so i bought a subaru wrx i believe it is a 2014 make so ever time i start it up and start driving or sitting at a stop sign or red light it makes a raddling sound i get out open the hood checked the engine it seems to be coming from there as its a pretty bad sound, i only had this car for a few weeks the miles on it is 40000 this sound didnt happen untill a asshole was running stop signs and turning on red lights (in montreal qc canada your not allowed to turn on red) he hit me pretty decent as it wasnt to bad of damages just a scratch and a mid size dent but after that the next day it started making this sound, i dont want to take it in as they charge alot more then me doing fixes my self so anyone know what it is causing it?, car caused me 2000$ as it was a friends and they didnt really use it much because they use a acura from 2000, i would post a pic but i dont own a cam phone or anything that takes pics plus its dark out so it wouldnt do much.

mods done to the wrx so far:
wide body kit
a sports spoiler
blue and green neon lights
purple type headlights
new taillights
5in sub fitted for the trunk
a custom muffler
50% window tint all around but 10% windsheld tint (got to change this soon).

IT IS A GD IMPORT. problem solved. Also, you bought a new car and don't know what year it is?? Honestly right now you sound like this girl in this video:




All hate aside, we need more information. You need to take it to a certified mechanic and make sure you fix the right parts. Even if you have them do the initial inspection to tell you what is wrong and you do it yourself, that is what you need to do.

Does it sounds like a loose piece, or a broken part of something moving around? Does the rattling fluctuate with the RPM's? Is it a wet rattling or dry rattling? Does it sound like it is plastic, or metal? WE NEED MORE INFO.

not yet im going to see if its the car belts or the water pump if i cant find out what part is causing the noise ill take it to a mechanic,

and @big red riding hood it sounds like metal moving around im going to take it to a mechanic to tell me what is wrong and i asked my friend what year it was its a 2014 the noise only happens when it hits around 25mph to 45mph ever since this accident when i drive at those speed it pops up saying check engine. also had different car with something like this and it was the timing belt so it could also be that.

You really need to work on your grammar, reading that made me cringe.

Anyway you got hit, and didn't call insurance or take your car to a mechanic? Horrible choice to not take it to get looked at, and if you have all of those mods done to your car and you can't fix something like this, then idk what to think. None of those mods would have affected this so including that list was pointless. Just saying.

Also, we need more info. We can't tell what is happening with your car with that description. Hell, for all we know your windows could be messed up, or your engine is about to take a shit. Include more info if you want us to help. Where did you get hit exactly? Is the car driving any differently? Rough idle? Slipping gears?

And above all, you bought a WRX and you don't even know what year it is? I can't stop shaking my head.

Try and find anything that loose in the car.

It literally can be anything.

The muffler claps not tight enough to the time you got hit.

I would take it to someone that knows about cars.

Like a family member. or something.
