My roadster wtih a stick has 97000 on it and the clutch is fine ..... but I'm such a wimpy, gentle driver that you cant go by MY word.

And adjusting the valves every 20,000 miles? What year is this - 1940?

Brake Pads? I like my Hawk HPS, have them up front and OEMs in back. Less dust and DAMN, they can stop the car from 80mph in a panic with no fading.
