ok, sometimes when I take off from a stop...and every once in a while when I'm stoping I here a pretty adudible clunk, I also feel it in the clutch pedal. But what really bothers me is 80% of the time when I'm costing with the clutch in it's a constant clunking...the faster I'm costing the faster the clucking. But when I aply the brakes it stops. The more I analize it, the more it seems like it the drivers side axel...is that reasaonable? If that's the problem should I just replace both with some upgraded ones? If so wheres a good place to find those? everything seems tight and no noticeable handling problems either. Any input, as always, is greatly apreciated.

bump...
Now that I've had time to search a bit...I've learned that it could be the motor mounts to. I did recently change my timing belt and for got to loosen the front one before I started jacking the engine. might be time for XtremeRS's solid front motor mount.

Get under the car and check your CV boots. I had the clunk when starting out sometimes and I had a torn boot, so check that ASAP or the car could leave you stranded..
I edited to the wiki!

NOT SO DUMB!
That's what the problem was, front drivers side. When the problem first started happening that was one of the first things I thought of...but I only checked the front passenger side, because that's the only one I most recently had off (for the timing belt). The others I haven't touched in a couple of months. I've never had lug nuts come lose like that before So I checked the rest of the wheels and was able to torque a few more down also. So I guess I'm going to have to keep a closer eye on those, with the wheels I currently have.
Anyway just thought I would post the resolution for future people to search
