He should just buy a car lot and have it stocked with different cars and drive them as he pleases.

LOL...Thanks! Actually, that's Zpirates car. We started puting on stainless brake lines on saturday and boogered a short brake hardline off the rear caliper due to the Gorilla assembly torques used by Nissan. Only an $8 part, but needless to say his car got stranded on my lift. He'll be doing a DIY on this with what we learned. Mine should be a piece of cake this weekend after all that! I did buy another car though...2003 Golf GTI 20th anniversary model..11K miles on it...couldn't resist! One can never have too many Blue cars....:-)

to the OP- you got to suck REAL BAD inorder to have to replace the clutch in a few thousand miles.... the clutch can take quite a beating in general.

Does anyone have a price for clutch replacement? I do my own work so I save on labor; thus I am curious.

I was forced to learn due to:

1. My allowance per day when I was in college was $1.00 per day. This allowance lasted for 3 years.
2. The dealer for my other car wanted about $1,000 for semi-major tune up. $2,000 per year was way too much

. My point is if you could.... Learn and save throughout your life

on the MkIV. I cut my teeth in old 16V GTI's, so I had a pompus attitude towards MkIV's for awhile, until I drove a 20th. Awesome cars.

My old RSX-S Turboed with 35k miles and no clutch issues. Some folks should just go auto.

no i meant a few thousand miles earlier than if you hadn't learned on the car.

With all of the above sentiments in mind and how much of a beating the clutch can take... how many of you guys would actually be willing to teach someone to drive stick on your Z?
