    If you can be bothered doing heel and toe to use engine braking, I presume that's better than just letting out the clutch fully when gearing down I suppose. But different times calls for different techniques used.
    Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

    I am with you - but I think even if Pumz was slipping the clutch at high rpm I don't think it should have burnt so easily. There are plenty of crappy manual drivers out there who slip all the time and rest their foot on the clutch pedal day in day out. I would be very dissapointed if my clutch went on the Euro - even if I did what Pumz did.

    *ECU-MAN EDIT* i wasn't too sure if my second gear was totally in or what.. All i know is that when i dumped the second gear in it was hovering at 3500-4000 rpm and staying at that rpm till i took the accelerator off.. By then the burnt plastic smell of the burnt clutch could be smelt...

    Geez. Are you sure you don't have to go back to driving school?
    From what you said, I think you should before you burn out the new clutch again.

    Makes me wonder too.. but I've had the car on a good workout and it is still going strong.. Maybe you really did left your foot on the clutch?

    Been on a few track days, the clutch felt fine afterwards.

    Maybe you got a dodgy clutch or it was incorrectly installed at the assembly line.

    Don't know but watever the deal is the second clutch is now fine and i don't have any problems with it.. done more then 7000 km on this clutch and it still feels good but i just don't turn my VSA off just in case....

    Could be that the first clutch was dodgy don't know... Honda rectified it anyways....

    Hey baboo when going for track days did u find that ur brakes faded easily afterwards?? I have to put a lot of brake force now because i find that its harder for me to stop with 19inch alloys...

    As many Euro owners will know, the Euro brake fade easily.

    The cheapest option is to get better brake pads and brake fluid.
