post up where you got rust and if possible some pics. just wanna see how many of us has rust already, especially if you like to play in snow and rain.

i'll start. i have rust on the rear driver side panel. 2 spots actually. one where a rock chipped the paint off and the other was from me. i was trying to kick snow off from the rear tire well and i guess i chipped some paint off of the little edge there. i put some clear touch up paint on it to try to stop the rust. looks like it worked so far. its been a year.

also mention all areas where you got chips.

 

I DO I DO!!! but only in small rock chipped areas haha

 

i had rust on the frame when i took my rear bumper off to install my jdm rear. no pics but it wasnt exactly comforting on a car with only 25k on it.

 

Apparently that happens alot, almost everyone encounters that problem rust spot when they go to replace their bumper

 

My VIII and my IX both had rust in those spots, but I cleaned the surface rust off and sealed the exposed metal. One less thing to worry about later. The only rust buggin me right now is my exhaust manifold. Might be sending that out to PPI to get cleaned up inside and out.

 

yea the exahsut manifolds will rust up. I'm thinking about getting it ported and coated also. Most of hte tubulars crack anyways, so its a good idea to stick with the stocker

 

No rust that I can see on the body.

 

im glad to see im not the only one who is annoyed with the stock mani rusting up. dont know about anyone else but its an eye sore to me every time i open my hood, will def be sending that out to get coated this winter. other than that no noticable rust so far ::knock on wood::

 

i coated the stock exhaust manifold myself. its pretty good. hasnt flaked off for about 20k miles now. i used cermaic coating from checker auto (kragen, schucks) VHT high heat ceramic. well, it works and of course, i coated it like 10-15 times.

heres a pic. u really cant see the whole thing but...its under the heat shield..obviously
my uncles thought it was gay and ghetto. i thought it was a good idea!

 

por-15 will be your friend in these troubled times

 

whats por-15? i ask because POR is my name. and yes, i am asian.

 

i have a little rust on my roof from chips...


does anybody know our warranty against rust? Havent been to the dealer in a while to ask

 

Had a fairly serious rust problem in my door jams. Apparently the surfaces weren't cleaned appropriately before factory paint was applied. The dirt & contaminants caused rust that eventually came through the paint and clearcoat. The repair/repaint was not covered by Mitsu corporate but the dealer was so embarrased by the poor quality control that they covered it without corporate support.

And I do have a few rock chips that are rusting too.

 

none of you have rust where the trunk rubber bits touch the car?

 

have a littile spotof rust near the gas tank area. will fix it as soon as the rain stops.. other than that I dont have any in plane sight.
