so this morning i'm sitting at a red light, and when it turned green and i pulled out in 1st, this loud "clunk" noise came from the rear of the car 
so i turned the radio off and kept a close ear all day. well, i did quite a bit of driving and didnt hear anything until about an hour ago. i was on a very slight hill, and started pulling out onto the road and the same thing happened again. so once again i listened very closely, and about a half hour later it happened again, fortunately right next to a lime green prelude with altezzas and a trash can muffler. its bad enough that my cars acting up, but to do it in front of some ricers is just plain mean.
now, i have stock gears. the only mods i have are listen in my sig. the only drivetrain mod is my MGW, and ive had that for 3 months, and did the install properly. i highly doubt that is the cause. this only happens when i start moving from a complete stop. the rest of the time the car runs fine. i got under the car on my back and looked for any rubs, anything that might be loose, found nothing. the only possible thing it may be is some things rolling around in the trunk, but ive had that stuff in there for months and ive never heard anything that loud before. ive since taken it out, and im gonna keep listening for this sound. if it never happens again, then look at this as an opportunity for a free tech post. if it turns out to be the stuff in the trunk, i will openly admit to self-ownage, and encourage the mods to change my CT accordingly. i just want some ideas as to what it could be if i do hear it again.
btw: 02 GT, 34.6k, no suspension/drivetrain mods (except MGW shifter) i have an extended warranty (i know, i know) but supposedly the dealer around i got the car from is really good about honoring those, even with slightly modded cars. to the best of my knowledge, the rear axle has never been opened up or worked on. again, the noise was more of a series of clunks than grinding. what could this be?
