My wallet...j/k

This is my 2nd Evo, 3rd Mitsu and the only problem that I had is the brake caliper peel 03VIII and the warranty, I just traded the car since they don't want to fix it.

The only thing broke in my Evo is the Driver's side wallet. I also have an intermittent broken passenger that whines about going too fast in turns and such (this makes a loud schreeking noise (sounds like screaming then followed by a SLAP!).

Darn you Jhero23 , you beat me to it while I was afk lol

26,000 miles....

Broken: nothing

Worn: Calipers peeling (under warrenty), windshield has a tiny crack (insurance is going to cover it), the driver's seat fabric (suede) looking a little faded; any ideas how to restore

Concerns: only one.... at idle i hear a little rattle (not interior), when i push the clutch the rattle goes away (any ideas)

she still runs strong

That would be the throw out bearing. Not really a cause of concern, just replace it whenever you replace the clutch. Mine has done the same thing since it had 5 miles on odometer.

My wife's heart. She says I love my Evo more than her and that I still don't listen to what she says and blah, blah. I only caught what she said about the EVO.

6700 miles and no problems!

It shouldn't be a throw out bearing as that bearing doesn't doesn't see any load unless the clutch is depressed., but most likely just normal gear noise which is very common on the Evo's 5sp transmission. Again, no cause for concern.
