Stage 2 street clutch break in?

Got a 1998 honda civic EX coupe that came with a new clutch that just needed to be installed. I researched the clutch and found out that the new clutch is a stage 2 XTC street clutch. After I had it installed (by a mechanic of course) he said that the new clutch will ride a little rough until you break it in. I know that the manufacturer suggests a 500-mile break-in, but the car sputters a bit at take off unless I get the rpms to between 3-4k. Even then its a bit hard. The mechanic did warn me that for break in time would be a little sensitive and to take it easy because the new clutch is a 6-finger plate. My only question is this: "Is it true that because of the nature of this clutch and its design/ purpose that my take offs are a little cumbersome and rocky and that it will ease up after the break in period is finished? OR has my clutch been installed improperly and need further servicing? I'm afraid to drive it too extensively for fear of causing further damage."

Is wrx sti a good car to buy?

I'm in market for a new car. I like 2015 subaru sti. I do alot of uphill driving is it a good choice since its a 4 cylinder? I currently drive a honda civic and it has very hard time maintaining a speed limit while gong uphill. Should i get sti or a 6 cylinder car will be a better choice?

How to make my Honda fast?

In getting a Honda civic 95 two door. Pretty soon I want to make it fast and look good but I don't want to look like a ricer(if anyone knows what that is) . What tune ups can I do to it and good cheap aftermarket parts should I get.
I'm not familiar with cars a whole bunch so kind of dumb it down a little lol.

First car for college student?

At first my heart was set on the 2011 Mustang v6 but insurance quotes quickly changed my mind also the amount of gas I'd go through…
So I'm now considering these cars in this order: 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer (mpg 24-33), 2006 Honda Civic (mpg 26-34), and the 2012 Hyundai Veloster (mpg 27-37). Also maybe a VW golf…
I'm going to be commuting to college about 15 miles one way. I would like something a bit sporty but with enough room for a road trip or a beach party. If you know any other cars to consider I'd love to hear them. I'm not really looking at any cars under 24 mpg. Also I'm going to be borrowing money from a family member whose getting it from a bank and the cheaper the car the quicker I'd pay it off. But I can't see myself driving a civic. Its something about only seeing old lady's driving them that makes me cringe. Also the notorious Honda ricers which means I won't be able to "customize" my car a little without being a ricer.

What is causing my 2005 Honda Civic to overheat?

I checked my radiator and coolant reservoir and it is not empty of antifreeze. There are spots around the reservoir and radiator where it appears to have coolant dry up from a leak. This might have oozed out a little when the coolant bubbles up when the engine heats up. If I do have a tiny leak, I don't know how to test to find where it could be. I also bought a new radiator cap and also a new reservoir cap thinking that it would stop the leak if the source is from the top of the radiator and reservoir. I also had the thermostat replaced; however, the problem still remains.

I noticed that the temperature spikes up after 40 + minutes of driving. The temperature is fine when I'm on the highway but the temperature begins to climb as soon as I reach the streets or during stop-and-go traffic. My fan is working fine so I doubt that is what is causing my temperature to rise. I also don't feel anything different from the way the engine runs. I'm not losing power or anything malicious like that.
