    When I go up my drive way, slowly because it's a lime stone driveway, and lots of dips and bumps. I can hear this knocking - tapping? sound coming from the engine bay as I am half way up the 45 degree , or close to it hill in the drive way. You can sort of hear it in the vid, just concentrate on the sound and you should hear what I am talking about. I am not sure if it's pinging? Or lifters?
    Doesn't do it any where else and if I back off the throttle and then get back on it, it goes away but comes back with in a few seconds, once out of the hill and on the flat it stops completely. I also notice it not as bad on other slight incline's around the place with light throttle and low revs. It's done it since I had the car, but I though it was lifters but I just need to clarify.
    If that vid is no good I'll try again to get a better sound.

    Something loose hanging that only moves

    once it's on the incline? Tried looking inside your wheel arches behind the plastic guards???

    maybe the radiator shroud hitting the fan?

    I know my mates Supra does this after everything is warm and usually after a bit of a tramp.
    Does it make that noise just when you start the car up??

    Last thing you played with was zhorst

    Have a look under there. I'm willing to bet that you've probably left a rubber mount off or it has popped off since you put it back on. then again it may also be a heat shield you havent tightened back up or it has worked loose and is hitting the exhaust as your angle changes. I changed shocks and all before I actually came across an improperly secured spare tyre. tell me how shitty I was!!!!!
