I mean that with the least offense possible, but come on man. If I took my sti to the shop with a bunch of power mods on it and a roasted clutch they'd laugh their asses off at me.
It's not that simple. They really didn't investigate the issue properly. Does anyone not read the part about my McLeod that was used as the OEM replacement. It was installed with a dent disc. Left the same hot spots at a much earlier state. It was only diagnosed by physical inspection of the unit. McLeod almost sent it back to me but at the least minute did an additional test on their machine that showed it being damaged. Had SVT actually requested the OEM clutch like they do for others and looked over it good I'd be more inclined to accept their diagnossis. Pictures and a forum post about me taking some passes on an open track day is BS. You tell me this car can't handle a few? It wasn't like I dragged the car from the track right into the dealer.

I wasn't asking them to foot the whole bill. I would have been happy to go half or something. It was just no real effort was made to help a long term customer on top of that I had bunch of other issues with the car. I shouldn't have just focused on the clutch. It was just the straw that broke the camels back for me. It's just been the overall experience of trying to get anything fixed and it being a hassle.
