What does the noise sound like?

 

[jarhead293]

it sounds like 2 pieces of steel clashing, like 1 big thump when i take off or if i let the clutch go real quick.

When you let off the clutch quickly do your tires spin? The bumping might just be wheel hop. As for the steel clashing together, that might be your exhaust hitting the shield underneath the car. Does it sound like it's coming directly from under the hood? A quick way to check the motor mounts is to have someone gas the car (in neutral of course) while you watch the engine. If it really moves around then you have a motor mount problem.

If it is a clunk when starting and stopping, possibly the front mount is torn. Take it iff any look. It is a PIA, but is pretty much 2 nuts to the frame, 1 bolt through the mount. pop it out and look. If torn, it is an excuse for an AWR mount, which is part of a GB right now.
