I am creating this post because I can’t seem to find any help. I have 2005 Subaru Forester X, (non-turbo) with 212000 miles.

Hi, So my Stage 1 Exedy clutch is on the way out now I have upgraded the engine it has a few too many torques for the Exedy... If I go for a 'proper' drive, and use full power, it gets a bit burning clutch smell when I stop :rolleyes: I'm obviously only driving it softly for the time being...

I have not found a clear answer on if this is possible. Only posts saying that its a lot of time and that I should just buy an XT. To that say: I have been looking for a project XT around my area for over a year with no luck so I'm not going to buy a new car. I understand that I will need to...
