I did a 3rd gear pull on the highway on my way home from work today because some VW thought he was cool, and wanted to do a ricer flyby. So he passed me doing prbly about 90-100mph not long after passing me i passed him and blew the paint off his green piece. on decel i noticed some whine, but noticed more clunk at part throttle.... sounds like its coming from the the rear. Maybe the U-joints or the rear end somewhere? uuuhhhh its always something isn't it... dam DSM's!

Does your car still have a 3-bolt? Could be the rear going out.

Have you figured out what the clunk is yet?

you might need to fill the drive shaft carrier bearings with silicone

clunk is probably the carrier bearings. 3 bolts don't typically wear out anyway, the axles go snap when you launch.
