I had something similar but, would only happen on cold starts. Ended up being the pressure relief valve failing. Here is a video of the chirp I had... I had someone start the car when it was cold while I had a "mechanics stethoscope" on the valve. Sure enough it was clear as day. I also tried...

Thanks!

So I really don't like the wheels that came with my car when I bought it, just not my style. I'm trying to find a reputable place that sells OEM wheels. I would like to find either some speed 6 wheels or I've been eyeing up the split five spoke wheels from the CX 7. Any suggestions?

Looks good dude!

Hopefully I am posting this in the correct section. I was tired of my current set up for my boost gauge but, I don't really like the idea of drilling holes that will possibly be in a visible area if I ever remove the gauge. Not a fan of pilar mounted gauges. I have looked around a decent amount...

Word! I'm literally just reading through a clutch thread on here now would you suggest doing the rear main while I'm at it, or if it's not broken don't fix it?

This is good info! I just got done driving on some nicely paved, curvey back roads and I think I made my mind up to just fix whatever it is. Fingers crossed that when I get the transmission out of the car the throw out bearing is all grindy. Also a really good way to justify doing a beefier...

That bread trick is awesome! I think I still have a pilot bearing puller? Maybe? I could be wrong but the reason I think it's input shaft is because the noise is there when not pressing the clutch and goes away when the clutch pedal is pressed in. Pedal out in neutral transmission main shaft...

I figured I should probably update this post although it's kind of a no new news update... Took car to transmission shop to see if they could pin point the noise and of course they couldn't, no fault on them, I understand how this stuff goes. They wanted to pull the transmission to further...

I might mess with it more tomorrow, compression seems ok, I mean it is pretty close to the middle of spec... *Shrug* I like that metal pipe, not sure why more testers don't include something like that. I never liked the stupid hose, always seemed cheap.

Ok so I'm starting to question the actual condition of this car based on the fact that I fix one thing and another breaks with in a few days so, I'm back to basics, which I really should have done way before or, in reality had it done before buying the car. I didn't know much about these cars...

Took the car out to warm it up before doing a compression test and noticed the bearing noise is quite a bit quieter when it's not hot but, still there. Checked fluid and it seemed fine. Pretty sure it's the input shaft bearing.

I am pretty sure I will have a brand-new car before I actually get to start modifying this thing. I took it out to get some logs for the tuner and pulled back into my driveway and was just letting the car idle in neutral with the clutch pedal released. I'm playing on my phone and notice that the...

No worries, you got my email if/when you come across that info

Thanks bud! Just hope it helps someone out in the future.

Here is a link to the noise it sounds slightly different from outside, here is the video I came across on YouTube Edit:I know the two videos sound different but the second one was what I was hearing outside of the car....

Good point! I'm pretty confident that this was the noise. When I put my stethoscope on that valve and had my wife start the car it was clear as day. If it does return I will keep this in mind.

So I can be a little, let's say sensitive, yeah that's a good word. Another way of putting it is I like to over think stuff and every now and again it pays off. It all started after I did my HPFP and started staring at fuel pressure. I noticed the pressure would drop at idle sometimes in the...

Car is back on the road! I think I'd do it again but, not any time soon ;) Thanks again @Rokusek!

I think I'll just stand naked over a mirror and send that? You get a bit of everything. But for real @Rokusek, dude I owe you big time! I can send you some belly button lint or old cheese? Never in my life did I image a forum interaction that went like this. You are one hell of a guy for the...
