Smoking the clutch
Just got the car last week, 54K on the odo. Decided to light the tires up with traction control off. Started to smoke the clutch and not the tires. The rest of the time there is no problem. I foresee a clutch replacement in the future.

,,yea,,Ide say that you need a new clutch. You might try to change the clutch fluid but, Ide say,,,,its clutch time.
I had a headers and a vararam with 50K on the clock and mine didnt have any issues. The second I added heads and cam and a FAST90/90, SMOKE CITY!

Sometimes they will surprise you. At an autocross with my 97 the first 4 times I ran the clutch slipped badly on the start. The next 6 times it was fine. I never did replace the clutch.
