Finally a video of my D1SC with front mount.
Looks and sounds great! Bob

Thanks Bob, you were very instrumental in helping me getting this up and going with a trouble free install.
A quick question for you. Right now the bypass valve is vented to atmosphere and a little louder than I'd like it to be, would adding a filter of some sort to it quiet it down? Would this be the one you reccomend?

A surge system filter probably would help. Getting the noise from the bypass valve out of the engine compartment would also help too. Everything tends to get heard when it is ahead of you. Bob

I took the small procharger filter that comes with the kit and cut the top part of the cone off then clamped it over the valve with 2 hose clamps. It whistles a little, but no where near what it was before. As I said in the other thread about a 50% noise reduction.

Yeah, I'm not sure why it seems so loud on the video, but it's not bad, at least I don't think the whine is that bad.
I got the trans out yesterday and I broke one hub spring completely out of the hub, and it looks like 4 of the 5 remaining springs were snapped as well.
All of the friction surfaces look okay, the flywheel has some gouges in it from the spring getting caught in the middle and beating it up, but there's no signs of it touching the mating surfaces, which is good. The pressure plate looks to be fine as well.
I need to call Mcleod today and see what they say about a replacement disc. I'd like to be able to just get away with a new disc, and not have to get a new pressure plate, but we'll see what happens. It looks like all of their clutch discs are sprung hubs and the one that's a solid hub is listed as for circle track racing, so who knows.

Ordered a new 500 series clutch disc today from Mcleod.... Good people over at Mcleod. Very helpful, and even told me to call up Summit and order it from them to save $20. I mentioned that Summit listed it as backordered till 08/15/11 and the lady laughed and said that's when their next regular shipment would be delivered to them, but if I called Summit, tell them to have it drop shipped directly from Mcleod.
I actually talked back and forth with which disc to go with, another sprung hub or a solid hub and he recommended the sprung hub to avoid chatter. Considering I had a 100 series disc in there since 2001/2002, it's held up pretty well over the years. It still wasn't slipping yet, so going with the 500 series should be fine.
Hopefully I'll be back on the road by next weekend.

Sounds mean man, welcome to the world of F/I. I think you'll find you have a new addiction.
On another note, I would kill to have that lift you have. I just got done laying on my back on the creeper saying the whole time, quit spending money on parts and save for a lift

Verdad Gallardo I love the way it sounds.
People tell me all the time my car is a sleeper. I don't see how when it has a cage in it. It does have two muffler's and looks unassuming enough and sounds that way too.
Alchemist could never hide that sound, but there is something about it that even though it's out in the open that he is blown, that sound just resonates inside your soul letting you know that yes, size does matter.

I've yet to really drive the car for any amount of time, but the sound is definitely growing on me. I think I'm going to quiet down the bypass valve with a filter or by rerouting it, but the whistling/gear sound of the head unit doesn't bother me.
Like stated, it's one of those sounds that isn't obnoxious like a dumped exhaust, but it screams, I'M NOT STOCK.
I did take the car to a car show at Eastwood, and the supercharger sound does turn heads, more so than a long tube/free flowing exhaust sound ever did.
Oh, and the lift was one of the best things I ever bought for the car. I wasn't lucky enough to get a bigger garage, so having the lift allows me to put the car up for the winter and keep the daily driver inside as well as the wife's car.

How are you liking the hood latches? How were they to install and adjust?
I bought a set for my car a year ago but haven't put them on yet because my IC is actually bolted to the stock latch bracket. I need to move everything forward but haven't had the chance.

I drove my car in to work this morning and its night and day difference with the filter covering the blow off valve. No more jet engine sound. The best thing I ever did, let me know the results if you decide to cover yours.
Man I wish my garage was that tall. I would be in heaven.
Congrats on the clean install. I can't wait to do this.

Since my pressure plate won't be delivered till Tuesday, I plan to work on relocating the cruise control box as well as getting a filter for the bypass valve.
You wouldn't by chance happen to have a picture of your setup?
I will crawl under there and see if I can get a good pic of it. I will post it for you.
