Hey guys, so ive noticed that my drift e30's clutch has been slipping a bit, and i think i needs a new one. However, it's not driven hardly at all on the street. Only to and from the track, and to test something when necessary (stripped interior,roll cage, racing seats, no hvac/heat/you get the picture). How am i supposed to break in a new clutch if i don't drive 500 street miles all season? How do the formula D guys do it? I would greatly appreciate a response. Thanks

your car is a street car; its not trailer-ed to drift; if it has plates and can be legally (somewhat) driven on the street it is = street car.
when you purchase a brand new manual transmission car the manufacturer does not specify any break in for the clutch.
install clutch; go drifting.
unless you have some special clutch with special instructions from its makerOBD1 M54/M52TU swap as a M50b25

Just like you would bed brakes-
get up to 5th speed using a lot of throttle on shifts and letting it slip a bit to get some heat into it,
then let it cool down.
Do that a few times.
Call it good.
Honestly, I never had any troubles with the race car, you just didn't want to really
abuse it (lots of flat shifting or dumb stuff like that) for the first few weekends.
Have you tried a racing (high metallic) disc? They bite better and are less prone to
glaze if they get warm.
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
