ok, so i was driving through some of my usual twisties like i usualy do when im bored, and i floored it coming out of one of the turns. just after i let off of the gas, the engine starts making a LOUD clacking sound ( kinda like a machine gun).
i know noone can give me a for-sure without pulling it apart, but can anyone give me any ideas one what happened? or at least best and worts case scenarios? or how much $$$ im looking at for repair?

 

Was there just a noise, or was performane affected?

 

i don't know about noise but it a nice one hander.

 

no affect in performance that i can tell, but i'm kinda afraid to really open it up to really see... thanks on the one hander.... check out www.geocities.com/thre3maf for TONS of more/recent/better pics from the whole three333 team...

 

HMMMMMMMMM sounds like a rod bearing to me, you might have spun the rod bearing, but i dunno, to fix that its gonna be big bucks

 

yeah, the baby spine. But I can't even do that......fell hard on my *** trying to land on rear wheel(on a double) Fun idea, but requires alot of clown skills. the rocks were not a big plus either. My *** looked like something puffy and black.
PS Nice break job.

 

hehe - well i'm probably not right on this - but mine did this to me the other day

you don't want to know what it was...

wheel nuts were loose - tightened them up with out the wheel brace - what a **** of a day that was

 

I'm not a mechanic or anything but my best guess.... A CV joint? I had that problem with one of my other cars, it happened after hitting a bump in the road on a corner.

 

would need to hear it, but do not hesitate to tow it to a certiefied mechnic for diagnostics...

 

Try doing a simple test..got to a parking lot..and make a sharp left turn..no need to do peel outs or anything..if you cv joint is craked..you will hear it..

Also..if the clanking noise..is really that loud..pop the hood..something might be hitting something!
