Rattle at the front right portion of the interior,
I hear that grinding noise when downshifting..
Also, turn the radio off and depress the clutch when stopped.When you push it in and out, you hear the "throwout bearing" or something..
Whatever. My first service will be a long one because I will have plenty to have them check..
I think the car is fun as ****
Glad I got it!! I have 800 miles on it already!

Worry about front LSD when you actually push the car past it's limit and find you need one. For about 95% of the people out there this will never happen. Same with the ACD.
1) If your Xenons are turning yellow either your color blind or they're going bad. In which case you buy new ones. What do you mean nothing you can do about it? FYI they don't turn yellow. I've never seen this nor heard of this happening.
5) Why would you want less power(unless that's to the wheels which will happen with ECU management) and last year had recaros as well. Why would you want a less efficient smaller IC that would have to be replaced if you ever upgraded your turbo anyway?

1) I'll get you pics next to a subaur wrx with xenons. Yellowish for xenon. Not white. It's white when turn on and then change colors. Not entirely yellow like regular light but much more yellow than this WRX's Xenons.
5) You misunderstood me. I was just saying what i predicted a year ago before the evo 8 release.

No Front LSD and/or ACD
Every other annoyances I've already anticipated to fix to my liking. Such as.
1. Outside temp, with auto dim mirrors.
2. Better speakers "no paper speakers" and a much better headunit worthy of a japanese car.
3. No boost guage or EGT guage.
Stuff i cant do anything about,
1. Xenons color change from white to as yellow as my regular lights.
2. No ACD or AYC if i wanted one.
3. No titanium turbo. "Nice to have faster spool up to decrease lag"
4. No factory cruse control.
The car was more than i expected though.
I was orginally thinking 265 hp with ACD last year with no recaro and small FMIC.

1a) never had a car with these features, so I probably won't miss them
2a) all stock audio systems sound like junk except the Mark Levinson stuff in the high end Lexus
3a) very few FI cars have boost gauges "stock" which has always confused me... but, I'm not surprised the Evo doesn't have one....
1b) no opinion here
2b) won't miss them... the lack of these artificial aids makes me want the Evo more. many awd cars have a disconnected feel that makes me miss rwd.... (mainly S4 & GTO) the lack of a front LSD is disappointing though.. I guess I can always get an aftermarket one....
3b) yes, this would have been sweet
4b) my dealer said they could install one for under $250 the day my car comes in, or any decent stereo shop can do it - and it would look pretty much 100% stock (same part that the factory would install)
