Default C-4 Reliability

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have had my ‘89 6 speed since I bought it new a long time ago. After 106,000 miles, yesterday I had to add about half an ounce of clutch fluid, still original clutch.

I've had my 93 for over a year now and I race it pretty frequently (and no I don't tow it) I drove it to Pocono Speedway and raced high-speed for 2 days, drove to Cecil County dragways, raced it all day, countless autocrosses and hopefully Orlando next year for Sebring and it still runs like a champ. If it wasn't for Maryland Winters, it would be my daily driver.
