    Hello guys! Sorry. I'm a pony owner and this is my first import car. Feels weird being in a tuner forum. But anyways! I've been bored lately and looked for a car to work on. I found an 02 OZ Rally Lancer for $800. 5 speed and I drove it, it seemed good. There's a "knocking" like or "clicking" noise on the engine, close to the driver side but its not super loud like it threw a bearing. My car's engine threw a bearing once too but that one was loud, this one isn't really. It's more apparent when you rev the engine and let go. As the rpms go down, the noise is there going down with it. On idle I can't really tell its there unless I listen really closely. I just wanna know if that's usual to these engines.
    Last but not the least, based on the attached pictures, I wanna know if the car is worth the money. I think I can get it for $450 though.
