Ok so after a bit of attempts of "Drifting" the problem occured.

Car drove with a sounds. When you accelerate everything is allright, but as soon as you keep stable rpms, the noise appears somewhere in the back. As well when you let the car deaccelerate in gear, the hard sound appears and as well when you keep giving it pulsating acceleration a clicking sound appears like if somebody would be closing the squeeky door which would make "k K K K K" before it is completely closed.

Another thing i noticed was the slide of "smth" in the direction of the trunk once you start the drive from the trafic light.

Then next morning i started the car i let it work for a while to get working temperatures and i drove out. And while driving a strong Hit appeard in the back and the car stalled. Car starts i can get into gears but no movement ( i assume drive train went out or cracked or diff gone bad). Anyone could digonise aproximate damage from the simptomes which i have given?

As well when you put it in gear and want to rev it and keep rev's it drops and stalls. It does not hold the rpms. You can accelerate but that's it.

As well when you put it in Rear gear you can hear kind of noise like if something heavy fell off on the protective heat cover and brushes thru it with intervals and seems going against some sort of force...

appreciate any advices or help.

Hopefully today in the evening i can get car on a lift and see what's wrong but meanwhile thought i will give it a try with ppl who know more about these issues :)

Kind regards
