Finally managed to pinpoint where exactly my noise is coming from. It's not actually coming the engine compartment but instead it's coming from the transmission area.
According to a mechanic, not an uncommon side effect from my new xtreme twin plate race clutch which in itself makes a ton of noise when I press the clutch pedal down (due to the nature of the clutch design, I've been told).
Plus, it's kinda hard to engage 1st gear smoothly, especially when cold. It's soooo sensitive. I think I've seen a "clutch pedal spring mod" or something along those lines mentioned in various threads. Will try to do a search. I'll need to try it out.
