 0w-30 full synthetic. No track time with this. I use it as purely a DD. But, I think it will survive track pretty well.

Maybe. Or I'll just drive around 2 modded cars. lol
With a boosted frs, there is the joy of catching people off guard, which adds to the fun factor.
With the evo, everyone expects you to be fast by default. lol

Might I ask what your clutch experience was, and if you ran the stocker how long did it last while boosted?

Next goal, 200k miles!!!

85k and an intake valve broke, guess I am just unlucky.

I ran stock, but switch to an excedy stage 2 before they had an update. Miserable experience. I switched back to to the stock clutch and have been running it for a year now. Holds the 250wtq well.

That's good to hear! Been on the stocker myself for a year now, running just a bit more power than you are. It definitely is losing it's bite but I'm hoping to get another six months out of it. A lot of people had bad luck with the 1st Stage 2 design from Exedy. When the time comes I'm going with Exedy Stage 1. Never heard a complaint, I spoke with Toan @ PTuning and he told me he put down almost 290 wtq on the Stage 1.

People who aren't on E85 are just missing out.

Any details ok kit running? hp/tq? Tune and fuel? Mods?

Yea I'd be interested to see what mods/tune caused that too. So many variables at play when you go aftermarket HP, any little thing can cause a failure.

I'd consider an intake valve failure to be a freak accident that is independent of mods (assuming there are no valvetrain mods and stock rev limiter).
