Is the car lowered at all? My friend's car did this too, turned out his upper control arm was hitting the frame work above it all. Is it a clunk that sounds like a spring popping back into it's perch?

I had installed adj. upper control arms, which were touching the fender aprons. So, the upper control arms were shaved and the fender aprons were modified a bit to clear the arms.
It sounds a lot like a motor mount in the rear of the engine, and the strange thing is upon hard braking it sounds, then whenever I accellerate hard it souds again, like something is really loose, broken, or has excessive play in it.

my rear engine mount bracket was bashing the firewall because the rear engine mount was beat to death. My friends EF has the IM bashing off the firewall. Check to see if anything is hitting yours.

-Are they normally noisy, or is this a part that needs to be replaced?
Anyway, I recently put a remanufacured 5sp from Gearspeed, so it may still be under warranty.
