For the rattle, you're probably sol. I fixed it once by getting a piece of crap out with a magnet, but the next time it happened I could not get rid of it to save my life....

Hmm... magnet, I haven't thought of that. I have a pretty powerful magnet I might try to see if it will make it stop..

The rattle bothers me more than the whine. Is there a TSB out for the whine?

I plan to give the FR-S/BRZ some seat time when it makes it to dealerships. I know its no 5.0, or 400hp beast.. But I think it could be a fun little car. All depends how the 200hp feels at 2700lbs.

I don't think there's a tsb, but it's a "known issue" like 5th gear. I think it was all the ecus with a PN ending with an A are bad....they should note it as pre-existing and take care of you

I'll be traveling again for this next meet, but I swear I still have that clutch spring for ya.

Parkerman · 01-11-2012, 10:05 PM

Its cool man.

On a side note... I want to fill my driver side door with spray foam to stop this rattling... Its horrible.

Did this just start, or did it always do this?

Red__Zed · 01-11-2012, 10:12 PM

Where's the rattle coming from? Still the top?

No luck with the magnet?

Parkerman · 01-12-2012, 10:13 AM

Its slowly gotten worse over time.

Yep, still at the top... Top rear of the driver side door. Couldn't get the magnet to work.. Might try again though.

Did a search and others have this problem too.

Have you tried swinging the door open and seeing if there's any play up and down compared to the passenger size?

The reason I say this is that I've got a rattle like this on one of my 95 Altimas and it's actually a small plastic bushing on the hinge.

Its inside the door, I can hear the location its coming from.

Thats sucks.

Like something broken off?

Parkerman · 01-12-2012, 07:15 PM

Something is just loose enough to rattle.
