In your video, it sounds like the starter is not engaging the flywheel on the first try.I couldn't hear any compression, just the whine of the starter. On the 2nd try, you can hear the compression of the pistons just before it actually starts.

i noticed u have your radar plugged in which could slowly be draining the battery. i mean slowly but still. Since you said you only notice this after a couple of hours that could be the problem. try recharging ur battery over night so u dont have problems with the alternator later..

The night before I took it to the dealer it wouldn't start at all, and when I tried it made an AWFUL sound. It was really ****ed up.
They said this is not normal and the flywheel must have been defective from the factory. Is there any way I could **** up a flywheel ?
Well anyways, the clutch feels soooooooooooooooooooooo different. Like ridiculously different. Maybe that's the way it should have been all along? I don't know.
anyways, I'm glad I got her back.
