Well i was driving around today and all of the sudden i hear a deep BOOm from the side of my car, similar to if a basball was thrown at my door, i got out and looked and there was othing...NE ideas???

 

misfire maybe? something could've hit the panelling under the car beside the door too

 

I dunno it was the scariest thing thats ever haoppened to my teg it was sooo loud and sounded like Something wailed the door

 

maybe some little ******** kid hit your window with a ball or something, who knows, if you can't see/feel anything wrong i wouldnt worry about it.

 

ya i guess your right alright thanks

 

You know what. Funny thing. I happened to have the same experience about a year ago. But I was taking a corner pretty fast when I heard it, and when I put the car up on the lift I had busted off a rear swaybar endlink.

...just thought I'd share.

 

I heard that once or twice a long time ago.

I stopped the car on the road and walked around it a few times and looked carefully. Couldn't see anything wrong. Sounded exactly like you described.

 

maybe you ran over something

 

scruffie!!

 

here stuff like that all the time in my neighborhood damn kidz lol

 

ya, you might have run something over, or got hit by something. that happend to me a couple of months ago and when i searched my car i saw a little bit of liquid on the side panel so i smelled it, it was citrus. some kid threw an orange. but i would check the sway bar just to be safe.

 

the same thing happened to me a few months ago but there was no one in sight and the car was still in perfect shape = ?

 

you couldve ran over something? a misfire? a backfire?

weird.

 

i had a sound come from under my car last month. i hit a bumo then a loud boommm. i broke my right side radius arm. damn that **** fucked up my steering but got it fixed.

 

I wonder if theres a weld/seem that poped apart, and may be a common (high stress area)? Ya know with them using a different technique for welding the chassis in the Type R it really makes me wonder.

yeah i had the same sound comin from my car a few months ago. the only difference was that there was this loud as screetching sound which sounded like metal on metal before the initial boom sound. i just had my car checked out the same day and the mechanics couldnt find anything wrong. odd

 

Wow, i heard the same **** today too. It sounded like a loud pop/bang when i was turning a corner. Scared the crap outta me.

 

happened to me once... major backfire

was pretty cool when every one looked at me at that red light

 

break the sound barrier?

sorry

 

maybe something did hit your door.

 

check your suspension you might have potentially broken something.

 

I just remembered, my car makes this noise going around corners all the time, the front end squats when i turn and if i hit a bump through the turn, "BAM!!!!" the siding smacks the ground

 

my car thumps sometimes just after i take a turn. it seems like if i turn the wheel far enough, like 5 seconds later something under my hood will pop. i can't really tell where exactly it comes from and i haven't really cared enough to figure out what it is... oh well.

 

This is a very common problem eh?

 

it could be your springs settling or something. do you have coilovers by any chance???
