and why the hell would u use new bolts everytime?

Because they are subjected to alot of heat and stress therefore become fatigued. Rule of the thumb is always use new bolts. I dont know about you but I dont want my feet being taken off by a flywheel. Yes they are capable of this. Think about it, a fair few kilos of mass (plus clutch) spinning at multiple thousand rpm. Just think of what the bolts go through on a hard launch! I would be making sure that thing is clamped down hard and secure. So in saying that I would also advise new bolts with a medium strength thread locker.

But thats just me. :)
