OMG are you serious? Have a friend drive while you find the rattle if you're that upset about it. As for the rust, if it's just a spot (I assume?), then file it off, put some touch up paint on (the dealer'd prolly do that for you), and be happy. You've got a perfect Evo, save for some *very* minor cosmetic issues.

"Crappy Q/A" would be if *everyone* had similar little-annoyance issues, which isn't the case.

Anyway.... I digress. I had a faulty water pump. Leaky. Mitsu replaced it under warranty (yes, with all those mods listed below out in the open for all to see) during my 30k service before it became a problem.

I had the service engine soon light on and a rough idol, but the boneheads at the dealership had regualr spark plugs in it. So they replaced them with the platinum plugs for free. My car stalled today and my little warning light on the oil pressure gauge has been coming on. Any ideas what might be wrong, its been about 2500 miles since an oil change and the oil looks fine.
