Beedub, does your rattle noise get a little bit louder when you're engaging the clutch in first? Mine is noticeable at idle and the car sounds a bit more like a diesel when engaging due to it increasing a bit, but of course it quickly disappears at anything close to a normal driving RPM. I am certainly not lugging the engine, but I think the additional load on it exacerbates the phenomenon I described above which I suspect is responsible for the idle rattle. If that is correct then it is normal operation.
Crank pulley was overnighted yesterday or the day before and was supposed to arrive by 10AM at the tuner's place today. So, I am supposed to have the car back TODAY!
The shop did quote me $300, so I'm not sure how that will work out, but I don't mind paying for it now under the assumption that ESS intends to reimburse me (that was my implicit understanding).
