Grinding SC? UPDATE*****
2001 Saleen SC
Last issue I had was with a very rough idle which ended up being a bad IAC valve. Well yesterdayI start getting a very pleasant (sarcasm!) grinding noise from under the hood which appears to be coming from inside the sc.
Please check out this short video and give me your thoughts.
I feel sick......lol

RE: Grinding SC?
Need a better vid, sounds like there's an exhaust leak. Take your camera and slowly move towards the SC and around it.
More importantly, are you still getting the same amount of boost?
My Saleen SC built in '05 has always been a little grindy.

RE: Grinding SC?
Had the car towed to Lamotta Performance in Longwood yesterday. They looked at it this morning and the supercharger is hosed. They have never seen a Saleen sc go bad. The internal parts were torn to shiznit.
I was hoping it was the engine internals as the motor blew 3 weeks after I purchased the vehicle. Black's Automotive took care of me and had the engine replaced WITH a warranty.
Now I am left with a broken down carand a broken down checking account thanks to the lovely IRS. What the F do I do now?!!??!
And yes beer good. It's 10AM and I could go for a few right now.
