Car is runs poopy... Ok Symptoms:
1)while WOT car backfires and there is noticeable power loss, the when you get to 5krpm it wont go further and its constant backfire.
2)sometimes backfires at startup
3)everyday driving isnt bad but can get bumpy
4) :mad: clickin noise when turning right (mechanic friend asked if it might be an axle bearing and i said how should i know youre the mechanic...)
5)cat rattles
6)very light white smoke (light meaning not much at all) from exhaust and it smells like gasoline

i love my car but i dont think it loves me...

Number 5 pretty much explains your backfire problems... your car is still in the cat warranty (7yr/70K), take it to the dealer and get a new one.

hmm, you think so, the backfire is bad, and the car kinda jerks when it does, jerks as if i let off the gas

Have you done any maintenance recently? Anything due? I'll give you the generic answer: do a tuneup. Any codes? Are you sure it only clicks when you turn right? Could be a bad wire....

Clicks when I turn right or the road is to where the weight goes to the left side. It sounds like it's coming from the back. It's not really a click its a really high pitched metallic tapping noise. I changed the plugs, wires are on the way.

Ok, the clicking is... I don't know. I had a clicking noise in my old Toyota and I think it was a cv joint or something like that, it's been years now and I don't remember. A friend also had that, it was her axle bearing I think. So maybe the mechanic friend is right. If new wires don't help your other problem I would get the coils tested next.

might be my cat huh, i was thinking of getting a magnaflow 3" cat soon anyway so... in another thread they said something about a tranny mount and i was freakin out bc the jerkin that my car does is like that... the thing is that im stupid so where is the tranny mount and where the heck could i get another from???

Check the O2 sensors, and the coil packs. Thats where I would start.
