Default Noise question...every once in a while, if I full throttle it in second gear,
I start to hear a kind of clicking or rocks bouncing off metal, then if I do it again, it usually doesn't make the sound...I have stock exhaust/downpipes...any ideas what it could be? is this normal?

t-sauce should cure this - you are octane challenged, it seems.

Default You may have bad gas or station mis-filled with 87 octane.
Stay off the gas until you get some 94(or higher) octane mixed in there.
