i knew those damn evos were nothing but trouble to begin with.
WRX's are the way to go.
at least its not the rotors in the motor rusting or the piston return springs. can you imagne if that was to hapen!

Dude, you sound like a bunch of jealous school children.
It is clearly obvious to me why the Evo is rusting where it is. The JDM car does not get the bumper beam (5MPH). In an adaptation to conform to US DOT standards, they had to add that pig of a bumper beam to the Evo. It appears that they clearly did not plan it out properly, and that the piece is being bolted on there before it has cured. The above stated cause, coupled with "bi-metalic corrosion" is what is causing then to rust so quickly.
A wire brush, piece of sandpaper, and some rust-o-leum primer will fix that promlem in about 2 seconds. Top the forestated combonation with some silver touch-up paint, and you are as good as new.
Take it from me, a Navy man...corrosion protection is one of our primary jobs...unfortunately! lol! I freaking hate chiping and painting the damn ships...
Peace!

[rant]Another thing that pisses me off is...everybody is complaining about trivial isht on the evo...clutch smoking, noisy transmissions...dude, Evos have always been known to have ishty stock clutches. If your clutch burns out, go with the exeedy twin! It isn't a bimmer, so you are going to get some noises. Stop acting like a bunch of picky Americans, and start portraying people that have the "Need For Speed". Mitsu gave the US a car that really kicks ****...I freaking love the Evo, and will be purchasing one very soon...
All that I have to tell them is look at Subaru's with our glass transmissions. Now there is an issue to complain about...it really chaps my hide to see people making a car look so bad over something so miniscule...[/rant]
