Subject: Under-Car Creaking on Moving Off

Hi folks, 

Now it's finally warm enough to have the top down I've noticed quite a loud 
"creaking" coming from under the car whilst pulling off (imagine sitting down 
onto a old wooden chair).  The noise isn't in the car (i.e. clutch pedal) and 
there is also a bit of it from 1st to 2nd, but beyond this too much wind/road 
noise to hear it.

I can't get any noise from bouncing any of the corners of the car. 

Could it be engine or diff mounts, something inside the gearbox diff or diff? 

Any thoughts or tests I could do to isolate it? 

Car is a '97 FMII with a regular 5-speed and torsen diff, done 121k miles. 

BTW, still have both intake and exhaust cam advanced by about 14' (due to a 
crank pulley misalignment when changing the water pump) and am enjoying the 
late but more explosive power delivery!
