07 clutch burning? driver or design?

[Nimble]

Don't blame yourself, I've driven 100+ different manaul tranny cars with never a problem, including many many supercars with stiff, low, grabby clutches. And with that said, the Yaris is by FAR the worst clutch, throttle response combo. That's the problem, the lame ass DBW has no throttle response, and it CHANGES. It's never the same, the car has no tach so I cannot see where I'm starting from rpm wise, it has a quiet motor, so with the music on, I can't hear it enough to start smooth, the motor likes to bog on its own (frustrating), and the clutch is floppy, and light, and all too easy to burn on a hill.

If I could snap my fingers and have something differnet about the car, I'd take traditional throttle cable, a stiffer clutch, and a tach. I'm working on the tach thing, and someday I'm throwing this 1nz motor in a river and putting in 00 Celica GTS motor, fuk it.

I put in a Afe cold air intake and it transformed it into a different car..its much more powerful...your car is starving for more air like mine was..if your bogging down..you either are not cleaning the injectors on a regular basis or using cheap gas...mine runs best on sunoco 91.. or your catylitic converter is getting clogged.. ...mine is really fast now and still gets 40+ MPG.. good luck
