Default new evo IX....greetings

Hi, three weeks ago i bought my first new car and my first mitsubishi.
two things:
Firstly, after 1,100 km, right after the first service, the clutch started slipping. It is now in the dealer garage (after a nasty letter and some phone calls as they tried to blow me off), and its 2-3 weeks to get theparts to repair it. (bearing in mind i am in Hong Kong). does anyone know of any recall on this car for the clutch? or are they prone to this? (ps i have been real careful running it in...i have 26 years of driving experience).

Second: of course i want to do it up....any nods, winks, or shudders on the following:
CCR pads
apex turbo timer
defi gauges
ralli art racing ECU
tabata radiator
Ganador vertex titanium exhaust
Kinetic craftworks manifold and downpipes
and lastly advan RS II wheels.....
heheheheheh.

thanks for youir help and input you knowlegeable chaps you.....

The EVOs clutch is not very strong. However it should still last you till at least 10k miles (not sure bout Km) and that is if you beat the snot out of it. im not sure what the RA ECU is you listed dont think we get that here in the U.S. or maybe its called somthing different. But your EVO NEEDS to be tuned with those mods cause they run rediculously rich stock
