Whenever I first start to drive my car, while pulling away in first gear, right before I fully release the clutch I hear a loud 'clunk' near my front driver side wheel. Is that normal or should I go to the dealer for a quick check? 14 GSR with 5200 miles.
Ya I think it's the limited slip differential, but I don't really get a clunk either.

Are you 100% sure it's the front? I've had that issue, but it was from the rear and only when it was wet out when I parked, and cold when I was trying to leave. The brakes can freeze to the rotors when it's very cold out, usually it's the e-brake that freezes since it's left on. When the car starts to move the thin layer of ice is broken, that suddenly releases the brakes = clunk. This is not a good thing, it's hard on the braking system.

If it's happening every time you park, you can rule this out by applying the brakes while still moving. So stop a little short (a foot or two) of where you want to park, then while braking (NOT hard braking, just enough that you feel resistance) apply enough power to get you into the spot. This squeezes any water out and prevents that from happening.

If this turns out to be the issue, make sure you do it every time. Releasing the frozen brakes by moving the car causes excessive strain on the calipers. It's no different than trying to move your car with the e-brake fully engaged.


If that's not it, take it in for service. That's what the warranty is for.

I have a question. What do you torque the bolts to that go from the turbo to the down pipe?

If it's exhaust bolts, I think it's like 60ft/lbs.
