I know it definitely lessens the lifespan but wondering if anyone that does heavy traffic driving daily could weigh in. I've never driven a car this much in traffic in my life and haven't kept around a manual car long enough to warrant a clutch replacement.
Reason I ask is because I've seen premature clutch wear on new Si's from quite a few posts and yet some people manage to bust out 30-60k some with FBO and still be ok. Even though I'm untuned now I always make sure to
I'm already approaching 16k miles after 8mo of ownership and 4-5 of those months included about 50 miles of day with a lot of that commute in bumper to bumper traffic. NYC traffic is a bit different from most parts of the country (besides cali maybe) as you gotta be fairly aggressive to avoid being cut off which I'm sure wears my clutch down a bit more.
Since I'm planning to tune very soon and also go catless again I'm wondering if there is a higher probability my clutch will start slipping earlier because of the nature of my driving, I want to try and get a decent amount of miles with stuck clutch/boltons before clutch replacement if possible (hopefully another 15-20k).
