I think you should see 60k no prob. That is if you know how to drive a stick and don't drag every weekend. I have 20,xxx miles on mine with no problem.
I don't consider my driving style hard or anything but I def don't just putt around town or anything. I think if you will launch your car occasionaly it seems to smooth out the clutch action in these cars. If mine seems to be a little notchy going into second somtimes I will launch her and it seems to smooth out this transmisions feel. My car is an '05 btw.

Nearly at 66K miles on stock oem clutch. Daily driven with less frequent drag strip runs. 2004 coupe.

I have the RPS clutch and flywheel waiting in the wings. Until then i plan to ride this clutch out till its dead.

I replaced my clutch and flywheel ~50k when the tranny went. The clutch was still ok at the time but I doubt it would have lasted much longer.

True My old turdo Type R Integra and my supercharged VW R32 both reached over 100K miles and never a clutch replacement. Yes I drove the $hit out of them! I have 20K on my G and I like this car much more....man would I be upset if it went out before 60k.....

The R32 is a sweet ride, did you have any issues with the syncros?

70K and clutch grabs as hard as it ever did... It's all about not slipping it, just let the ***** flipper out and don't ride it, if you don't rev high, you will get smooth take off without jerking (many people ride the clutch cause' it's a less jerky ride, but you can do it without slipping that clutch). Basically the clutch will last a very long time if your skills are good... My C5 Vette had 110K when I changed the clutch... I had a 90 Supra with over 100K before I changed that clutch.

Also, I have launched my car many many times real hard so don't be fooled into thinking you have to baby a manual to make the clutch last. Drivers that don't get at least 50K out of a clutch are not driving properly... yes, I said it; unless your tracking the car, if you kill your clutch soon, it's your fault.

NOTE: There are rare exceptions where there are defective parts and the clutch fails prematurely; however, like I said, these times are rare.

Driving condition plays a big roll in how long the clutch last as well. If most of the 50k miles is in stop and go traffic where you have no choice but to slip it a little all the time. Going from 0 to 10 MPH to 0 again. You can't control that. Mine went out somewhere in the mid 40k and that was my driving situation most of those mileage.
