That's what noise part of my engine makes when i'm in reverse or when i let off the clutch quite sharp...it's pretty violent actually

Engine mount?

[Khare]

could well be. My gearbox mount is fooked so when i reverse or when i used engine braking agressively, gearbox hits the inner wing and makes a clunk sound. Stick handbrake on, get a mate to do reverse with handbrake on, while you look under the car.

Actually that throws up another Q. What, in the hell, would my exhaust be rattling off under heavy breaking and on start up?

Rear axle is the most common area.

[Khare]

as wayne says. Rear axle is most common but could also be the heatshield along the transmission tunner.

I've eliminated the head shield already 



But now that you say that, it actually only started wence i wound the coils down, darn i hate the noise but adore the lowes

[Khare]

if it only started when u wond coilies down then its rear axle. VERY common problem. Either raise the exhaust up abit with new exhaust hangers/polyutherane ones, reposition the pipe over the rear axle, or raise the car abit.

On mine the clamp was fitted so the nuts were banging the axle beam, turned the clamp over and it was gone.
